Student Jailbreaks Microsoft Band 1

A student in NYU OSIRIS security lab, who is only known for now as b0n0n was given a Microsoft Band (version 1) for a school project that involved figuring out how the Band client software communicated. But, just like the plot for a teen action movie, the assignment turned out to be too easy so b0n0n turned to hacking. What ensued was a full understanding of how to manipulate the Band 1 data.

This semester I got a Microsoft fitness band for a project. The original goal was not hard: understand the client communication. So I decided to pwn it for fun. Thanks to my friends in OSIRIS lab who supported me a lot, thank you mates. And also my mentor, mongo, inspired me so much and taught me a lot, thanks man!
