The PS2 is more than capable of doing some wild things, including running Linux. I always wondered if we could just write baremetal Go code on it, so I decided to give it a try.

Let’s improve our hacks from part 1 and make it prettier! Oh yeah, and still not detected!

Let’s talk about defeating anti-cheat software with some custom hardware - and not being detected doing so!

What happens when a major TV network decides to soft-block an older version of their own streaming app? Yep, we make it work again!

Have you ever wondered if it would be possible to make a “dumb” “hi-fi system” smart? Not that smart, but simply connect a device and it would play whatever stream you want into you? Maybe even stream from your phone? Then this is for you.

The Asustor firmware can automatically control the fan speed, but sometimes the NAS can get pretty warm. Can we do better?

The VM booted, but it didn’t see any disks. In this part we’ll dive deeper into the firmware and patch the hell out of it.

It’s a x86-64 machine, so it should be possible… right?

I’ve decided to improve my NAS monitoring scripts a bit. You know, stuff you usually do on a Saturday.

I’ve played and tricked my NAS before, but now I want to know how it reads its sensors. Let’s go deeper!

A NAS full of CGI binaries and SSH root access. What could go wrong?

Positivo released a few smart devices that can’t be easily integrated into Home Assistant. So I reverse engineered their app!

I don’t even know how to begin explaining this.

This is a story of why you should always check permissions on the backend!

Sensitive data leakage is a serious issue. Even though some people don’t really care much, in the wrong hands such data could be used for pretty much anything, including identity theft. Let’s take a look at this issue today with one of my favorite transportation apps: Cabify.

And we’re back with the ESP8266! Now it’s time to finally present the project and my results with it, both in its original form and the upgrades.

This is the part II of my ESP8266 series.

Ah, microcontrollers. Man, I missed playing with those. Seriously. Who here who has ever played with one doesn’t miss countless hours of programming and weird debugging? It’s always so much fun… mostly.
