1. AI & Robotics in Supply Chain Cyber Risk 2. Hardware Hacking a Commercial Cam

*Talk Submissions*: [ruxmon@proton.me](http://ruxmon@proton.me%2A%2A/) **1\. Cyber Risk in the age of AI and Robotics in Modern Supply Chains** **\- Aadam \(xXPhantom\)** A few months back I was walking through a warehouse and got a bit of a shock. Robots doing almost everything. They were fast, no breaks, no complaints, just quietly getting on with it while a small handful of people kept watch. It was one of the company's biggest sites in Victoria, and standing there I couldn't stop thinking: what happens if someone breaks into this? The losses to the company would be immense. So I went and dug into it. How these heavily automated setups actually fail, and how attackers go after them. That's what this session is about: where the industry's heading, what it means for security, and how these attacks really unfold in practice. You don't need to know anything about cybersecurity going in, I'll start right from the basics. **Speaker** Aadam Shaik is a graduate student at the University of Melbourne. He started as an incident responder before moving into business development for cloud security, and has run a fair few workshops helping non-technical people get their heads around cyber risk. Outside of work and study he's usually pulling something apart to figure out how it works, or messing around with whatever new tech has caught his attention. He also co-hosts Cyber in Minutes on LinkedIn with Rohit, where they unpack recent cyber attacks and talk through how to stop the next one: [https://www.linkedin.com/groups/16520029/](https://www.linkedin.com/groups/16520029/ "https://www.linkedin.com/groups/16520029/") **2\. Pixels vs Pliers: Hardware Hacking a Commercial Cam** At Ruxmon, almost a year ago to the day, an unstoppable force met an immovable objective... This talk runs through what happened when Peter (rankstar) was presented with a challenge after his last presentation - develop a hardware hacking workshop suitable for complete beginners through to pros. The chosen target: a commercial webcam. Co-presented with Claire (weirdc0rn), it will cover the technical details of the project, as well as the design process, challenges and successes. Suitable for those curious about hardware hacking or methods for sharing knowledge with the community. **Speakers** Peter is a secure software developer and vulnerability researcher for Break Point Research. Outside of work he enjoys making devices do things they shouldn’t and then never using them. Peter has previously worked as a vulnerability researcher at Azimuth Security, Penten and Australian Department of Defence. He has previously volunteered for the Bsides Canberra security conference and has developed badge firmware and hardware including the 2019 “Nopia 1337” and 2023 “bPod”. Claire is a cyber security consultant for Bluerydge and has presented on everything from threat hunting, vulnerability analysis and metaphors about prefetch forensics involving ducks. She is also the organiser of the Friday Ironing Club, a soldering group that runs workshops in Hawthorn ([https://www.instagram.com/fridayironingclub/](https://www.instagram.com/fridayironingclub/ "https://www.instagram.com/fridayironingclub/")). **Location** Room 080.02.002 at RMIT (Building 80) - 445 Swanston St, Melbourne **Discord** [Discord Invite](https://discord.gg/2qcaxce8Mw)

How is it that you can Help kids or yourself to become a better student!

Too many kids as well as teenagers and adults have problems with study. Today's meetup will inform you about the basics in STUDY TECHNOLOGY that provides an understanding of the basics of learning and supplies exact ways to overcome all the pitfalls one can encounter during study. This is applicable to young children, teenagers (or their parents that are trying to help them) and adults alike. Study Technology shows how one studies in order to comprehend a subject so one can apply it. Laws on which learning is based and workable methods have also been discovered for anyone to apply for themselves or when teaching others. Too many students graduate from school and college unable to put to use what they’ve learned in school. It’s not that they’re stupid or that their teachers didn’t know how to teach. More than likely it traces back to the one thing missing from most educations—learning how to learn in the first place. We all went to school, yet isn’t it odd that no one taught us how to study? The information presented at this meetup can help anyone improve others or his own ability to learn. It is a practical tool that parents and teachers alike can use to enhance a child's study performance. You’ll learn the barriers that lie between your own or a child's education. And you will very quickly learn how to overcome them. This technology will enable you or a child to pursue any subject with skill and confidence. Teachers who have "hard to handle/distributive " or slow learners in class will absolutely love the amazing turn around most often seen in improved behaviour and student performance in class. If you or your child has difficulties at school (or learning new things at work or online) than this meetup is important to you. If you can not make it to our meetup than contact the organizer and arrange it to suit your time. This technology can if one was to live far away be taught online. (extension course) You may offcourse also opt to have this technology taught to your own child by experienced volunteeer staff or learn about this yourself and transfer this knowledge to those you want to have better grades. Yes it is possible to improve anyone's study performance. All it takes is just 5 steps. See you at this meetup. Pam
