InCyber Forum North America 2023

Yes, I know this post is coming a bit late, but I had to get it out anyway.

My First Talk

I had the opportunity to present this year at FIC North America in Montreal, focusing on the latest developments in the Hacking Lab, a specialized stage in offensive security! It was my first presentation and, moreover, it was in English!

Thanks, Dorota, for the pictures! :D

My presentation aimed to discuss hardware hacking on embedded systems, a topic I find fascinating even though it's not my specialty. Who knows, maybe in the future? My talk was very geared towards those who want to embark on the adventure, providing the basics and the necessary equipment to gain shell access to a device. During this presentation, I used an old TP-Link router as an example, connecting to the URAT port to gain access. My Flipper Zero was useful for creating a USB to UART bridge.

Besides my presentation, it was a very interesting event. I had the chance to meet up with my cyber friends and make new ones!

Unfortunately, the presentation wasn't recorded, but it won't be the last for those who like to attend.

Hacker Without Borders

I discovered the NGO Hacker Without Borders and spoke with their representatives. I applied in the evening, now I just have to wait for the North America chapter to open its doors to embark on the adventure!

Thanks !

I would like to thank Vincent Rioux once again for the invitation to present this year! As I mentioned, it was my first presentation, and it was intenseβ€”the room was packed! Thank you to those who attended the presentation. It won't be the last; I have other topics in mind to share with you.
