Hacked in translation: Giving an Abandoned IoT Device a New Life (WHY2025)

As everybody knows, "L" in IoT stands for long-term support. I'll take you on a tour of my technical adventure where I revived an abandoned IoT "AI" translator and gave it a new life, 2025-style. Through deciphering peculiar protocols and formats, reverse engineering firmware and software and doing the necessary research to write new software, we'll see how curiosity and persistence can help you overcome the most obscure technical challenges.
