Security Engineer by day, maker by night, husband every day. I dabble in LEDs and 3D Printing when I have "free time". I work for #Mapbox but my thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks for the #memories @defcon.bsky.social!!

#DEFCON33 #DC33 #SneakyBadge # irateSoftware
An overhead shot of a custom electronic badge with glowing green letter tiles spelling out "GOODBYE DEF CON" across the top and bottom. In the center, a small screen also displays "GOODBYE DEF CON". To the left, another smaller badge shows "irate Software" and a red digital readout of "46.6" with "Ego Meter" and "Ban Counter" labels. Various electronic components and circuit board traces are visible, along with a metallic, multi-layered "HUMAN" DEF CON badge on the right.

And with that, another #DEFC0N is in the past! This is always so much fun!

Goodbye #DEFCON32

Getting to meet @thedarktangent.bsky.social in person was definitely a highlight of #DEFCON33!

Thank you for being nice enough to take a quick selfie with me!

Can't wait for the #RoadToDEFCON34
A selfie shows two smiling men at what appears to be a conference. The man on the left has a beard, wears glasses, and a gray t-shirt with an orange design. He has several lanyards around his neck. The man on the right also wears glasses and a black t-shirt with a green and black graphic design. He has a red "GOON" badge hanging from a black lanyard around his neck. Both men are looking at the camera. The background is slightly blurred but suggests a large indoor space with other people.

If anyone happens to find this Keyport knife and flashlight combo, that also has an attached black paracord with a black DC32 bead, I would really love to get it back! If you turn it into the @keyport.me booth in the #DEFCON vendor area, there will be a #reward in store!

Show of hands! How many people have had to do a hack like this to keep their mini fridge working right? #toodamnhot #vegas
The door to a cabinet the mini fridge is stored in, using a bag shoved in the corner to keep it from closing all the way.

If you own a #YubiKey and a #Keyport Pivot!, then you need a YubiKey Extender! It's a game changer, makes it so much easier to use the Yubikey, no matter where it is in your pivot!

If you dont see that this "12 hour outage" was a manipulative attempt at trying to pump #Trump with #zillenials, then you are blind. It was a power grab, plain and simple.
