We were founded in July 2010 and moved into our first space a few months later in November. Sometimes referred to as a Makerspace, Makershop, or shared workspace, the Boulder Hackerspace is a space which functions as both a workshop and a place to hold our meetings. Here we explore art and technology and support each other in developing creative ideas/plans/toys/inventions/madness!

Kaspersky SAS 2017 Presenter

Power-wheelchairs could potentially infect anything in their path, leading to global fear that any device can be hacked and be used against anyone. Chairs are excellent malware vectors because they have Bluetooth which allows to attack nearby devices. Crafty internet access can be achieved using 6LoWPAN, so one can download new exploits to the chair’s memory. Then use those exploits against any kind of Bluetooth-enabled device. Chairs are recent IoT devices and they can hide exploits in plain sight. Presented possible ways to implement malware in chairs.

Geekpwn 2016 Presenter

DEFCON 24 IoT Village presenter: Hot Wheels: hacking electronic wheelchairs

I reverse engineered a closed and proprietary protocol that relied on the CAN standard called R-Net for power wheelchairs. I showed how easy it was to inject standard CAN messages to take full control of chairs with R-Net electronics. I provided some basic open source tools to allow people to customize their chairs more easily.
