Introduction
What to learn a bit about hardware hacking but don't know where to start?
Welcome to the Ruxcon Hardware Hacking Village! A space for enthusiasts and newcomers to come together and level-up skills in electronics and hardware hacking.
Short workshops on topics related to hardware hacking and radio will be delivered by our experienced hosts running the Ruxcon HHV. Breakout sessions on a variety of topics will provide attendees with an opportunity to meet like-minded people.
We recommend that you bring along your own projects and hardware to work on. Remember you will get the most out of the HHV by talking to people working on projects and sharing ideas.
The Hardware Hacking Village is open from 9AM to 3PM on Saturday and Sunday.
If you would like to participate in one of the tutorials please make sure you bring along your own personal equipment as outlined in the required equipment column of the schedule.
Suggested Equipment
Some equipment you might like to bring along:
- Software Defined Radio
- Bus Pirate or Bus Blaster
- Kits to solder
- Old Adsl routers
Please note that most of the tutorials require that you bring your own hardware. See 'Required Equipment' column for more details.
Ruxcon does not take responsibility for your equipment. Safety of personal possessions is the responsibility of the individual.
