Hak5 – Internet Enabled Garage Door Opener Mod
This week we’re breaking out the breadboard for an oldschool Hak5 mod — the Internet enabled garage door opener. Because when it comes to garage entry, what could be easier than writing an Android app to access a home Apache server, hitting a PHP script that interfaces with a USB Teensy over serial, activating relays connected to a remote. Duh.

HAH “If we’re stuck out here because of a semicolon, I swear..!”
im using google chrome how can i do it? will it be the same method? i tired to put the web on my bookmark and opend different website E.g facebook, i put my master passwords but i cant get the supergenpass working when i click it – it’s back to the website when i click it
Oh my gosh! That supergenpass thing is like so cool! I just started using it, but I will keep using KeePass with it for safety.
@carnagerpm read comments? never!

@KrochaDavid
yeah! exactly!
serial communication can be done with only few lines of C code in linux.
you don’t need PHP or Java or some simplifying classes for it.
it’s already simple.
opening tcp connection for listening and parsing “get” request is not a big deal too.
