Ep 223: Smoking Smart Meter, 489 Megapixels, and Unshredding Documents

Hackaday Podcast · 16 Jun 2023 · 1h 07m · Episode 223

What this episode covers

Hosts Elliot Williams and Dan Maloney review recent hardware hacks, including a debunked Flipper Zero smart meter hoax, a 489-megapixel camera built from a scanner, and an all-transistor HP 5245L frequency counter. They also discuss the challenges of restoring Stasi documents, the decline of smart speakers, and various community projects like FreeCAD tutorials and ultrasonic sensor arrays. The episode highlights the gap between theoretical ease and practical difficulty in reverse engineering and document reconstruction.

    053 - It's Hammer Time!

    Hash, a reverse engineer known for smart meter hacking, discusses his journey from self-taught electronics hobbyist to analyzing critical infrastructure. He details his reverse engineering of the Neato XV-11 robot vacuum's LIDAR to win a bounty, and his current work using Software Defined Radios (SDRs) like the HackRF and Yardstick One to analyze Landis+Gyr smart meters. Hash explains how he bypassed frequency hopping by transmitting on all channels simultaneously and highlights the security risks of these devices, including data leakage from decommissioned hardware found on eBay.
