| Thunderstrike is a proof-of-concept EFI firmware rootkit for Apple's MacBooks that I wrote while researching boot-time security on these popular laptops. First announced at 31C3 in Hamburg, partially fixed by Apple in Yosemite 10.10.2. I collaborated with Xeno Kovah and Corey Kallenberg on Thunderstrike 2, a software-only extension to the original vulnerability, that was presented at Blackhat / DEFCON 2015. | I reverse engineered the firmware in the Canon 5D Mark II and started the Magic Lantern project that is now an open system for writing extensions that run inside Canon's DSLR and mirrorless cameras. |

| I've extended MAME to work with vector displays and presented vector retrogaming at 32nd Chaos Communication Congress. This can also be used to make replica arcade cabinets using vector displays like the Vectrex. | I designed the LEDscape "cape" for the BeagleBone Black's programmable realtime unit (PRU) for driving RGB LED strips or matrices. I've used it in several LED art pieces, Cubescroller, Octoscroller and the Mini Pyramid, and other people have used it in many of their own art projects. |
