Discover the world of Wireless! From traditional Wi-Fi networks, wireless peripherals, and Bluetooth devices to the broader spectrum of sensors, IoT, and OT, we'll discuss understanding a full signal profile. Set your eyes and ears to RX, keep the TX down to the noise floor, and gain insights on crafting a signals intelligence profile to monitor, attack, or defend your invisible infrastructure.


Operational Wireless is a talk for individuals of diverse technical backgrounds - whether you install access points, you've just purchased your first Alfa adapter, or you're a veteran RF engineer, this presentation will tune you to new frequencies. Accidentally receiving this interference? Don't worry, we'll throw in some basics - free of charge.

For our most Offensive friends, join us and better understand your attack surface, elevate your methodology! Bored of Wi-Fi and want to try something new? Don't just stand by, this is the place for you! We'll talk about applications of wireless in the red and black team that are sure to make for the coolest story. But please, in the interest of safety, don't REX your way to the talk.

Our dear defenders... By the end of this, you'll understand that just because you can't see these "waves" that are "totally there, I promise", doesn't mean you can't defend them. Whether you're an enterprise with enough RF to cook dinner or a mom-and-pop with a single router, you'll have your WIDS about you when we're done.

To the OT shamans and the IoT wizards, the world may not know your name yet, but don't get your WirelessHART all Meshtastic, come join us on the wM-Bus. Just don't forget to feed the (ERT) meter.
