Presented by: Zack Fasel, Erin Jacobs
Date: Saturday August 06, 2016
Time: 10:00 - 10:50
Location: Track Two

This is not just another "I found a problem in a single IOT device" talk. Focusing on attacking three major consumer product lines that have grown rapidly in the past years, Zack and Erin will review flaws they’ve discovered and weaponized against home Windows installs, DIY security solutions, personal fitness tracking devices, and digital notification devices. We’ll review the security of these popular products and services in a ‘consumer reports’ style walkthrough, the attack methods against the 21 devices reviewed, release some tools for the lulz, and highlight the threats facing similar products. It's time to Fight for the Users. END OF LINE.
