Podcast Notes As mentioned in last weeks episode, MacroFab is moving to a new location currently. See Figure 1. Parker is going to hack his Jeep's radio this weekend with a Bluetooth Audio board. Parker is using this board found on Amazon. See Figure 2. Parker goofed on making the podcast notes and had that NXP was buying out Qualcomm. It is actually the other way around. Set for a $39 billion buy out. Botnet Recall of Things. This is a continuation of the IoT DDOS attacks that have been happening this past couple weeks. Commentator "anszom" in the Hack A Day comment thread had a really good idea. 1. Write a bot attacking the vulnerable devices. It doesn’t seem very difficult 2. Our new bot either simply bricks the device or changes the default password to a random one 3. Problem “solved’ :) Stephen and Parker think they need to make designers and programmers of IoT devices accountable for security. Maybe implement a CE/FCC emissions and ESD testing for hardware. Can a security test be standardized across multiple platforms? Special thanks to whixr over at Tymkrs for the intro and outro!
