Pwning Automotive and IoT eco-systems

Hello All.! I am Veerababu, better known as Mr-IoT, and the founder of the iotsrg.org community. My passion lies in transforming IoT security knowledge into open-source resources. Over the years, I have worked on developing ICE-Bite hardware microprobing, an IoT pentesting OS, curated lists, and insightful blogs, all aimed at advancing the field of IoT security since 2017. As a keynote speaker at BSides Dehradun, I have also had the privilege of delivering workshops, training sessions, and villages at events like c0c0n, BSides Bangalore, VulnCon, CracCon, and the Null/OWASP Bangalore communities. I have nurtured and grown the iotsrg.org community across platforms such as Reddit, Telegram, and Discord, creating a vibrant and engaging space for sharing knowledge and fostering innovation in IoT security.

I'm Nithin Ellanki, Chief Engineer at Vanguard. I write about the big shifts happening in AI, but I skip the benchmark recaps everyone else is doing. What interests me more is a simpler question: as the specs move this fast, where do the rest of us actually fit?My take is that staying relevant right now has less to do with out-coding a machine and more to do with knowing why you're doing the work in the first place. Judgment. Ethics. The oversight that's hard to hand off to a model. That's what I talk about: how we keep adapting as these systems get more autonomous, without losing the human decisions at the center of it.
