DEF CON 32 Badges! I can finally spill the secrets!
The badge is built using the brand new (released this morning!) Raspberry Pi RP2350.
It is, of course, a cat. But flip it upside down and you can play the DEF CON game we built with GB Studio, running on a custom Gameboy emulator on custom hardware, snug inside an ABS injection molded case. Shouts to the Catball team and pals! Bonnie Finley, Nutmeg Anne, Will Tuttle, Dmitry GR, Chris Matlby, Joe Grand, Legion303, Jason Scott, Raspberry Pi & their production partners
More info on my blog and in my talk tomorrow at con!

DEF CON 32 Badges

I'm so excited to share this massive, year-long project (though it's kinda crazy that we managed to compress it in to a single year). If you're a DEF CON attendee, you know how over-the-top the badges can be. My first year creating the DEF CON badge was last year, a non-electronic badge year. You can find my talk about

"According to #Mozilla research, popular global brands — including #BMW, #Ford, #Toyota, #Tesla, #Kia, and #Subaru — can collect deeply personal data such as sexual activity, immigration status, race, facial expressions, weight, health and genetic information, and where you drive. Researchers found data is being gathered by sensors, microphones, cameras, and the phones and devices drivers connect to their cars, as well as by car apps, company websites, dealerships, and vehicle telematics. Brands can then share or sell this data to third parties. Car brands can also take much of this data and use it to develop inferences about a driver’s intelligence, abilities, characteristics, preferences, and more."

Fucking hell, give me an old junker car with no seat heaters, crank windows, and a Best Buy installed car stereo that's 10 years old over the new shit that's out there any day.

IMPORTANT NOTE for anyone who was at #DEFCON and stayed in the Caesar's Palace hotel OR the Orleans hotel -- there is a confirmed outbreak of Legionnaire's Disease. If you were there and, for instance, took any showers, you have potentially been exposed and you NEED TO GET CHECKED OUT if you are experiencing ANY symptoms. (Legionnaire's has a fairly low infection rate but a pretty high fatality rate! Early treatment is essential!) https://nypost.com/2023/08/27/las-vegas-hotels-caesar-palace-and-the-orleans-under-investigation-for-legionnaires-disease-cases/

NEW: This is the device that confused and concerned attendees at @defcon by triggering pop ups on their iPhones.

The researcher who created it explained how it works, and what are the risks iPhone users face when these spoofed messages pop up.

And apparently defcon wouldn't be complete without having caught covid. (I caught it for the first time last year after defcon as well.) Such a bummer. Thankfully it's just a head cold right now, but man I would like to skip it next year if possible thanks.

for #defcon31 this year, @mar, @p0lr and I built the Penrose mosaic badge site (which is still up for a bit longer over at https://spux.art) in 6wks. It was stressful af, and there are several things I would add/change if I had more time. HOWEVER for the time we had we made something really neat. Think r/place but with Penrose tiles. We spent a chunk of the con playing smash-a-bug, and pushing shit straight to prod. However it was a blast and I'm pretty proud of the sheer amount of math I managed to write in the short time I had. I'll attach a little video, since the majority of the functionality isn't visible without a UUID to login. The idea was you would get a UUID with your badge, and could use that to place it on the board. Of course there were a handful of easter eggs, and a puzzle to solve in Choctaw. The highlight was meeting the super dedicated and smart people that actually solved the puzzle. Props to rhiann & Tommy, you two rock.
