Samy Kamkar Talks Hardware Security on Hackster Café
Samy Kamkar is famous in the wireless and hardware information security scene for his research on various security exploits including methods to defeat rolling code security, and using a children's toy to open wireless garage doors. In a recent Hackster.io Hackster Café interview Samy talks about various security related topics including software defined radios.
Samy Kamkar first became notorious for software and hardware security exploits – including SkyJack, a custom drone that could take control of other UAVs, and OpenSesame, a hacked child's toy that can open remote-controlled garage doors. He now brings this deep experience to Openpath, the touchless access control company he co-founded in 2016. From security celebrity to founder, we sit down for a chat with Samy on this episode of Hackster Café (new episodes every Tuesday at 10am Pacific).
This guy did not create anything regarding the rolling code security exploits – Those existed since the 2000’s and he simply copied other’s work. Always annoys me when mimics like this guy “publish” stuff that is not their original work and then flocks of mimics follow the original mimic all claiming to have created something.
