Is that classroom gadget a STEM learning tool… or a chaos-launching device? This session dives into how seemingly innocent tech—microcontrollers, dev boards, even USB cables—can be reprogrammed for mischief, mayhem, and mission-critical disruption.

You'll discover how attackers exploit these devices to hijack networks, steal credentials, bypass physical security, and impersonate infrastructure—all using hardware that blends seamlessly into everyday environments. Expect real-world demos, hands-on insights, and practical strategies to detect and defend against these threats.

Whether you're a defender, a tinkerer, or just here for the shenanigans, you'll leave this session amused, alarmed, and armed with countermeasures.
