This year at @defcon @SecureAerospace and @LockheedMartin has brought a really cool contest and badge again. This time the skunk works SR71. One of the coolest planes to ever fly. What’s next year, the U2?

Ok @UPS how do you manage to lose something this heavy and large with 3 copies of the label and an AirTag inside in under 24 hours?

I am incredibly stoked and honored to announce that my talk "Render Safe: Reverse Engineering and Exploiting an EOD Robot" blackhat.com/us-26/briefings… was accepted for Black Hat USA 2026. I will be presenting the material alongside @astradotpng in August. I will bring (hopefully) working robots with me on stage. We will also have the robots at the @CarHackVillage during DEF CON for a really challenging and fun contest with a grand prize, more details to follow.

I recently read the book Skunk Works by Ben Rich. It’s about the organization that created the SR-71, U-2 and F-117, great read. The @SecureAerospace has staff from @LockheedMartin, the same company. They are running a CTF where you can win the coolest badge shaped like an F-35.

Really @HelloFresh? Trying to give your customers food poisoning? I could tell the protein packages were leaking from outside the box.

My workshop is on this list, Sunday morning after the parties sounds like a fun time to be messing around with soldering irons and hot air!

I would have been in so much trouble. Those logic analyzers and usb to uart adapters are deadly weapons.

The villages are one of the things that make Defcon great. Shout out to the @SecureAerospace village for letting me show off my avionics kit and for hosting the crew that made the darkstar badge, one of the coolest ones at the conference.

I created defrom.lol/ which make's it easier for #DEFCON32 attendees to flash their badge with custom GB ROMs, as well as provide a way to revert to original firmware. We also have a patched copy of the DEF CON game that is 100% completed with some fun cheats.
DEFCON 32 badge is pretty cool!

A couple of years back I decided to create a tool to make it easier to connect to embedded hardware. Next week I get to talk about it at three security conferences in Las Vegas. The tool was published as open-source on Google's github at github.com/google/serberus.
