I’ve been accepted to speak at @defcon 31! I have a very unique presentation planned for you all:

“Retro Exploitation: Using Vintage
Computing Plaforms as a Vulnerability Research Playground and Learning
Environments”

…We’ll be having some good fun looking at using vintage platforms (such as the 68000 Commodore Amiga) to teach and learn vulnerability analysis. Also applying these techniques to exploring historic software.

I will be dropping 0day (in 30 year old software 😂)

This is in addition to the Ghidra RE workshop I’m teaching at DEF CON (to which I may add a module related to this talk for those of you that attend both)

#DEFCON #DEFCON31

I was just notified that my @defcon workshop, “The Joy of Reverse Engineering: Learning With Ghidra and WinDbg", has been accepted for this year.

I'm really looking forward to meeting and teaching another group of y'all! I'll update with information on registering, etc. soon.

Growing up, I went from the C64 to PC. I was super into Commodore, and was aware of the Amiga, but never had one. Lately I’ve been reading some Amiga stuff and I’m fascinated.

They’re also complex with the expansions, mods, successors, etc. I’d like to put together a high end Amiga kit, but for price/complexity I’ll probably start with an emulation setup. Interested in creating reverse engineering/low level tinkering content.

Any Amiga enthusiasts follow me? Fond memories? Current rigs?
