Reverse Engineering and Dismantling Kekz Headphones

Reverse Engineering and Dismantling Kekz Headphones.

I was intrigued, because there were some speculations going around, how they operate with those “Kekz”-Chips.
I invite you to join me on a journey into the inner workings of those headphones. We will talk about accessing the encrypted files on the device, breaking the crypto and discovering disclosure of data from customers.
