@GlennPegden @DC44141 @dc441905 @dc441242 @London_2600 @bournemouth2600 @2600Manchester @defcon I think some of the @defconch folks might be going (or used to go). Some may even be the folks who run @a41con

Great news! #AREA41 2024 conference videos are now live. Watch all recordings on our free channel: @defconswitzerland/playlists" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@defconswitzer… Thanks to all speakers and a special shoutout to Cooper (@Ministrator) for the awesome editing!

A few weeks ago I gave a talk at @a41con on how to phish for PRTs and phishing resistant authentication methods 👀. The slides, plus a demo video on how to do this with credential phishing are now on my blog: dirkjanm.io/talks

At @a41con we unleashed a Kubernetes hacking challenge. In this blog post we want to tell you a bit more on what it was all about, how it went down and what the solution was. Enjoy! redguard.ch/blog/2024/06/1…

@0gtweet @NicolasHeiniger Thanks for raising it - we’ll look into it. As you mentioned we unfortunately do not control the content of each speaker.

@NicolasHeiniger @a41con They did nothing wrong IMO. I was able to spot an icon appearing for couple of seconds and that's it. No reason for meaningful reaction when taken as isolated fact. Context makes it different, but it remains out of @a41con control.

@ant0inet always follow the 3-2-1 rule🤓 at least 3h of sleep, 2 meals and 1 shower per day

So about those @a41con challenges... a41con.ch/b24/challenge.… I solved 1 & 2 (spoiler in replies).

@ant0inet fair enough🫡 eat&drink should be in there too 😏 but appreciated for still playing and for the nice writeups🙌

@a41con priorities: attending the presentations, networking with people, solving challenges, sleep 😬

congrats! The @redguard_ch K8 challenge is still open today if anyone else wants to play join from anywhere and win awesome prices: k8s-challenge.redguard.ch/register 📦🐳🔐🎁

P stands for pad lock (yes, thats a button 😎) and this is how it looks with all the easter eggs solved. **How to solve:** 1) Dump the firmware via USB (esptool.py) 2) strings on the binary file reveals all easter eggs - but interpretation is hard 3) google for the UUID you find in strings 😉😎 4) read the source code (or upload to chatGPT and get totally confused 😜)
