This was a really cool and awesome course ❤️! I learned so much in these two days and did a lot of stuff I never did and never heard about before. It was cool when (after some nasty debugging 🫠) the encryption key could finally be sniffed 🤘. Thanks a lot for your training, you guys rock!

Got a flat on the kid trailer.
Not just the tube - tyre was toast too. 😬
Swapped it and used my go-to fix:
the Xiaomi Portable Compressor.
🛠 Precise
♻️ Reusable
🚗 Lives in the car
Way better than CO₂ if you’ve got kids in tow.

Lol, ChatGPT struggles a bit with breadboard drawing, but its still pretty impressive… and yes, I use red and green for CAN-H and CAN-L as given by the CANable 2.0 Pro dongle I am using:
s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EvS01ii
Spent half a day chasing ghosts on the CAN bus. Logic analyzer showed traffic, but the system was dead silent.
Turns out I forgot the termination resistor — the one thing I was told to check first.
Lesson: don’t skip the basics. 🧌🔧

Forgot the grill tongs at a Swiss Grillplatz.
So I built some — 2 sticks + fishing line = DIY spring-loaded BBQ tongs.

Most people wait.
For clarity. For courage. For the “right” time.
But the truth? You'll rarely feel ready.
Movement brings clarity. Not the other way around.
That first step changes everything.

“Why do you always carry a knife?”
My great-grandfather told my grandfather, who told my dad, who told me: “A real man always carries a knife.”
Today, I used mine to turn a normal bottle into a spill-proof straw bottle.

And that’s the difference: you’ve clearly been through Dunning-Kruger more than once - and learnt a lot each time. And you‘re surely more than just acting competent 😉
“0-day” LPE - but only works if you know the password?
That’s not a vuln. That’s literally a feature.
Tired of seeing this stuff blindly reposted by folks who can’t tell access control from exploit. We need fewer click-chasers, more professionals.
Easter food for thought 🐣
What if BitLocker isn’t as secure as you think?
We show 3 real-world attacks + mitigations at @blackhatevents.bsky.social #BHUSA 2025.
🧰 TPM sniffing, DMA, BitPixie.
🛠️ All hands-on. Hardware kit included.

🚀 Did you know? You can use Touch ID for sudo on macOS - no more password typing in Terminal
🔐 Just add this at the top of /etc/pam.d/sudo:
` auth sufficient pam_tid.so`
Next time you run sudo, you’ll get a fingerprint prompt.
That's how sudo should feel in 2025.
