Giveaway.

@HCAdamSec and @SecureAerospace are sponsoring today’s giveaway of a set of the sold-out Aerospace Village 2024 & 2025 DEF CON badge + SAO. This badge is a fully custom (and hackable) Linux SBC with integrated ADS-B receiver, GPS, and more.

The “Charlie” SAO adds even more capabilities including listening to Air-Band VHF audio, broadcast FM (in stereo!) and weather radio on a grayscale OLED, all made possible with a plethora of hardware hacks!

The Aerospace Village is a non-profit organization where aerospace security and hacker culture come together to build a more secure aerospace future.

@BirdEmUpYo @SwiftOnSecurity You might enjoy seeing what @HCAdamSec and @RJP5th did to make the badge. Truly impressive and definitely not just an ESP32. https://t.co/cFII8cUvsV

Normie cyber people it brings me no pleasure to announce the aerospace cyber people absolutely cooked us

[Matt Mayes @av_pubs]

@DecryptedTech @HCAdamSec It was a design decision to keep the front cleaner. Same with the SAO connector. We’ve found some prefer the cleaner look. Plus since it’s a hacking conference, we figured a little soldering isn’t a bad thing. 🙂 @HCAdamSec did a great job with that internal antenna.

As we all recover from DEF CON, a quick note from our Board Chair.

[Aerospace Village @SecureAerospace]

Thanks to our friends at @LockheedMartin for another year of support during @defcon 33!

Did you like last year's Darkstar badge challenge??!! Good chance you're going to enjoy another creative challenge from Otter and his team.

[Dan Allen @cybertestpilot]

With DEFCON 33 fast approaching, the Rare Circuits team is excited to finally unveil our 2025 SAO in collaboration with @SecureAerospace Village!
* Receiving and listening to Air-Band VHF audio
* Jamming out to FM radio, in *stereo*!
* …and more @defcon

During DC32 I was disappointed to learn that Hack-A-Sat had been discontinued, and there were no space-themed CTFs.We couldn’t let @defcon 33 go by without bringing the excitement of space hacking back—and now, we’re making it happen!

So thanks to @HCAdamSec for going to get those things. Not only is he a hardware genius, but apparently can lift heavy objects as well.

[Matt Mayes @av_pubs]

Me: "Hey can we get a metal detector for @defcon “
@Jesse_ejmts : "Want me to bid on this listing?"
@HCAdamSec : "I live nearby!"
Me: "Yeah, no way we get it that cheap"
@Jesse_ejmts "Um, so we won the auction"

And that is how @SecureAerospace now owns 7(!) metal detectors. 😆

@thebaldgeek @HCAdamSec Any thoughts?

[Matt Mayes @av_pubs]

@KingCryptoad @SecureAerospace I hope to, but time keeps slipping away. Might have to just focus on the big batch for DC33. But you’re watching the right spot.

[Matt Mayes @av_pubs]

The 2024 @SecureAerospace badge we made for this year’s DEF CON is back in stock on Tindie. There will likely be another small release before the end of the year and the rest will be saved for DC33. https://t.co/Cl0XHwhUxX
