Special thanks to Andrea of Hardwear.io team for inviting us. We learned a ton and meet a bunch of new people while (as of this writing) stayed COVID-free.

Interviews in order:

• Eric Schlaepfer - author of the  new book with co-author Windell Oskay (of “ Evil Mad Scientists Laboratories ” fame )  “ Open Circuits ” on No Starch press. Notes there are PREORDER discounts.
• Jacob Creedon: Just before his talk… at the Mountain View Reverse Engineering Meetup.
• Spencer Moss from Google (I’m sure you can google the company) security engineer
• Ken from Somerset Recon
• Will McGuiness as the workshop assistant for John McMaster’s microprobing workshop.
• Mike Ryan : Bluetooth expert from Ice 9 Consulting and previous guest.  As promised he would be on this next show… but the part2 of our RF tools with him will be the next episode.
