The ToorCon 14 Badge

I designed an electronic badge for ToorCon again this year. It features a CC1111 sub-1 GHz wireless transceiver IC with USB connectivity. This chip has the same radio as the CC1110 in the popular IM-Me. While the badge is certainly hackable hardware-wise, I hoped that it would allow people to explore radio applications without having to heat up any soldering irons.

The ToorCon 14 Badge shipped with RfCat firmware and a USB bootloader installed, so conference attendees were able to start experimenting with just a USB cable, a laptop, and the RfCat software. Although I am a fan of software defined radio, sometimes a wireless transceiver IC is all you need to do some interesting things, and RfCat is the easiest way I know to get started.

The badge is designed to be similar to and firmware compatible with the CC1111 EMK (aka "Don's Dongle"), but it has a few extra goodies. Most notably, it shipped with RfCat firmware and CC Bootloader installed. It also features a GoodFET compatible programming header and a row of test points that would have been compatible with the GIMME had I measured correctly. (Oops! Aren't you glad there is a USB bootloader?) The badge also has an option to install an external antenna connector, allowing better performance across the whole frequency range of the CC1111 than previous designs.

I held a badge hacking contest and was happy to see several people working on interesting ideas at the con. One group blew everyone else away: the Root the Box team built a multi-user wireless chat system. They implemented their own network protocol, user interface, and even HTTP tunneling from the ground up using RFCat's rflib Python library. (in two days!) Check out my video of the demonstration they gave me. They even posted the source code for their winning entry.

These were the same guys who won the ToorCon 13 badge hacking contest by implementing a simple game with 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity. Check out their Root the Box CTF event coming up in January!

There were a few extra badges made. Look for them to go on sale soon at HakShop and Ada's Technical Books.

One more reason to regret not visiting the ToorCon! Though the beta version of HackRF is even more attractive!

I will try to load RfCat to my own CC1111 dongle I wrote you about sometime ago, but it totally misses the cool factor of yours!

the rootthebox guys did an awesome job using the toorcon badge! <3

Will the HackRF transceiver support openbts?

Thanks.

Michael Ossmann said...

OpenBTS support would be tricky and would probably require two HackRF units, one TX and one RX. It isn't something we are working on at this time.

Matt Nottingham said...

As they haven't appeared in either of the shops you mention, do you know when this is likely to occur?

Hello everyone, I’m Maria Bauer from Brisbane, Australia.
I wish to share this information with the public about Wardrivers Cyber. A few months back, I was seeking an investment opportunity but I ended up being scammed of $137,000 in Bitcoins.
I was depressed and disappointed in myself until an article popped up about Wardrivers cyber, a cryptocurrency recovery company and to my surprise, they were able to recover almost all the funds I had lost. I’m sharing this out of excitement as I know there are many people out there who must have had an encounter with these swindlers.
You can reach them on (Wardriverscyberservice@techie .com)

My cousin brought up the idea of investing in crypto as it seems to be very profitable now. The first few investments that we made was really profitable just like we thought of and that made us invest even more. Few weeks after investing a sum of $185,400, we realized that the investment was nothing but a scam because we came across 5 people’s testimony complaining about the investment platform. Since they complained that they were not able to withdraw neither their profits nor the funds, we did not bother trying to withdraw our own because it still would not work. We decided to act fast so that we can get our money back by looking for an expert recovery agent and that’s how Software Specialist came to the rescue. We got refereed to him by some of my workmates from work, he came highly recommended and believe, we too highly recommend him. We contacted him immediately at softwarespecialist@usa.com and after much discussion with him we finally gave him all the necessary information he needed for the recovery. After 2 days, we got our funds back, we don’t really know how he got this done but this is really awesome, we were opportune to get our money back from the scam investment through the help of Software Specialist.

THE BEST AND MOST TRUSTED BITCOIN HACKER...

I'M THE HAPPIEST WOMAN ON THE PLANET...I still can't believe my lost Bitcoin was recovered; Captain WebGenesis is a true godsend; I received my missing Bitcoin within 48 hours. I had read some fantastic testimonials about Captain WebGenesis before calling him and explaining how a bogus investment organization had stolen my Bitcoin and I needed assistance recovering it... Captain WebGenesis was so precise, I had no idea it would work so quickly for me... After hearing about my predicament, he did all humanly possible to recover my lost Bitcoin from those scammers. I volunteer to share my testimony with anyone else who has been fooled and requires the services of a recovery agency to reclaim their funds, that Captain WebGenesis is a genuine and trustworthy Bitcoin recovery agency that reclaims any bitcoin stolen from victims by fraudulent investment firms.
