An interview with Holly Graceful
06 Apr 2019
This week, Holly Graceful (
@HollyGraceful
,
gracefulsecurity.com
) joined us to talk about her
recent
hardware reverse engineering blog
series
and her pen(etration) testing and security career in both public and private sectors. She tells us about how she entered the field via the military and some of those differences.
We discussed breaking down projects into smaller bites. We talk about why getting access to the
JTAG
(use it for
...)
port can be super easy in the consumer product and it may be more calculated than expected. The series ends with some key fob fun.
We do a minor round up of
software defined radio
and the
USRP
used with
gnuradio
. We catch up on what Alvaro is doing with his SDRs.
Holly is working on more posts so stay follow to be updated with the latest.
