    Ep048: Truly Trustworthy Hardware, Glowing Uranium Marbles, Bitstreaming the USB, Chaos of Congress

    Hackaday editors Mike Szczys and Elliot Williams review the week's most interesting hardware hacks, starting with Elliot's experience at the Chaos Communications Congress (36c3), where he showcased a hoverboard-derived electric cargo carrier and discussed various community projects. The hosts then cover a diverse range of builds, including a verifiable hardware platform called 'Be Trusted' designed to prevent tampering, a uranium marble-based random number generator, and a VGA-to-USB adapter reverse-engineered for bitstreaming. They also highlight creative uses of 3D printing for paper pulp molds, a discrete 1-kilopixel camera, and the democratization of FPGAs and AI on the edge.

    039 - Changing the Nature of Reality

    Natalie Silvanovich, a member of Google's Project Zero, discusses her extensive reverse engineering of Tamagotchi devices, detailing how she bypassed epoxy blobs using nitric acid and exploited memory timing vulnerabilities to dump firmware from GeneralPlus chips. She explains the evolution of the devices from simple 6502-based systems to modern ARM-based models with Bluetooth, Android apps, and Unity engines, while also touching on her professional work finding remote code execution vulnerabilities in WebRTC and Flash implementations. The conversation covers the small but dedicated community of Tamagotchi hackers, including Mr. Blinky and Boulter, and highlights the tools she uses, such as IDA, Ghidra, and Frida, to analyze both hardware and software components.
