Defcon may be cancelled, but badgelife isn’t! We’re back with another awesome electronic badge! This year we teamed up with the Car Hacking Village<\/a> to bring you something special. The badge features automotive ethernet, a retro theme, and lots of LEDs! Click here to order<\/a> or keep reading to learn more about this awesome badge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is automotive ethernet? It’s just like normal ethernet, but it runs over a single twisted pair instead of four. It’s also limited to ~15 meters, which is more than enough for a vehicle. It’s used for connecting things like cameras, LIDAR, and other high-bandwidth sensors inside a vehicle, as well as diagnostics and firmware updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The badge features TWO automotive ethernet converters, allowing you to connect these automotive ethernet devices to a normal computer network for hacking<\/s> “diagnostics”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automotive ethernet doesn’t have a standard connector, so we put a tool-less terminal block on the board. This way you can connect to any twisted wire pair easily. There are also two RJ45* jacks to connect to your computer\/switch\/etc. The badge acts as a transparent media converter between the two network types.
*I know it’s actually 8P8C<\/em>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know everyone loves blinky lights, so we put LEDs all over this badge to make it really stand out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
