Ringzer0 BOOTSTRAP25 Austin

Xeno Kovah

Prior to working full time on OpenSecurityTraining2 (ost2.fyi), Xeno worked at Apple designing architectural support for firmware security, and code auditing firmware security implementations. A lot of what he did revolved around adding secure boot support to the main and peripheral processors (e.g. the Broadcom Bluetooth chip.) He led the efforts to bring secure boot to Macs, first with T2-based Macs, and then with the massive architectural change of Apple Silicon Macs. Once the M1 Macs shipped, he left Apple to pursue the project he felt would be most impactful: creating free deep-technical online training material and growing the newly created OpenSecurityTraining 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

WORKSHOP: Blue2thprinting: identifying the form and function of the Bluetooth devices
Xeno Kovah

At this very moment you are enveloped in the warm glowing warming glow of dozens to hundreds of Bluetooth devices. Aren’t you curious what all those little critters are?! In this workshop we’ll use the Blue2thprinting tools to poke at these apparitions and get a sense of what they are and what they want from us!

Note: this workshop will require you to run a prepared Linux VMware VM, and plug in USB Bluetooth dongles for sending and receiving packets. Come with VMware installed, and a machine you're willing to plug USB devices into.
