Security and Development Hackathon

Riscure, Thoughtworks and EFF are organizing a twin track, full day hackathon for the openwireless router on April 18, 2015 at Riscure's San Francisco office. The event is being sponsored by the Prpl Foundation, who are supporting OpenWRT developers through the prplwrt project. Participation in the hackathon is expected from OpenWRT core developers, Qualcomm security team and Prpl Foundation in addition to employees of Riscure, Thoughtworks and EFF.

TRACK ONE, the security track, is focused on hardening the routers by reviewing the code and conducting vulnerability tests directly on routers that will be available to participants. The planning for this track is lead by Riscure. The outline for this track is provided below:

  • Threat modeling for openwireless.
  • Introduction to relevant tools and techniques provided for beginners. Tools TBD but possibilities include traffic sniffing, packet injection, fuzzing, static analysis, writing exploit code, etc.
  • Source code analysis targeting web ui and platform.
  • Penetration testing against several routers:
    • attack from WAN
    • attack from WIFI
    • possible attack from LAN too

TRACK TWO, the development track, is focused on bringing new developers on board, by having them take on items listed as up-for-grabs for the beta milestone. More experienced developers can take on other items listed for the beta milestone. The planning for this track is lead by Thoughtworks. The outline for this track is provided below:
