Reverse Engineering for Wireless Devices
This workshop is designed to provide both theoretical and practical knowledge on reverse engineering applied to wireless devices, such as garage door remotes, alarm systems, and wireless doorbells. Although these devices are used as examples, the tools and methodologies covered are applicable to the analysis of any type of device, whether wireless or not.
Workshop Contents
- Introduction to the world of radio:
Fundamental concepts of wireless communication will be explained, along with the basic tools required to begin reverse engineering processes.
- Component analysis:
A walkthrough of datasheets and technical specifications of the various components that make up these devices, enabling participants to understand their internal operation.
- Research methodology:
A step-by-step description of the investigative process—from observation and hypothesis generation to experimentation and result logging—allowing participants to approach the analysis of any device.
- Study of digital outputs:
Analysis of the digital signals generated in the stages prior to transmission, identifying relevant patterns and behaviors.
- Analysis and decoding of transmitted signals:
The workshop will conclude with the interpretation of the transmitted wireless signal, covering decoding techniques and hands-on analysis.
- Common attacks and mitigation tools.
This workshop is intended for individuals interested in electronics, security, and technological research, without requiring advanced prior knowledge. By the end, participants will have concrete tools to approach the reverse engineering of wireless and similar devices.
