Big thanks to @offensive_con for another fantastic conference and training experience. The @infosectcbr team had a great time, learned a lot, and really enjoyed catching up with so many people from the community. Thanks for having us - see you next year.

I love the comfort of long-running, dependably good conferences, and I equally love the buzz and energy that comes with a brand-new conference.

[BSidesCanberra @BSidesCbr]

New BSides Canberra IX look unlocked.

Blue tones, laser lines, and energy straight out of the grid.

Website updated, more to come.

[Kylie McDevitt @kylieengineer]

Huge thanks to @_everythingopen for inviting me to open the conference.

A genuinely thoughtful, engaged community, great conversations, and a reminder of why openness, understanding, and sharing still matter so much. Big appreciation to the volunteer team who made it all happen.

[Kylie McDevitt @kylieengineer]

Excited for this - I’m speaking on Wednesday morning. 🥳🙌

@silviocesare I’ve seen this one - might skip 😛

[Kylie McDevitt @kylieengineer]

Does 36U represent a rack height or an unsigned integer?

[Kylie McDevitt @kylieengineer]

My From Plug to Pwn lightning talk from @kawaiiconNZ is now up ⚡️
15 minutes of embedded devices, firmware poking, and a few Pwn2Own stories.

Huge thanks to the Kawaiicon crue for having me, such a fun con.

If 3 days of @BSidesCbr isn’t enough and you want something really deeply technical to round the week off… @EmuExploit have you covered.

[Kylie McDevitt @kylieengineer]

Spent this weekend processing and uploading the @BSidesCbr 2025 talks. Amazing content, what an awesome conference 😍

[Kylie McDevitt @kylieengineer]

Have found my happy place in Wellington (besides KawaiiCon which is as legendary as always).

[Kylie McDevitt @kylieengineer]

All checked in early for KawaiiCon and excited to be in Wellington! 🇳🇿

I’ll be giving a talk on Saturday. A whirlwind intro to acquiring firmware from a hard embedded device. Looking forward to the conference! 😍
