Good morning @defcon peeps! We will be having a charity silent auction today 2-5 pm in our suite supporting @equalityfl! Lots of #badgelife goodies donated by the community and some other items too.

Don't miss it - Flamingo Las Vegas - Habitat Elevators - Suite 28163
#DEFCON31

The hardware is fully-functional but the software isn't quite done. It has blinkies, boops, bleps, and is a fully featured wifi router. What's missing is the pirate box application. It will be fully compatible with the production firmware when it's released though.

[BOGON @ExtantBogon]

When I said that the PirateBox #badgelife badge wouldn't be available at DEF CON, that wasn't quite true. There is *one*. It's available at the @dcfurs charity auction tomorrow. It's a rev2 prototype... 🧵

💻Just dumping some devices to get them ready for our Hardware Hacking section!

🌟Come get your hands on some PCBs and learn how to dump firmware off of real devices! Who knows what you will find @defcon 🔍☠️

I'll provide more info on future plans and potential preorders after DEF CON.
Sorry to disappoint everyone this year, but we'll be back next year better than ever! (3/3)

[BOGON @ExtantBogon]

Not-so-great PirateBox Badge announcement:
Due to RF gremlins and competing responsibilities, the badges won't be available at DEF CON this year. (1/3)

[BOGON @ExtantBogon]

As much as I hate the idea of disappointing people by delaying the badge, I hate the idea of giving people a disappointing badge a *lot* more. So, I'm delaying release until the badges are properly ready. (2/3)

🔥Exciting News! Introducing our ESV badge for #DEFCON31 this year: The badge will feature 3 thrilling challenges in the ESV #CTF.🕵️💻 The badge also acts as a USB to serial debugger to aid you in your hardware hacking! Available for purchase at the ESVillage @defcon! #Embedded

Quick reminder that updates for the PirateBox badge are generally posted at Bogon(at)defcon(dot)social before they're posted here. There's no guarantee that posts will continue here since some colossal melon keeps ruining everything.

[EmbeddedSystemsVillage @EmbeddedVillage]

‼️ Something special is coming to Embedded Systems Village @defcon ‼️

Keep an ear out for upcoming announcements and posts describing the limited edition badge and how you can get your own ☠

Also, apparently using the cheapest solder paste you can find on eBay isn't a great idea. The stuff is super uneven and globby.

[BOGON @ExtantBogon]

PCBs for the next (and hopefully final) prototype round of PirateBox #badgelife badges arrived, so we're cooking up some crimes on the griddle.

[BOGON @ExtantBogon]

To get the correct scale:
Go to document properties.
Under General, set display units to inches.
Under Scale, set the scale to 72 units per inch.
Then set the display units to millimeters because eww inches.

[BOGON @ExtantBogon]

For anyone who's confused because @spux's @defcon #badgelife insert SVG template has the wrong scale in Inkscape, it's because Adobe. Instead of just using the inch units built in to the SVG standard, Adobe Illustrator goes the unhinged route and applies a DPI to SVG.

📢 Introducing the Embedded Systems Village! 🌐💻
Calling all tech enthusiasts and security researchers! We're thrilled to announce the launch of the Embedded Systems Village, where hardware and software meet to tackle exciting challenges. 🛠💡

[BOGON @ExtantBogon]

Speaking of DEF CON, I've been helping with some Stuff™️and Things™️ for a new village 😉

[BOGON @ExtantBogon]

Still not sure what end-game looks like, but hopefully there’ll be a batch done in time for @defcon. We’ll see ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[BOGON @ExtantBogon]

I finally got around to working on a little #badgelife project that’s been rattling around in my braincase for a while. The premise is simple - slap an OpenWRT module on a board, add enough components to make a fully functional wifi router, and throw a Pirate Box app on it.

[BOGON @ExtantBogon]

There have been a few fuckups so far, but nothing too critical. Probably. The differential and impedance controlled traces seem to be fine though, so that’s nice.
