Videah ☛ Attacking My Landlord's Boiler
This was the step I got stuck on for months. I was trying the "smart" route of attempting to reverse-engineer and reconstruct the packets by hand using URH and then broadcasting them with very cheap 868Mhz microcontroller boards.

The question didn't leave me, though, so after those months passed, I did the second thing any self-respecting nerd would do: benchmarks.
