Thank you to the 178 souls who came to PhreakNIC 26 this year! We had a blast with the CTF & intertwined card game, the hacking hardware village, the great talk content, and the best badges we have ever had.

Yo fam!
Preregistration is a wrap — it’s done, over, finito. No cap. If you missed it, don’t stress. Pull up at the door and grab your ticket for $50. But if you’re rocking that student ID? You’re sliding in for just $5. Big W.
Stay locked in, it’s gonna be straight vibes.

In “Gravitational Lensing of Red Star OS,” LambdaCalculus shows us what’s under the hood of the North Korean state-maintained Linux distro. Yes, it runs Doom, by the way.

We figure we’ll highlight PhreakNIC talks over the next few days, just so you know what you’ll be missing if you don’t make your way to Murfreesboro next month.

_NSAKEY’s talk “From OSINT to OH SHIT” will give PhreakNIC attendees a peek behind the curtain of the data broker industry, including war stories and unique perspectives from an adjacent field.

[PhreakNIC @PhreakNIC]

In “Misdirection & Break-Ins,” TipsyBacchus clues us into using the magician strategies of misdirection, sleight of hand, and making things seem more wondrous than they are - but in a red team context. The same tricks that can fool an audience can also be used to fool security.

[PhreakNIC @PhreakNIC]

Corgi kicks things off on day one, with “Who Queries the Query?” - this talk covers GraphQL all the way from the basics to a tour of some common exploits and what they look like in the wild.

The pay phone is set up to do speech-to-text and text-to-speech, allowing you to have a conversation with an LLM. It is configured insecurely, and by saying the right thing, you can get Remote Code Execution on the box running the LLM.

CTF participant Dave B successfully got Remote Code Execution to dump a flag by speaking into an LLM through a payphone handset. Congrats!
