 y\, Aug 8\, 14:30 - 15:30 PDT\n   Where: LVCCW Level 1 Hall 3 1007 (Main T
 rack 2) and DCTV-2 - [1]Map\n\n   Description:\n\n   Surveillance tech oft
 en operates as a "black box" burdened by systemic\n   technical debt. This
  session is the capstone of "Bird Hunting Season\,"\n   an independent\, s
 elf-funded teardown and research of the Flock Safety\n   ecosystem. What b
 egan with an eBay purchase evolved into 51+\n   vulnerabilities across Rav
 en gunshot detectors\, Falcon LPRs\, and\n   Picard/Bravo compute boxes.\n
 \n   I detail the project's lifecycle: from hardware root via UART and\n  
  unauthenticated EDL mode to protocol-layer failures. I demonstrate how\n 
   broken mTLS\, hardcoded Java Keystore secrets\, and debugging\n   compil
 ations led to system level escalation. The narrative reaches its\n   clima
 x with an an explanation of how I found 63 live production camera\n   feed
 s exposed without authentication to the public internet.\n\n   I also form
 alize the "Flea Market Supply Chain" attack\, detailing how\n   direct com
 munication with upstream SoM manufacturers can bypass months\n   of revers
 e engineering.\n\n   The talk culminates in the release of BirdShot: a 12 
 module testing\n   framework that incorporates the exploits I've discovere
 d as well as a\n   TensorFlow harness (BirdEye) for hijacking proprietary 
 ML models. I\n   demonstrate how BirdShot automates the journey from a thr
 ee button\n   physical hotspot trigger to a persistent root shell\, provin
 g that when\n   the birds are watching you\, you can watch them back.\n\n
