DEF CON 34’s theme is ‘Agency’. We’re focusing on self-determination in our use of tech. Charting our own course and helping others do the same.

Let’s start moving our valuable attention to tech that supports our agency. Let’s find the places we can help and choose to act.

Threat actors are exploiting a post-authentication remote command injection vulnerability in Four-Faith routers tracked as CVE-2024-12856 to open reverse shells back to the attackers.

The American #FCC is accepting public comment on a proposal that would license the 902-928 MHz band to a private company (NextNav Inc) for use in terrestrial location tracking as a commercial alternative to free #GPS, GLONASS, & Galileo satellite positioning systems. The company already operates in the 920-928 MHz band.

This will significantly interfere with #LoRaWAN IOT devices and could have dire consequences for #decentralized communication networks such as #Meshtastic.

NextNav intends to deprive the public of these unlicensed frequencies and build a nationwide monopoly on PNT infrastructure in the 902-928 MHz band. (https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/10416238018537/1)

This is not only harmful to the #opensource and #openhardware community, it is a gross misappropriation of the public's precious radio frequencies to further the goals of a monopolistic for-profit corporation.
