[CREATE] Summary of Reverse Engineering Workshop

[Steve Conklin]

As requested, here's a summary of the workshop:

The workshop was a vert fast introduction to reverse engineering consumer
devices in which access is desired to an available (but undocumented)
interface.

The workshop covered different motivations for reverse engineering, some
applicable US laws, and a quick introduction to serial interfaces.

(most) Participants were able to use the workshop board set to walk through
the process of monitoring a serial data stream between two components of a
system, and then to command one of those components independently. There
was not enough hardware for everyone to participate with the hands-on
hardware.

I enjoyed hosting the workshop, and would be happy to hear any feedback
from participants (in private email if you want). This is only the second
time I've taught this workshop, and it is an evolving project.
