Rick Altherr (@kc8apf) spoke with us about firmware security and mentoring.

Rick is a security researcher at Eclypsium. His personal website is kc8apf.net.

Rick's deeply technical dive into reverse engineering car ECUs and FPGA bitstreams was on the Unnamed Reverse Engineering Podcast, episode 24. He also spoke with Chris Gammell The Amp Hour 357 about monitoring servers, many many servers.
