DEF CON 30 RF Village - Dan Perret - Hacking IEEE 802.15.4 Low-Rate Wireless Networks

IEEE 802.15.4 is a standard for Low-Rate Wireless Networks, and defines the physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers for higher level protocols such as Zigbee and 6LoWPAN to build upon. In this presentation, we will discuss the basics of IEEE 802.15.4, and hardware and software tools to interact with these networks. We will also walk through some of the IEEE 802.15.4 challenges that have been running in the Radio Frequency Capture the Flag (RFCTF) over the last few years, as well as introducing a new IEEE 802.15.4 based challenge.
Speaker Bio:
Dan enjoys capturing and manipulating wireless signals, especially when he can turn those signals into new Radio Frequency Capture the Flag (RFCTF) challenges.
