Bikes & Bits: Reverse Engineering Bike Computers

About this talk

ike computers are smart devices mounted to handlebars that record rides a cyclist goes on with GPS and sensor data, then uploads it to a backend cloud for users to view and share. In the pursuit of modifying my own to add new functionality, I discovered a fleet wide issue that effectively turns each device into a beacon shouting out a riders personal info and credentials at all times while in range. This talk covers the full discovery process of the exploit and shines a lite on why security matters in all industries.
