Hackaday editors Mike Szczys and Elliot Williams pull back the curtain on a week of excellent hacks. We saw an awesome use of RGB LEDs as a data channel on a drone, and the secrets of an IP camera’s OS laid bare with some neat reverse engineering tools. There’s an AI project for the Linux terminal that guesses at the commands you actually want to run. And after considering how far autopilot has come in the aerospace industry, we jump into a look at the gotchas you’ll find when working with models of 3D scanned objects.
Take a look at the links below if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!

On hearing Rizin and Cutter being mentioned I remembered a recent episode of the Unnamed Reverse Engineering podcast, that had on 2 members of the core dev team of these tools: https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/unnamed-reverse-engineering-podcast/id1271619982?l=en&i=1000509212376
