This orange plasma display is being powered by just enough voltage to create a dim glow, but the 405nm laser pointer pushes certain areas into a higher output, which remains until power cycled! A plasma Etch-A-Sketch.

\o/ I’ll show our research on how to go from a crypto design to the list of gates that leak, automatically. Come learn about side channels, hardware design, and a little story about the AES core that thought it was secure.

I'm happy to announce my new book, Open Circuits! Windell Oskay and I painstakingly cross sectioned, cut, sanded, polished, and cleaned over 100 electronic components and took sumptuous photos. Check out the sample chapter! nostarch.com/open-circuits

I must say, crack.sh is pretty impressive. 45 seconds for a NTLMv1 hash :) Of course if anyone can tell me what the password was I'd appreciate it, seems I've forgotten😂

DES Rainbow Tables for NetNTLMv1 coming soon. Thanks David!

Some examples of how we too often get wrapped up in complex attack chains that show off our “skills” that we overlook the glaringly obvious 🤦‍♂️

Hey #toorcamp attendees! How deerpunk can you make your sleeping area? Show us and win prizes!

Every few years David Hulton and I take a picture at a toorcon, and now a ToorCamp. First one 1999 then 2000, and then again in 2018 and now this past week. We look just as young as we did in '99 😂

Thank you so much to everyone that made it out to camp this year! It was a total blast and we truly couldn’t have done it without you. #deerpunk Photo Credit: Tyler Menezes

ToorCon/ToorCamp Cabana Hangout at the LINQ pool 3-6pm tomorrow (Thursday 8/11), please RSVP! forms.gle/YKfv3edWaNZNjk…

Found a random lock in the alley while loading in the new microCT 😈

Soon. #picoemp

ICYMI: I started a YouTube channel: Sea-Lab lab. It's going to have all sorts of cool science and shit! youtube.com/channel/UClma5…

Just uploaded a new sea-lab teaser. David Hulton Did the hard work. I just added a little sound. youtube.com/watch?v=3cm7zM…

Over the summer, I got nerd sniped with extracting bits from microscope photographs of mask ROMs. Here is my C++/Qt6 CAD tool for marking and extracting bits, including Design Rule Checks, a variety of export formats and a CLI. maskromtool.com

Here's a test shot of the backside of an AMD M74AP I took while calibrating some new gear over at sea-lab.lol Blog post and source coming soon!

The low cost fiber laser optic is now ready! Only based on COTS, around 2um spot when coupled to a 980nm laser, 100mm working distance, 75% of power transmission; less than 180€. Can be mounted in most CNC routers / 3D printers.

We're co-hosting the @bsidessf 2023 after party this year with ToorCamp :) It should be lively with DJ Keith Myers, GIG ECONOMY, and Dave aka MASS ACCELERATOR Art: ριɳɠυιɳσ 🍕 David Hulton Sixteen Colors Grab your tickets here: eventbrite.com/e/spectre-the-… #HOPEYOULIKEHOUSE

I'll be talking about TRACERS IN THE DARK at one of my favorite bookstores in the world, Ada's Technical Books in Seattle, on Monday evening of next week, in conversation with Ada's co-owner and crypto(graphy + currency) guru David Hulton. adasbooks.com/author-talk-gl… (Thx Danielle Hulton!)
