In this workshop, we'll upgrade a cute cat lamp with programmable LED hardware, walk through flashing it with WLED to give it custom animations, and then reflashing it to turn it into a sneaky WiFi hacking device. Workshop will involve beginner-level soldering and assembly skills. Great for cat-lovers and those looking to get into DIY IoT projects. Soldering and assembly tools will be provided, and hardware kits needed may purchased on-site.

The workshop is free for all conference attendees (not including hardware).

In this workshop, you’ll learn to write Bad USB scripts to hack computers using a cute, cat-shaped hacking tool called the USB Nugget. You’ll learn to write scripts to get computers of any operating system to do your bidding in seconds, and also how to automate nearly any desired action remotely. If you want to learn about simple scripting and HID attacks this workshop is for you!

The USB Nugget kit may be purchased at the workshop.
