Locks in Newag trains - from DRM to lawsuits
14:30 - 15:10, 27th of May (Tuesday) 2025 / DEV TRENDS STAGE
This talk will tell the story of finding malicious software installed in Newag trains, which locked up the trains after detecting third-party servicing. We analyzed the software, found a secret unlocking button combination, unlocked the trains... and then got sued.
The unlocking story is already known quite well, so the talk will also include an update on the current legal proceedings.
The talk won't require deep technical knowledge from the audience.
