SEC-T 2025 Workshop: Build Your Own Meshtastic Node: Off-Grid, Encrypted LoRa Meshnets for Beginners! [WEDNESDAY 10th 12:45 - 14:30]

Beginners can now create off-grid, encrypted mesh networks for cheap, with applications in emergency communication, sensor monitoring, and more! These mesh networks have been popping up in cities all over the world, and this class will go over everything a beginner needs to run or build their own nodes. 

This class will serve as a beginner user's guide to Meshtastic, covering everything from hardware basics, to soldering and configuring our own nodes. We will use our custom, cat-themed Meshtastic nodes to see real world results and explore attacks against mesh networks. 

Attendees will learn to solder and set up their own Meshtastic nodes, no prior soldering experience required!

This workshop is free to attend and open for non-ticket holders as well, but hardware is needed and may be purchased on site ($120)
