In this talk, Pedro will present some of his previous research, ranging from data exfiltration to IoT, from Android apps to back-end servers, exploring the barrier between the enthusiasm of the findings and the external perception of the results. He will talk about research results and their implications, explain the vulnerabilities themselves, the intellectual challenges, research process, bounties, rewards and media exposure. We all have pet bugs, interesting back stories and usually a slightly different view of our findings than the rest of the world. More often than not, we can only find true understanding amongst our fellow peers.
