It's not difficult, but it is fiddly especially when you end up with the same devices in HA as Alexa can natively talk to then you see dupes or you get to HomeKit and there's a zillion devices in there when you really only want a couple of lights. The thing is though, you need to be ready to get your hands really dirty: Is phoscon running in a docker container? I have little temperature sensors in each room and each one of those devices can measure humidity, pressure, temperature and has a battery state: Yet another device I now have all over the house is an IoT relay called a Shelly, two of which you can see in the tweet below (they're the little blue units amongst all the wires): This is fine... pic.twitter.com/6Q6AxLfyVv. Take this as an example: Stuck inside and not allowed out? Take a look at the hero image at the top of this blog post. This is where we get to "scenes" which allow you to define multiple pre-set states that can all be switched on in one go. These are the units, got a heap of them in the kids' rooms and they already integrate with Alexa and Google Assistant: https://t.co/xJKdtzJKED. Read more about why I chose to use Ghost. Some wanted me to permanently relocate overseas. It's surfaced in HomeKit via the HomeKit Bridge integration in HA so I go into that device and the entity is disabled. I love my life of independence and whilst I was prepared to work for a company again, it had to be the right company and this just felt... wrong. This just isn't the sort of stuff you document in a pet project so everything had to be done from scratch. To do that we need to surface data from HA into Alexa which can be done with the Amazon Alexa integration. Never before have I headed down a technology path that, frankly, is such a fragmented mess. This does, however, create other problems especially when it comes to troubleshooting. Now firstly, the Nerf gun wall is freakin' epic! It might need a tidy up in HA config files if it gets orphaned. The site is called haveibeenpwned.com and was created by Australian software architect Troy Hunt. What’s this library do? With the benefit of hindsight, this was a naïve question: Alright clever IoT folks, I've got two of these garage door openers, what do you reckon the best way of connecting them with Apple HomeKit is? Nothing? Enter your email address, and the site will let you know if … I'm Troy Hunt, an Australian Microsoft Regional Director and [Most Valuable Professional] (https://mvp.microsoft.com/en- us/overview.aspx). Among literally thousands of other requests (seriously - the total number was four figures), I was asked for: I copied and pasted that last point verbatim - can you imagine how much information needs to go into a response to a question like that?! Troy Hunt is an Australian web security expert known for public education and outreach on security topics. Collectively, we agreed to put pens down. But then it was also an exciting time where I'd walk into a meeting with a company and they'd be so enthusiastic to meet me in person after following me for years so we'd do selfies, hand out HIBP stickers and then settle into serious business discussions. One of the things I'm really excited about is a concept I've had bubbling away in the back of my mind for a couple of years now about how the industry as a whole can better tackle the flood of data breaches we're seeing. Follow their code on GitHub. pic.twitter.com/243oK9N5Yp, Hi, I'm Troy Hunt, I write this blog, create courses for Pluralsight and am a Microsoft Regional Director and MVP who travels the world speaking at events and training technology professionals, Hi, I'm Troy Hunt, I write this blog, run "Have I Been Pwned" and am a Microsoft Regional Director and MVP who travels the world speaking at events and training technology professionals. I was still determined to see the process through, but I gained a greater appreciation for just how important it was to find the right organisation. He created Have I Been Pwned?, a data breach search website that allows non-technical users to see if their personal information has been compromised. Consequently, I could pair that Grid Connect light strip with the Tuya app which... then says Arlec! I'm also the creator of the Have I Been Pwned? Troy Hunt is a Microsoft Regional Director and MVP for Developer Security. Get rid of it! It'll also allow me to work towards no longer being the single point of failure; there has to be a contingency plan for if I get taken down in a freak drop bear accident. We whittled the original 141 companies down to the 43 that were best aligned to the goals I outlined in the original blog post. (The total number of organisations under consideration was actually significantly higher than that, but we culled all those we didn't consider "Tier 1" or in other words, highly likely to be a good fit for HIBP.) to customers to noteworthy events since conception to a slide on "Industry Tailwinds" talking about how big cyber is becoming (that hurt a little bit to put my name on, so much cyber...). I need some time to write more code and more blog posts, two things that remain my passion but had to take a back seat during this process. More from the … Later on, I bought a heap of RGB downlights from Oz Smart Things: Turns out these are also Tuya compatible so now, without directly buying a single Tuya product, I have a lot of products running in the Tuya app: What that means is that it's dead easy to control things such as the colour and the brightness: Now, let's bring it back to HA for a moment and the value proposition here is that per Chris' earlier tweet, there's an integration that can bring these devices right into the same environment all my other IoT things are now in: Ok, so far so good, now let's get to the twists in all this starting with how the same device looks in HA: That looks fine now, but when I first added the downlights, I had no colour control. Troy Hunt - Professional Profile - Free source code and tutorials for Software developers and Architects. I'm not going to go anywhere near the YAML involved in this blog series, let's instead focus on the logic: But that automation just turns on a single light, what if I wanted to turn on more lights? He made the following comment about trust: This is what the organisations bidding on HIBP were buying: trust in me. On the M&A front, I had to learn about normalised EBITDA, revenue multiples and ARR. The motives were right in that it was first and foremost for the sustainability of the project so I wasn't concerned about that, but was selling HIBP genuinely the best path forward? "Exhaustive" doesn't even begin to explain the effort that went into the Project Svalbard IM. That felt weird in a way I've never experienced before, certainly not like in times gone by where I'd interviewed for jobs. Thank you for reading this far, thank you for supporting both HIBP and myself, I'm off to have that board meeting ðââï¸, Thereâs no place like home â¤ï¸ ?? Every time I thought I had an answer, it raised 2 more questions. These motion sensor devices each have 3 different entities: This nomenclature threw me a bit at first but it makes sense: one physical device you can hold in your hand may measure many different things and each one of those things is considered to be an entity (entities aren't just about measurement but let's use that as a simplistic example for the moment). Or if I'm in my car with Apple CarPlay I can issue the same command without even taking my hands off the wheel. Troy Hunt was analyzing data breaches for trends and patterns back in 2013 when he first came up with the idea for ... finding other people that can help sustain the project. At one stage, I sat between lawyers arguing backwards and forwards as to whether or not I was a sophisticated investor up to speed with American Securities and Exchange Commission law and if I wasn't, "the deal's off". I need some time where I’m not waking up dreading how much work will have landed in my inbox overnight. To be able to continue running HIBP and shepherding it forward remains the dream, regardless of who owns it. Was this the future I wanted? HTTPS is now free, easy and increasingly ubiquitous. He has also authored several popular security-related courses on Pluralsight, and regularly presents keynotes and workshops on security topics. There are solutions to these problems, however, it just requires a little patience and a lot of tweaking. But I'm also sad that a company might take over the project and not be as noble as Troy Hunt is with the data, and the freemium model (if you can even call it that). I was really conscious that the companies weren't bidding for HIBP, they were bidding for me running HIBP so a significant part of the purchase price was quite literally a dollar figure on my head. Following a failed acquisition process, Troy Hunt, the man behind the project, has decided to open-source the Have I Been Pwned code base to help it last. Since 2013, developer Troy Hunt has been offering an invaluable online security tool called Have I Been Pwned. I captured this tweet and dropped it into the draft blog post as I was lamenting just how damn hard it was to make simple things work the way I wanted them to. Just one of those moving parts stops and not only does it kill a part of your internet of things, but there's a good chance you'll be in for a lengthy troubleshooting session. The platform was developed by Australian cyber security expert Troy Hunt, who made headlines in SA in 2017 after he unearthed the country’s biggest data breach which exposed the … Or play music? If you're going to do IoT in any meaningful way, you start with HA. And so in September, we granted exclusivity to a bidder. And this wasn't a typo on the Grid Connect website: It's not just the big players either; you'll find all sorts of lesser-known brands wanting to be the hub of your IoT world. Here's why: Earlier on, I lamented that everyone wants to be the hub of your IoT world and that fortunately, HA can play that role in the place of one of the large incumbent tech companies. In other words, share generously but provide attribution. I fired that tweet off whilst loading the Wattpad breach without giving it much thought, but based on the likes it received, it seems to have resonated. in the Infosecurity Hall of Fame. I'm detailing all of this here to help explain what I need to do next... To be honest, I need some time to recover. Anyone know what's involved in making Grid Connect lights play nice with @home_assistant? Over and over again, we'd go to these meetings and sit across the table from characters that could have come straight out of the show. The non-binding bids were the first time we started to get a true sense of how the various organisations valued the service. That is all. Citing overwhelming demands on his time, Troy Hunt … Mostly. And so began the extensive due diligence. I had that recently when I drove a friend's Tesla Model X and the indicator stalk felt just like the one in my Mercedes. Get yourself a Raspberry Pi, install HA and add integrations for your existing devices, surface through your platforms of choice and you're off and running. I spoke at CERN. Or flash them with different firmware - Tasmota and ESPHome are the main options. Finally, a full 123 days later, I managed to open my garage door with an app: Smashing it today! I had a seminal moment just after all the San Francisco meetings as I was making my way over to the Black Hat and Defcon conferences in Vegas. The deCONZ integration enables communication with Zigbee devices (more on that in part 2) and per the screen cap above, I presently have 35 of those in my house. I need more support, for one. Introduction Hi, my name's Troy Hunt and welcome to my course on Web Security and the OWASP Top 10: The Big Picture. Opinions expressed here are my own and may not reflect those of people I work with, my mates, my wife, the kids etc. Security researcher Troy Hunt takes the project to the #opensource community after his bid to sell the platform was unsuccessful. KPMG had warned me about this phase right at the beginning of the process and from memory, the word they used was something akin to "onerous". When I'm explaining this to people, I put it like this: For example, just to jump straight to the conclusion for a moment, I now have a bunch of little motion sensors around the house that can turn lights on: Now entering the next phase of my IoT buildout with Xiaomi Aqara motion sensors spread around the house to trigger lights on or off based on movement. I can't remember exactly how I answered the question, but I can remember how it made me feel and it was pretty damn uncomfortable. Oh - but it's not self-configurable and you need a licensed installer to set it all up for you ♂️. One day I'd really like to turn this whole experience into a conference talk because it's a fascinating story, but for now I want to try and give a sense of just how intense the last 11 months has been, starting with the heading above. But I don't want to get anywhere near that level of detail in this blog series as it'll just scare people off, let me instead focus on the basics and provide enough background to get people heading in the right direction, starting with the fundamental principles of what makes HA great. Unless I'm quoting someone, they're just my own views. Starting i… So, I'll finish this blog post on the same note I finished the last Project Svalbard one: And so it remains today and for the foreseeable future, with HIBP as an independently operating service designed to do good after bad things happen. Some companies wanted me to perform roles I wasn't comfortable with. It was a company I respected and one I had confidence would help me take HIBP in the right direction. Nice Nerf gun wall representing Ari's room as HomeKit sees it on my iPad, except... his desk power is showing "No Response". That last point is critical - it was repeated over and over again by every single organisation we discussed it with that a sale of HIBP was also a sale of me for many years to come. troyhunt has 16 repositories available. That might sound a bit selfish on the face of it, but as I'd soon learn this can be a very laborious, drawn out and expensive process. Then I got to Vegas. I'm not even going to get into the mechanics of that here because that's not really the point of this series, rather I want to highlight how I kept running into "compatible but not completely compatible" scenarios like this. On a more personal note, I joined the likes of Bruce Schneier, Eugene Kaspersky and Alan Turing (Alan Turing!!) But no, every one of those answers is wrong because every single one is a proprietary ecosystem with fragmented support by different devices and a kludge of vendor lock-in. ? I hope I was a bit more articulate than Richard, but I was someone fronting up and presenting my pride and joy to strangers who I hoped would share the same enthusiasm for it that I did. It's non-trivial for many, many reasons, but it's also important and HIBP has a role to play in the solution. Looking back through the IM now, it had everything from traffic stats to revenue to assets to debts (none!) The last "job" I had I absolutely hated by the end of it. My boss was an arsehole (there was broad consensus on that noun), but I stuck it out and dealt with it until circumstances were such that there was a better path forward; ultimately, a redundancy with a nice payout (I cover this in my Hack Your Career talk). But there was another option: These are based on an off the shelf Tuya ESP8266 module. This grants them a window of time in which they can do extensive due diligence to the exclusion of all other bidders. I would be an employee. I floated this idea past each of the companies I met with during Project Svalbard and the support for it was overwhelming, even from those organisations that knew very early on they wouldn't be bidding. Those in an Android world might reasonably assume that Google Home would be their hub. HA, on the other hand, doesn't care who made what or which devices you have or whose clouds you're on, it just wants to tie it all together in a meaningful way. Besides, as this exercise had already demonstrated, there are absolutely no guarantees in this process and going back to square one could very easily result in many more months of effort and no outcome to show for it. I often run private workshops around these, here's upcoming events I'll be at: Don't have Pluralsight already? (Note: there is also Homebridge which is a different beast altogether.) He also is the creator of ASafaWeb, a tool that performs automated security analysis on ASP.NETwebsites. one of the top open source projects on GitHub, Tuya had killed colour control for a whole bunch of other people too, the hero image at the top of this blog post, Data breach disclosure 101: How to succeed after you've failed, Data from connected CloudPets teddy bears leaked and ransomed, exposing kids' voice messages, When a nation is hacked: Understanding the ginormous Philippines data breach, How I optimised my life to make my job redundant, OWASP Top 10 Web Application Security Risks for ASP.NET, What Every Developer Must Know About HTTPS, Hack Yourself First: How to go on the Cyber-Offense, Modernizing Your Websites with Azure Platform as a Service, Web Security and the OWASP Top 10: The Big Picture, Ethical Hacking: Hacking Web Applications, Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, The amount of light they can currently see, Whether or not there's currently motion detected, If motion is detected at the bottom, middle or top of the stairs and the light level down the bottom is beneath 200 lumens, turn the Shelly on the light switch on, If all 3 motion sensors haven't detected any motion for the last 5 minutes, turn the Shelly on the light switch off. For example, both my kids have an Amazon Echo Dot in their room. What I was being asked for during this extensive due diligence phase wasn't coming from the folks I'd initially spoken with in the lead up to their non-binding bid, rather from the leagues of business development and legal folks behind them that needed to get involved in this process. That'll get you access to thousands of courses amongst which are dozens of my own including: Hey, just quickly confirm you're not a robot: Got it! I added to this blog post as I progressed with a view to ultimately having a "happy path" for others to follow in the future. Another area I expect to focus on a lot more is to leverage the more formal relationships I established during the process with governments, regulators and law enforcement. Many of them felt wrong. Power and brightness, yes, but no colour. Either way, this email was going in there to reinforce how important the trust of those who use HIBP is to me. Enroll for free Read more about why I chose to use Ghost. The learning curve is steep, it has a bunch of rough edges (it's still not reached a v1 as of the time of writing), you end up living in YAML and by any reasonable measure, it's only usable by geeks who are happy living in a world unfamiliar to most mere mortals. We can now surface all the same devices into Apple's ecosystem: Remember, that Nerf gun wall is running the Arlec LED strips that use Grid Connect surfaced through the Tuya app which all has no support for HomeKit yet here we are with control in HomeKit . This site runs entirely on Ghost and is made possible thanks to their kind support. How about a 10 day free trial? Troy Hunt, HIBP and Project Svalbard. During this whole exercise, I decided I needed to replace the receiver in my home entertainment setup as it wasn't powerful enough to drive the speakers I have. After 11 months of a very intensive process culminating in many months of exclusivity with a party I believed would ultimately be the purchaser of the service, unexpected changes to their business model made the deal infeasible. What I will say is that it was a company that met all my criteria both as outlined in the original Project Svalbard post and so far in this one. Moving on, each Shelly has a single entity which is simply a power switch: So, now we have all the mechanics required to tie together automations and as you can see in the screen cap above (and in the earlier one that shows the stairs motion sensor), I have 2 automations using these devices. Problem is, it's one thing to get hit with those questions when you're part of a team of people, but it's a whole different thing when you're one bloke on his own. Unless I'm quoting someone, they're just my own views. Here's a page from it that was intended to pimp my own personal credentials: This was another really unexpected part of the experience - how people perceived me personally and put a value on my brand. Tuya is "the World's Leading IoT platform" (yay, another platform ♂️) and per the above tweet, they ship products that run a ESP8266 chip which is a pretty common piece of kit. I snapped this pic to remind me how much energy I was pouring into the project when I came out the other side, whatever the outcome may be. I left Vegas feeling like HIBP was much bigger than just me. In one way, it doesn't matter because the state is reflected the same in both (i.e. Let me just cut straight to it: I'm going to open source the Have I Been Pwned code base. But it's also slightly disingenuous because whilst on the surface it may look like yet another solution to the same problem, it's philosophically different in several key ways: The Apple / Google / Amazon solutions are all proprietary and tied very closely to the respective tech behemoths' commercial offerings. I put these in there in part because they're fun learning devices they can easily ask questions of (they can also ask "Alexa, who's Troy Hunt" and get an answer or, as I learned last night with my daughter, they can ask "Alexa, is Troy Hunt handsome" and get a resounding "He is handsome" ), and in part to control their IoT-enabled devices.
