This Security Ledger podcast episode features Trammell Hudson of Lower Layer Labs and covers Project Airbreak, his work reverse-engineering and modifying the firmware of ResMed Airsense 10 CPAP machines to enable them to function as makeshift respirators during the COVID-19 equipment shortage; the piece frames the effort as security/firmware research and a practical emergency engineering response rather than a cybersecurity incident.
