Ph0wn (pronouce like *phone*) is dedicated to smart devices. Our CTF and Workshops are consequently related to hacking smart devices, with low-level software challenges. Our goal is to have participants interact with equipment (e.g. download firmware, connect to serial port, communication with Bluetooth...) and use typical platforms for embedded devices (ARM, Micropython, MQTT, ESP32...). Some of our best examples:
- Ph0wn 2017: make a Parrot drone to take off without the app.
- Ph0wn 2018: find the flag on a custom watch face for the Amazfit Bip.
- Ph0wn 2019: add a functionality to a connected Nespresso machine.
- Ph0wn 2022: hack a connected jump rope.
- Ph0wn 2023: communicate with the EchoStar XXI satellite.
- Ph0wn 2024: fix vulnerabilities of an app for M5 Stick C.
