When Luca Cipriano and Jeroen Scheerder were given the challenge, they took an unexpected approach—step one: build the boat themselves.

It was a scale model, but they made sure it closely mirrored a real boat’s systems. With help from Damen Shipyards engineers, they even included a working ballast system.

Of course the next step was to hack said ballast system.

In this Threat Talks episode, Lieuwe Jan Koning chats with Luca and Jeroen about building the boat, why they did it, the fun they had along the way and whether or not their plan worked. They also dive into how they hacked the ballast system and how such an attack could’ve been prevented.
