atlasutils-2.2.19.tgz

check check check.. is this thing on?
wow, after a long long long hiatus, i'm back! ok sorta.
so, the long and skinny is... i had to change hosting a while back, and the new environment was so fux0rd that i never got the proper permissions and libraries/code stuffs set up to handle the blog and it's resources. when i moved hosting orgs again, i simply never got around to it.

i'm soooo sorry for the inconvenience. however, i only have 168 hours in a week, and life has been continually attacking me for more than the three years i've been dark. you know the old cartoon...





yeah, well, that's been the last 4+ years for me.
commentary is best effort.

i'm now working closely with the folks at Grimm (SMFS). yes, in case you were uncertain SMFS means Smart MotherFuckerS. true story, and actually legit. in my time working with them, i've been involved in everything from hacking Automobiles, Drones, Smart Meters, Complex Internet WWW Software (ahem), and other fun exploitationary events. i helped their team build a cool car hacking tool, RfCat (and you can buy RfCats either Michael Ossmann's YS1 or here)
RfCat has been a wonderful success, at least i'm guessing from all the comments from people who have used it. thank you for your feedback, i'm very happy it's enabling other smart hacker kidz to look at the world differently and do awesomesauce!
one of my good friends posted some fun stuff here (AndrewMohawk) and here. many other developments have happened with RfCat (directly or tangentially), including PandwaRF (they did a fun comparison of their hw against YS1 and RTL-SDR) and other cool tools and experiments by people like Samy Kamkar doing stuff and things. or how about this fun exploit (although mike gives credit and so should i, to andrew zonenberg for finding and exploiting SimpliSafe in the first place).
while doing research, i caught a few links from mike that i'll recap here.

and hak5 did a cool intro to RfCat/YS1. thanks guys!
and i'm finding new ones even while typing this!.

of course my favorite story i can't share or link to, but involves zero-day against a power meter. awesome seeing other brilliant hackers poking them too :)

and now RfCat is and CanCat are being used (along with other tools) in a specialized training for the National Guard training event coming up really soon, which Grimm is helping put together.
i don't mean to gush, i'm honored and very happy that RfCat is being useful to so many! thank you! indeed, this is so much work from other people *using* RfCat to do great things :)
well done.

believe it or not, this did not originally start out to be a blog post about RfCat. in the past few years, it's been only part of what i've been working on. many of you have seen my work (with visi and others) on symbolik analysis (arguably not my best preso). others have seen the fruits of CanCat, 3PO and car-hacking. we're really pushing all the technologies to break and improve the Critical Infrastructure, focused on Automotive (including military and commercial interests), Aviation, Power and Electric, and even Rail, as well as Oil and Gas.
