Josh and Kurt talk about the Meshtastic open source project. It’s a really slick mesh radio system that runs on very cheap radio equipment. This episode isn’t very security related (there are a few things), but it is very open source. https://traffic.libsyn.com/opensourcesecuritypodcast/Episode_452_All_about_Meshtastic.mp3 Show Notes Meshtastic Heltec LoRa 32(V3) Radio 465 Rutgers University Confirmed: Meshtastic and LoRa are dangerous Meshtastic Routing Issues & Deployment Scenarios TC2-BBS-mesh The Comms Channel Josh’s BBS Heltec T114 bug

Josh and Kurt talk about a few security stories about radio. The TETRA:BURST attack on police radios, spoofing GPS for airplanes near Iran, and Apple including cellular radios in the macbooks. The common thread between all these stories is looking at the return on investment for security. Sometimes good enough security is fine, sometimes it’s not worth fixing certain security problems because the risk vs reward doesn’t work out. https://traffic.libsyn.com/opensourcesecuritypodcast/Episode_406_The_security_of_radio.mp3 Show Notes TETRA:BURST GPS spoofing attack Apple MacBooks cellular radio Mossad vs Not Mossad
