DC256 presents Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Hacking Workshop with Matthew McDougal
2025-11-21 18:00 - 20:00 | Gigaparts, Address 6123 University Drive, Huntsville, 35806, United States
DC256 is proud to host Matthew McDougal AKA Doogie presenting BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY HACKING WORKSHOP. The event is being sponsored by the North Alabama Chapter of ISSA (NAC-ISSA).

Ever wonder how your fitness tracker, smart bulb, or IoT device talks to your phone? Ever want to see if you could hack into it? Join us for a fun, beginner-friendly workshop on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). We’ll break down how BLE devices connect & communicate. You’ll learn to use free tools to interact with devices, spot common security flaws, and explore how hackers might exploit them. No experience needed, just curiosity!

After the presentation, test your skills in a CTF-style challenge where you’ll hack simulated BLE devices. Bring an Android or iOS device with the LightBlue app installed, and we’ll provide the targets. By the end, you’ll have a new perspective on how BLE works—and maybe even hack your first device! We will be providing hardware to hack on so just bring your phone and laptop!

Be sure to join us at Gigaparts on Hwy72/University Drive. This is a free cyber community event with food provided. For more information, find DC256 on Discord or visit dc256.org.
