New Things May 2020 - Aug 2025

Hello there!
It seems I update this site every 4-5 years. But I have been doing things in the meantime. Here are some interesting ones:

Analyzing Decompiled C++ Vtables and Objects in GCC Binaries (Hardwear.io USA 2023)
LOCKDOWN Lock In Amplifier (Hackaday Op Amp Challenge 2023 w/ Mark Omo)
Teaching New Tricks to an Old Micro: Breaking into [Renesas 78K0S/Kx1+] By Reading the Datasheet (Hardwear.io USA 2024 w/ Mark Omo) (video)
Tracing the Untraceable: Extracting Protected Flash with STM32-TraceRip (Hardwear.io USA 2025 w/ Mark Omo) (video)

And most recently, one I am quite proud of, a talk I gave at DEF CON 33 with Mark Omo just a few days ago:
"Cash, Drugs, and Guns: Why Your Safes Aren't Safe" (talking about security vulnerabilities in certain Securam ProLogic locks)
Slides - Video - Demo of CodeSnatch - Demo of ResetHeist - WIRED Article

I also helped out some guys who were making an air filter. But, nothing too interesting of mine to show on that.
Unfortunately most of the most interesting stuff I've done these last few years is pretty secretive. Maybe some day...
