Welcome back, Michael Ossmann of Great Scott Gadgets! (his last appearance was on episode #318)
Mike didn't know the HackRF has a subreddit. But he did know about the IRC (Freenode) and the mailing list.XKCD talked about slack hooking to other services and venn diagrams.Great Scott Gadgets has interns! One of them maintains 6502.org.Conferences coming up: Black Hat, B-Sides, DefconThe GreatFET / GoodFET / BusPirate is meant for interfacing software to the real world. There will soon be expansion boards.The HackRF1 was used for the badge at at CCC. People are still using it because the toolchain is similar for badge as HackRF.Dominic Spill and Mike will be presenting at BlackHat.They're currently working on spectrum monitoring tools. These are different than the PortaPak waterfall view, instead sweeping across 6GHz.It uses a software called qspectrum analyzer.Spectrum analyzers (and the math behind them) is the reason for calling it "Contextual" electronics.They are also working with ShinySDR.Silicon Valley pineapple episodeDirect sequence spread spectrumInformation theoryGPS uses a lot of code matching to "dig the signal out of the noise"There is now spoofing/simulation for GPS. This reminded Chris of the plot in GoldenEye Tomorrow Never Dies.Paper about "GPS software attacks"Mike will be joining the other hardware security trainers in San Francisco. They have all been guests on The Amp Hour! There is now a CFP for training participants to get free admission and present during lunch one of the days.Mike will be at DefCon (so will Chris). There was a recent review of the andnotxor badge on Hackaday.DC Darknet is a challenge for learning new skills, including building up a badge.There are a bunch of "villages" targeted at different subjects.Hardware hacking villageWireless villageICS villageDefconTV is the talks being streamed to hotel rooms throughout the conference.Nate from Sparkfun will be giving a talk.Two of the hackers mentioned were Marina Krotofil and Alexander BolshevThe HackRF had a hit piece done against it in the DailyMail!Daisho is still being (slowly) considered. The device core ported from Altera to Xilinx with project Tim Videos mythro Numato Opsis. They also have an Open FPGA standard.They're developing a new "neighbor" for the GreatFET with level shifting capabilities. It uses Silego's GreenPak chips.GreenPak published their bitstream and Andrew Zonenberg has been developing an open source tool for hdl synthesis.Method for reprogramming - in datasheets look development section ("on chip emulation")GSG is now working on SDR for infrared.The OHS schedule was recently published. That will be held in Denver in October.
