April Meeting - Nick D on DeDECTed

|

April Fool's day brings us a treat as Nick D presents on the deDECTed project.

DECT or Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications, is a standard used for various data communications devices, most commonly phones but also mobile POS systems. Mostly deployed in Europe and making leaps and boundsin the US DECT was the recent focus of some hackers in Germany who sought out to create a Linux stack and driver for DECT hardware. With this hardware you can intercept DECT communications where encryption is optional, including cordless phones.

At this talk Nick will talk in details about the Dedected project, it's goals and progress as well as demonstrate a live intercept of a DECT phone call and conversation.
