I have the 1988 Oshkosh Closeup to watch after this too, plus one Doctor Who episode with the Third Doctor.

Oshkosh 1992 VHS tape.

While the VHS tape is in color, it’s displaying decently on the black and white TV, and it’s much clearer and stable than live TV.

Getting ”career relevant” experience by climbing up through a tiny window to break into a room with a locked door.

Not on my list of expected caregiving duties but I’ll take it.

@1o57 What might be a good spot for me to start? I think I’m at the right baud rate now (57600), and so far typing/touching letters hasn’t gotten me any new light patterns or words yet.

[Markus @_fl4re]

If anyone wants to give me a clue here, I’m stuck on the #defcon 22 badge only displaying “we live they sleep” through serial and the same light pattern flashing.

I’m not sure if it’s different than the human badge firmware or I’m missing something, any help is appreciated.

While I haven’t yet found anything useful from the IR output, it could be fun to change that somehow to try and join the laser tags next time…

The @defcon colors and logo have finally been released: https://t.co/591XBrpPSk

Because these boxes seem to be *everywhere* but with all the names they go under it seems easy to hide the blogs/tweets/talks about this stuff, making everyone think it’s less widespread than it is.

[Markus @_fl4re]

What I find interesting is the search manipulation. Someone from my local Defcon group poked at a similar device to this with a different name (and less overtly malicious), and I wonder if the manipulation/different branding helps to hide previous research.

Her dad brought home a $300 box that gave him thousands of channels, every movie, every show, even pay-per-view.

Her sister said the home network had been slow ever since. So she took one home, put it on its own network behind a firewall, and watched who it was talking to.

Here's what she found.

Hey infosec twitter. You might think your company is protected from cyber attacks and had a robust incident response plan but the reality is that it doesn’t. Why?

Because they haven’t hired me to run it. If you’re looking for someone with experience in incident response, threat intelligence, and more I’m still on the market.

This is not a request but a demand. I’m no longer asking. Here is my emotional support gremlin for proof.

Survived the first of 3 finals. I think it went decent, but I think a bit below the score I needed for an A in the class.

Tomorrow I’ve got an easy morning exam and then will likely die to the evening chemistry exam.

@dressingroomrat @Microsoft After finals I’ll be digging into the troubleshooting stuff more for sure.

And I know there’s much better alternatives, but… I don’t want to give up my 2700 levels of spider solitaire…

[Markus @_fl4re]

So as far as I can tell I’m not allowed to debug/troubleshoot @Microsoft apps due to their restrictions.

But Microsoft Solitaire has been crashing daily for weeks now, and they don’t seem inclined to fix that anytime soon. As bad as it is, there’s no need to ruin the app more.

I’m desperately begging whatever tech gods there might be to make telephone systems any amount less complicated.

I just want to make my own phone with a spoofed 1337 number, is that too much to ask?

visits the pope → pope dies

leads Iran negotiations → talks collapse

flies to Hungary to prop up Orbán → Orbán loses in a landslide

Man’s got a streak.

@NerdShinobi Oof, that’s exactly me…

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶

The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

@redsquirrel_7 You’ll enjoy this one then, they’ve got a nice section on wardriving with a pda.

I’ve never been so glad to have devices with GPS and wifi built in before.

[Markus @_fl4re]

Found a book on wardriving, and I’m enjoying the tidbits of history scattered throughout.

The old wardriving setup photos: 10/10

[Markus @_fl4re]

@redsquirrel_7 I guess I should have clarified, but the wardriving car image was stolen from another wardriver, it’s not from the book (it just was cool and I wanted to share it).

The book is wardriving and wireless pentesting. It’s from 2006 so fairly outdated though, just as a heads up.

[Markus @_fl4re]

@DustinFinn I take it back, I might just have the newer version of your book. They have the same review from bobzilla. And DT’s forward is actually copied from your book, oops.

[Markus @_fl4re]

@DustinFinn I’ll have to check that book out. This book is also by mostly the same people, and with an intro by DT too.

Do note- the book I’m reading is useful for antenna and wifi/pentesting, but a majority focuses on using (now outdated) software, so it may not be too useful for you.
