Joe Grand - Breaking San Francisco's "Smart" Parking MeterAt the Black Hat Briefings in July 2009, Jake Appelbaum, Chris Tarnovsky, and I gave a presentation about "smart" electronic parking meters, the hardware hacking and reverse engineering processes, and a specific vulnerability of San Francisco's parking meter smartcard interface that enabled free parking to the unscrupulous attacker.This dorkbot reprise skips the high-level fluff and focuses on the technical details of the parking meter hack, which has since been fixed...or has it? Joe Grand is an electrical engineer, hardware hacker, and washed-up TV host. http://www.grandideastudio.com/ Tim Dye - Weather Report - No Numbers, Just ColorsWe are all drowning in data. Our ability to interpret data is increasingly challenging in today's hyper real-time world. Weather data is no exception. Why can't data displays be more intuitive and easier to understand?Tim Dye's 21-year career in meteorology has been filled with numbers, predictions & maps. He's intrigued by gems of knowledge hidden in piles of data. He's always loved technology since his Commodore 64 computer in high school. Tim stumbled into art through a pottery class he took to balance his overly analytic, day-job brain. Recently, Tim's been exploring the integration of data, technology and art to create visual pieces.
Jake and Lilia Markham - Nuclear AnalyzerIt's a good thing for people to start thinking about radiation, because it's coming.. the USA has learned nothing from Fukushima and all our reactors are 40+ years old and falling apart, and the NRC just keeps rubber-stamping lisence renewals. It will be helpful for people to be able to see what kind of radiation they're exposed to, as opposed to a simple radiation counter like a geiger counter.Jake and Lilia are hackers at noisebridge who attended the hacker prom by telepresence, as a giant robot. A website for a similar project and Jake's teacher: http://www.kosmophone.com/ If you would like to give a presentation in the future or host a dorkbotSF meeting, please contact Karen Marcelo at dorkbotsf [at] dorkbot [dot] org
