A recent history of hacking shows the importance of experimentation. In 2015, security researchers hacked a Jeep Cherokee and took over its steering, transmission, and brakes. In 2019, researchers accessed medical scanning equipment to alter X-ray images, inserting fraudulent, visual signs of cancer in a hypothetical patient.
Today, we're discussing one such experiment—a garage door opener called “Open Sesame.”
Join us for a discussion with "Open Sesame"'s developer, who is also the chief security officer and co-founder of Open Path, Samy Kamkar, to hear about how his tool works, and who holds responsibility for protecting against modern attacks.
