How deep into a system can you go, dump the database or not? Reverse shell or touch /tmp/pwned? What are YOUR ethical boundaries?",

In rural areas, we often lose cellular wireless signal entirely, even within highly technologically advanced economies such as the UK, EU, US etc. We then find that we are unable to send or receive text messages, even emergency messages." ,

In this talk I will go through the simple homebrew antennas and cheap (around £10) receivers that you can use to get such diverse things as weather satellite images, pictures from the ISS, receive telemetry from the orbiting CubeSats, and even begin communicating with the first Amateur Geosynchronous Satellite, QO-100 where you can receive TV pictures from amateurs across the world with a rust old satellite dish and a cheap LNB. It is amazing what you can do with a piece of bent water pipe or a coat hanger!" ,

I particularly love the 18th century gentlemen scientists with their electrical entertainments - particularly because they appreciated the magic of electriocity and were so excited by it. Its sad that people today just take electricity for granted. Over the years I've accumulated a collection of contemporary images which I'll use to illustrate the talk. It may include a few demonstations as well. " ,

This talk will focus on what has been learnt from years of giving young people the chance to take photos from the ISS using affordable commercial hardware. There will be plenty of the amazing images that have been captured so far, along with some examples of unexpected interruptions and the challenges when you can’t actually see or touch the equipment yourself." ,

We found a vulnerability on a common office printer that allowed us to run our own code on the device. I'll talk about the whole hacking process, from getting access to the printer software, finding and exploiting a vulnerability, and then how we took that to its logical rollerskating 90s conclusion. I'll include some juicy technical bits of course but hope to make this talk accessible and interesting for everyone." ,
