#saintcon — Public Fediverse posts

There's a brand new #SAINTCON minibadge wiki up now. https://minibadge.wiki/

Turns out that the answer is to either use the terminal block to bypass the current limiter OR short the pins of the current limiter to push up to 5A. The risk of doing so? If you have a short in a minibadge, you'll fry the board, the minibadge, and possibly other minibadges. #SAINTCON

Spent an hour fiddling with my 10x10 to try and keep total draw under 2A (the max) and I am struggling to go past 84 minibadges at a time. When full, I was hitting around 2.5A, well beyond the safe limit supported by the hardware. Maybe time for a power upgrade on the board design? #SAINTCON

Stage time! #SAINTCON

I had a fantastic time at #SAINTCon, thank you for having me, a great conference and community.

The vendor minibadges used to be ho-hum and skippable, and now they're top tier for both presentation and fun assembly. #SAINTCON

We are Bob. We are legion. #SAINTCON #TinFoilHatTalks

A much Utah minibadge. #SAINTCON

S-tier mini badges. #SAINTCON

Couldn't make it to #SAINTCON? Stream it live! Keynotes + track 2 talks. Other main track talks will get posted after the con. https://www.youtube.com/live/AhSSAO08pWE?si=kccSCO6OtDdwc7jd

#SAINTCON swag is priced at cost rounded up to the nearest $5. That's wild.

This year's #SAINTCON badge.

If you're going to #SAINTCON this week, track me down and say hi! And even if you're not, you'll be able to find me in the meeting rooms of the Hyatt Place Provo most evenings for Hack-in-the-Box.

Next week, I'm speaking at #Saintcon about #phishing, #smishing, #quishing (all the -ishings) and propose a broad-based possible solution that could end this problem forever. Nothing big.

If you're going to be there, you can find me in Track 2 at 2:30pm, or most of the rest of the time at the @SAINTCON @malwarevillage Community, where we will be hosting two of our contests (MARC I and BOMBE) and encouraging people to consider the field of malware analysis and threat research as a career.

We also will have minibadges, both at #MalwareVillage and at the #Netcraft booth. If you're a #minibadge fan/collector, you aren't going to want to miss out on the Netcraft minibadge, which is awesome. Just drop by the booth to get a kit to build one. Tell them Spike sent ya.

Until then, stay safe, and please tell everyone you know, don't click links to tax refunds or toll road fees you get on your phone.

It's not the prettiest job (running through the door panel was too much of a PITA for me), but I did manage to save myself a few hundred bucks installing a backup camera in my RAV4 using the soldering and electronics skills I learned at #SAINTCON.

Welpers, this happened. I haven't watched it yet. I'm scared. Banzai! Hallway Interview by Pope at @SAINTCON 2024. Cheers to Kampf for helping with this!

Hey #Badgelife creators, fans, or collectors. Read and boost this!

In January I will be in DC for some meetings. Because I will be there anyway, I reached out to some of the curators at the Smithsonian to ask them to meet. To my surprise, they accepted!

I want to bring them some awareness of the Badgelife community and projects, because I think Badgelife represents an incredible amount of creativity, innovation, and technological advancement, and it's happening right under everyone's noses!

So I'd like to ask: If you had an opportunity to share something about what Badgelife means to you, how it is advancing human ingenuity, or just what it means for creativity in the 21st century: What would you like me to share with the folks at the Smithsonian about Badgelife?

Share your pics. Share links to your projects. Share your stories of playing weird proximity games over NFC or wifi. Why do electronic badges make you happy? How do people use them to tell stories? Tag it #SmithsonianBadgelife so we can find it and collect it to hand over to them.

Please spread far and wide. I'd like to get as much community feedback as possible to share with them.

Thank you in advance.

For those who don't know (which is most of you), this project has been the intense focus of my work, taking up a huge amount of my time, energy, and investigative effort for the past 14 months - while still helping others at Sophos publish their research; running an election campaign where I was a candidate for school board; speaking at Blue Hat, @defcon #Saintcon, #VirusBulletin and other conferences; guest lecturing to classes at CU Boulder; volunteering my time canvassing for political candidates; serving as a docent at the @mediaarchaeologylab; working as a poll worker during the current US election cycle; and starting up the Elect More Hackers (electmorehackers.com) organization.

Whew. It's actually kind of daunting just to read that. I also sometimes sleep and eat.

@SophosXOps has been, at its core, an institution that values radical transparency, and this story (and the earlier research investigations into the Operation Pacific Rim threat actors and incidents) demonstrates Sophos' commitment to truth and journalistic integrity, following a story wherever it leads.

I hope our publication today starts a larger conversation and collaboration within the cybersecurity industry - inside and outside the Cyber Threat Alliance, which Sophos actively supports and where I am proud to represent my employer - to work together to thwart the ambitions of nation-state threat actors such as the perpetrators of Operation Pacific Rim, in order to protect the privacy and safety of everyone, everywhere.

Last Thursday I gave a talk at #Saintcon about how, for @SophosXOps, I uncovered a campaign to direct #infostealer #malware at hotel management staff, using some pretty outrageous social engineering. One of those stealers was the #Redline stealer.

It warms my cold, dead heart to read this morning that the Dutch police have seized and shut down the entire infrastructure for supporting Redline stealer and a related malware called #Meta stealer.

Didn't know that the #lockpickinglawyer gave a keynote at a computer security conference 2 years ago.

https://youtu.be/IH0GXWQDk0Q

Definitely worth watching if you're into lock picking or even like his videos! I also liked the differences and similarities he was telling between computer security and lock security.
