Founder and principal security researcher of a newly launched firm called Red Mesa, Drew Porter has his eye on the future of home crime. Porter imagines a world where pocket-size devices can turn of entire smart homes, reducing them to useless "bricks" of dead electronics. Alarmingly, Porter has successfully implemented just such a device—a $400 radio transmitter that can shut down tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of networked home devices—and he spoke to Dwell about the frightening implications.
