EFF is always so proud to represent security researchers doing important work. Our Coders' Rights Project often works with DEFCON presenters, and two of our clients are presenting today about schools, bathroom vape detectors, and audio recordings. www.wired.com/story/schoo...

Call for flash-chips at DEF CON!

If you have leftover or rare SPI flash-chips that I can have for testing some tooling I’m building I’d be very thankful.

Also if you have devices where you had trouble dumping in-system I’d love to give it a try. I’ll be at Embedded Systems Village :)

In Episode 2 of the BSides Project, I build a conference video streaming setup on the cheap with OBS Studio and two inexpensive HDMI-to-USB capture devices... then I explain why I won't be using any of that for @bsidespdx.bsky.social.
