[HH] Boston Perl Mongers talk tonight (7/9): Hacking SD cards with Perl

[Tom Metro]

Of interest to the group...


Tuesday June 9th, 2015 7:30-9:30pm @ MIT E51-376

Federico Lucifredi resumes his hardware and Perl

A few years ago it was discovered that common SD memory cards contain a
micro controller that can be reprogrammed. In this talk Federico hacks
"some hardware to see if we can get to the CPU on an SD card. Any
automation in Perl, of course :)"
