A fancy camera with an e-paper display and an accelerometer so you can shake it to display captured photos!

Overview

The E-Paper Polaroid Badge is was a planned Unofficial DEF CON badge featuring:

  • 4.2” E-Paper Display
  • OV2640 Camera
  • Accelerometer (Shake To Reveal, like a polaroid!)
  • SD Storage
  • Bluetooth
  • Li-Po Battery Powered with optional Full USB Bypass (for when the conference is over and you want to power it 24/7)
  • Many RGB LEDs
  • LED-based Flash
  • Ambient Light Detection

A COTS cobbled version of this design was worn at #DEFCON32.

State

Killed in the crib.

Note: I stopped working on this project after I saw that I had missed that Adafruit has an OV2640 camera that is almost the exact design I was making except with an OLED or something instead of an e-paper.

Get one of these for way cheaper instead.

Overview

The Dirt Cheap EMP is an XYZ Stage-mountable Electromagnetic Fault Injection tool based on the High Voltage section of the ChipShouter-PicoEMP and FaultyCat.

Unlike other low-cost EMFI tools, the Dirt Cheap EMP features no controller and must be operated by an external fast-gpio capable device, such as a Raspberry Pi RP 2040/2350. An optional RP2040-based controller is also in development.

The EMP device is designed to be XYZ-stage mounted using the same format as a 40mm fan, with 4 4.1mm mounting holes spaced in a square at 32mm from one another. This format allows the device to be mounted on most 3D printer toolheads, as well as on similar easily DIY-made solutions. While traditional commercial and industrial XYZ-stage solutions can cost from hundreds to many thousands of dollars, an adequately comparable level of precision for the purposes of EMFI attacks against consumer-grade hardware can be achieved for a significantly lower cost.

This lowers the barrier to entry for performing more well-automated attacks against chip packages by more hackers. Tactical diffusion, democratization of access.

Overview

The Dirt Cheap JTAG Adapter is designed for adapting common 2x10/2.54mm and 2x5/1.27mm JTAG/SWD connectors with one another. The adapter connects directly to both SEGGER J-Link AND SEGGER J-Link Mini models and provides easily accessible 2x10 and 2x5 headers.

For those of you who have modded your J-Link to add 3.3v output , pin 2 is connected across the board and separate from GND, so this adapter will work just fine for you.

All good the adapter works well, needed for the project. Cheers!
