Android updates for any phone that isn’t a flag-ship phone is patchy at best these days. Between that and a world of benefits for those who customize android, compiling android is a useful skill. We’ll be going over some of the basics next Thursday (the 2nd) around 8pm EST.

Since the files involved are massive, and the build times are long, we recommend a bit of prep work: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/blueline/build Getting to the stage where you have downloaded the source code is a good idea.

Workshop is free, however donations are welcome. Remote atendees can tune in here: https://meet.jit.si/CompilingAndroidWorkshop

This is an introductory, hands-on workshop for absolute beginners. We will start with an introduction to python, and work our way up by learning and applying basic programming concepts until we are able to make our own auto-correct program as an example.

Please bring your own laptop and install Python 3.6.5 here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-365/. No programming experience required!

Goals:
We will learn how to reverse engineer a basic buffer overflow vulnerability.
Part of this will be an introduction to fuzzing for the vulnerability, followed by how to write a piece of
modern exploit code that will work around Address Space Layout Randomization and Write/Execute Exclusion.

This will be a Windows10 focused tutorial.

Bringing your own laptop with Win10 installed in some fashion is required.

More advanced techniques will be seen as time permits.

Subjects covered:

• Setting up x64dbg on windows, and navigating a basic binary.
• Integrating this with unicorn engine.
• OS end execution model for Win10 overview.
• Exploit code and shellcode development.
• Basic fuzzing of input through hooking the binary using unicorn engine.
• Stretch goal: if time permits, we will leverage Z3 based SMT solvers to fuzz.

This is an advanced course.

8 hours has been assigned to the block with an hour for lunch. Finishing at 18:00.
Knowledge of at least python scripting as well as the basics of computer science is required.

A 25$ donation at the door is strongly encouraged to support FOULAB.

This will be an introductory workshop to soldering! In this workshop we will cover the basic idea behind soldering, what it’s useful for, and some hands on practice. Recommended donation of 20$, but no one turned away for want of money. We have 20 seats in this workshop, and it is first come first serve.

Tuesday, March 29th starting at 9:00PM, Gabriel De Roy will be coming in to play test Bootleg Systems, a first person retro-sci-fi-puzzle-platformer. Do you like neon? Do you like synth pop? Do you like weaponized 3D fax machines of the future? This may be your kinda game. Come hang out, play the demo, and discuss your favourite 80’s sci-fi.

IoT is one of the catchy technologies of this year, but it’s not perfect. Synchronizing with third parties and sharing very useful data with any marketing company doesn’t appeal to everyone. Luckily, a parallel industry of DIY IoT devices is running smoothly, and we’d like to help you explore it. This work shop features the latest TI-SensorTag. Workshop fees include one of these impressive boards. The first project we’ll be doing with this board is a weather station. Pair the weather station over BluetoothLE with your iPhone or android device and get local readouts of air pressure, humidity and temperature. Future workshops using the same device are in the works, so get a head start!

WHEN:March 26th, 10AM onwards, until you have a weather station
