Rogan Dawes
Rogan Dawes is a senior researcher at SensePost and has been hacking since 1998, which, coincidentally, is also the time he settled on a final wardrobe. He used the time he saved on choosing outfits to live up to his colleague’s frequent joke that he has an offline copy of the Internet in his head. Rogan spent many years building web application assessment tools, and is credited as having built one of the first and most widely used intercepting proxies; WebScarab. In recent years, Rogan has turned his attentions towards hardware hacking; and these days many suspect him to be at least part cyborg. A good conversation starter is to ask him where he keeps his JTAG header.

LTE modems are found in many embedded devices, basically anything that needs on-the-go communications. Did you know that many LTE modems are actually running a full-blown operating system, specifically, Linux? As a result, there are a number of opportunities for hacking these modems, and potentially the rest of the device it is embedded in. This talk will cover some of the things to be aware of if you are designing or hacking devices with these embedded modems.
