Session Information

Topic: Catch a Wave: Surfing an Ocean of Hacking Possibilities with the Flipper Zero

Presenter: Kelly Albrink, Application Security Practice Director

Abstract:

Increasingly, the literal keys to our castles are wireless. From our cars and houses to our entertainment devices and creature comforts, to even some of our personal lifelines with pets or finances - it’s an area rich with innovations and opportunities, and potentially rife with risks.

This session will provide anyone interested in the practice of hardware and wireless pen testing with a primer on the protocols, science, and use cases for sub-Gigahertz hacking. It will then take a “dive” into the Flipper Zero and how to easily “test the waters” in a number of wireless device categories. I will share real world examples of wireless hacking from devices that we are surrounded by in our daily lives.

Vice President of Delivery, Consulting Security Services

Kelly Albrink (CCNA CyberOps, GCIH, GSEC, OSCP, GWAPT, Sec+) is the Vice President of Delivery for Consulting Security Services at Bishop Fox. In this role, she oversees the delivery of comprehensive security assessments including red teaming, application penetration testing, cloud penetration testing, network penetration testing, and hardware (IoT) security services.

Kelly has presented at numerous Bay Area security events including Okta's inaugural security conference, Okta Rex, Day of Shecurity, and the DeadDrop San Francisco Meetup. She is a recipient of the SANS CyberTalent Immersion Academy scholarship and is an active CTF participant. Kelly has competed in the NetWars Tournament of Champions, a national invite-only competition that admits only those who have placed highly in regional CTFs. As a consultant, Kelly frequently performed hardware and wireless testing, becoming a subject matter expert in this area. She is responsible for identifying a high-risk CVE that impacted an Eaton power management appliance. As the Application Security Practice Director at Bishop Fox, she has helped facilitate the expansion of the practice to focus on security during the design phase. This includes the development of offerings such as architecture security assessments, source code review, and threat modeling. She has also created a consulting mentorship program and led the revamp of an internal knowledge-sharing series of technical talks.

Beyond her professional responsibilities, Kelly is an active member of the security community. She volunteers with her local hackerspace, Noisebridge, where she organizes Infosec Lab Nights and mentors aspiring penetration testers. She holds multiple industry certifications including OSCP, GWAPT, GCIH, GSEC, CCNA CyberOps, and Security+, demonstrating her commitment to continuous learning and professional development in cybersecurity. At the first ever DerpCon, she presented on Software Defined Radio (SDR), a topic she later wrote about for the Bishop Fox blog in "Ham Hacks: Breaking into Software-Defined Radio."
