Unmasking the Black Box: Eduardo Montovani on Wi-Fi Security, AI, and Affordable Hacking
summary
Focuses on practical Wi‑Fi security: a homemade web interface controls a Wi‑Fi USB dongle from China to set monitor mode, send and receive frames and sniff traffic, and it works on low‑cost hardware. Notes a $10 4G hardware board that reproduces attack surfaces of expensive kit. Uses LLMs for discovery (SDKs, leaks) but relies on human reverse engineering for firmware decryption and low‑level exploits. Recommends shrinking feature surface and continuous code analysis.
