[Hrgeeks] Who's going to HOPE? Heads up, Badges

[telmnstr at 757.org]

Not sure who's planning to go to HOPE.

We will be doing the video network, once again. Probably the biggest one ever, 
need 5-6 playback endpoints and two encoding rigs.

I was listening to OffTheHook on the way back from DC on Friday. They were 
talking to Travis Goodspeed who is behind the badge this year. Once again it 
will be a "RFID" type tracking device. He has released GoodFET, some sort of 
firmware for turning the badge into a raw packet monitor. Also, the badges are 
reprogrammable so we could do some hacking.

The badges are based on the TI MSP430:

So get your compilers ready!

Also the sourcecode for the badge is already available:
