Credits: 5€ [Donate] Hello,
BTL Industries LTD created a device called BTL-785F which uses electric stimulation to destroy body fat. And it really works. A session costs crazy 8000Dollar because the machine forces you to use new pads (which are super expensive and only available from BTL) for every client. The machine verifies the new pads and also sends data to via GSM to BTL. Its a little bit like a printer only allowing genuine ink cartridges.
How could you hack this stupid machine and increase your profit?
Cheers!

can you provide what data is send? So recordings of it.
If you understand the data you can try replay attacks or reverse engineer what does what to generate a valid code or smth.
I cant say more cause of lack of info.
bye

Credits: 9.89€ [Donate] Hardware hacking is not a strong area of my current understanding.
If I was going to attempt that. I would try to look at the circuit board and look for any type of "JTAG" port. These are connection points on circuit boards used for interacting with the internal system. Without being semi-versed in hardware hacking, its going to be a difficult project. I think there is numerous write ups on hardware hacking routers and other networking equipment. My suggestion would be to research and learn the basics of hardware hacking, and go from there. My guess, is you will probably need to abuse whichever firmware update system the product has. Expect the firmware to be signed possibly, and the system verify that the signature matches. If that is the case, spend some time researching out to mitigate that.
If you want inspiration on hardware hacking from one of the best. Look up Joe Grant on YouTube I think is his name. He was an original member of l0ft and is an impressive hardware hacker. Another one of my favorite security researchers that does a lot of hardware related projects is Samy Kamkar.
