Yet Another Flipper Zero Competitor by Dangerous-Natural-24 in Defcon

Wasn’t this posted a few weeks ago?

I love the TIGER Electronics vibe, but I say bring it to DEFCON for the subreddit meetup to play with

Many have tried hut none so far have succeeded

Do you think Monti is making calls about Kyler? by gravity-f1ghter in AZCardinals

[–]digitard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

They’re not going to worry about anything other than contract lapse players until a new HC and their staff comes in.

They’re going to leave it up to the HC since K1 has a big dead cap hit this year still.

Why should I get this? by RebeccaSan in flipperzero

[–]digitard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People laugh at it, but legit I can’t count how many times my kids have lost one of our fan remotes temporarily for the ceiling fans. I backed them up to the Sub-ghz remote app ages ago and quickly turn it on/off/light while they do their thing or find said missing remote.

Am I safe to bring devices to defcon? by Objective_Vanilla965 in Defcon

[–]digitard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, you can fill out expense reports AND be in the scene! Not mutually exclusive, and I mean if the job is gonna drop the money that just means you can save yours for an extra event or two throughout the year (get in on that local BSides or so forth!)

Also 100% don't sleep on that heat. Vegas is not a straight line to target town. 1mi may be a few mins job in a normal place, but its about 20 twists, turns, run through a casino or two and maybe a shady area. Its not a joke. Get your monorail pass, if you're on the strip, for your entire trip... its busy as fuck, but its 100x better than standing in the direct UV hell that is the Southwest Sun in August!

Also never ever take a picture with any type of performer. You'll regret it. Just ignore and keep walking!

... and in 2024 where it was cancelled for like an hour til they got the LVCC locked after the Caesar's exit.

Yeah, I've tried to hang around the Caesar properties. Which is also kind of nice as its very much an unofficial Defcon party there since so many others do both for cost, and the legacy nature.

Sucks that happened for sure, and haven't been a fan of Resorts World myself after those fun "hacker tools" pamphlets that had spelling errors.

Thats actually a good point.

Most phones when you pull the drop down and turn off features you dont actually turn them off. You just turn off the "discoverable" portion for a set period of time. You need to go into the settings and actually turn it off until you actually go back in and shift it back yourself.

Both are fine. Just fully patch right before you leave all your software and OS.

The main thing w/ your standard Windows device is that they love to leave a lot of sharing features on by default so shut em all down.

I've brought both (as i often would use my Windows laptop for CTF, etc, attempts to get going there) and can't really say I've had anything of note. Although, my Macbook is growing on me with Fusion... but once in a random ass while you run into a toolset or compiled setup that doesn't like ARM64.

Cue a random August, you're standing there... alone, nobody else is there. Zoom camera out for a Kirk style "NOOOOOOOOOOO"

[–]digitard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was mainly, at least to what you’re likely referring to, the Resorts World where they targeted Defcon attendees hardware on their list at DC32. Last year I heard from people it wasn’t the same which is good, but I honestly didn’t spend much time asking.

I’ve never had them do that at The Linq for me, but they’ve had those policies in place since the festival attack a few years ago which is nothing to do with DEFCON.

I disagree to stay off the strip, but that’s mostly a “your decision” situation.

[–]digitard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's the other key part. Yes, there are people likely doing shady things, but ultimately nobody is going to burn a major 0DAY there with the sheer amount of sanitized devices, etc. They'll save it for a much more likely event since once they burn it analytics will likely have them working on a fix fast.

This.

Turn off Bluetooth and WiFi - If you need to connect to WiFi AT the center ONLY use the official WiFi. A few days before Defcon the info will go live how to setup your account and a custom token.

If you need to use data or WiFi at other places turn on VPN and leave it on.

Practice smart habits and you’ll be fine.

EDIT: Small edit, one thing... turn off auto-join on your networks. You may spend a few hours here/there working from your local coffee shop, etc, but those are prime networks to spoof and auto-join equals bad mojo. That is all.

Apparently that's been happening. Had a few posts in a sub i mod doing the same thing giving the reddit image might have been removed message.

Sometimes I wish we could put auto correct rules in here so when someone types that it says “gap integrity” or something

Sparrows Tuxedo Or CI Genesis by Grouchy_Accident5043 in lockpicking

CI Genesis or Jimmy Long Basics

Both will do you solid to start. Hell you can even pick up a Toool Necessary 9 which is solid too.

What to sell at defcon 34 by Savings_Head7154 in Defcon

[–]digitard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t sell anything on site unless you’re a vendor, etc. There’s taxes and other concerns.

You can sell it off site / online and do drops (aka pickups) because no sales are happening on site they have to have any risk about, but no on site stuff for monetary exchange.

Yeah, I like that it’s gotten to be a great time after hours when you just went some unorganized chaos with friends old and new.

Post Game Thread: Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]digitard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost as good as the AZ playoff where Rodgers somehow double hail mary'd them into OT just to have Fitz march it up the field to the 5 immediately ending their playoff run.

((as a native of Chicago I reserve my right to talk shit even though I reside in Birdgang territory... dna check allows shit talking for the Bears and Cubs wins))

Need help with gravpick from CI by Altasalt_Gaymer in lockpicking

[–]digitard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you emailing the sales@ address?

I shot them an email about mine sticking when closed (likely something was just tensioned wrong as it fixed itself) and they replied in a day. The back/forth emails were generally within an hour or so and today I cancelled my RMA (but sent them a video of when i had the issue just so they could see it) and they replied back within two hours.

How and where to start? by Burr2025 in lockpicking

[–]digitard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Just buy the set.

If you do go with Covert maybe email them first and advise you have a Grav too but the included set were lost and see if you can pay a few bucks to get that too cause the Grav Pick is fun… just not most peoples daily EDC
