Folks, if you work with, design, or implement embedded systems this is one episode you don't want to miss. Fair warning, it's a little bit long at just over 50 minutes total. I hope you find the extra time worth the effort of listening, I know we sure did!

In this episode

The quirky things that Josh's organization gets to work on and deconstruct
The methodology of breaking foreign things
Android and why it's "horribly interesting" beyond just the OS everyone sees
Hacking Android at the very, very, very basic hardware interface(s)
Copy/Paste software development and it's pitfalls
Embedded devices as pivot points for intrusion
The importance of embedded systems, and why no one is writing secure code (still)
