Metz Open Source
As of today, Metz doesn’t publish open source code on its company website, but you may ask their customer support and they’ll send you a CD-ROM. I received a disc containing source code for Chassis 610/611/612 LCD-TV models.

Netgear WGT634U
Netgear produced a wireless LAN router, which besides of its bad routing performance is quite a nice piece of hardware. If you want it to load a Linux Kernel via TFTP, you will have to modify its NVRAM settings. I wrote some small helper tools which can be used for that.

Bluetooth weaknesses in mobile phones
Once I met Collin R. Mulliner at the university, he told me he was having fun exploring weak bluetooth stacks. I liked the idea, and some days later I bought a bluetooth dongle. It was quite a surprise to me that my phone, a Nokia 6310i, silently accepted AT modem commands on some RFCOMM channels without pairing. Later I discovered that some Ericsson phones had the same kind of vulnerability. This is the C code which I wrote while learning how to use the bluez stack and how to get data from a phone using AT commands.

I2C monitoring
If you write software for a badly documented or undocumented device, then it is sometimes easier to just sniff some bytes of data sent by the original software instead of using a disassembler. Milk is a great software which can be used to capture I2C traffic. To make its output more verbose I modified it to include register names where available and to calculate some stuff for the devices used in the Nokia dbox2.
