For the last few years on this blog we’ve been publishing more and more about embedded systems. We started with “Disassembling Blackberry Apps” which (to this day) we still get emails about thanking us for the disassembler patches we released. A few years back as Ridley was getting into “hardware hacking” and attacking embedded systems […]
We spoke at Breakpoint 2012 in Melbourne, Australia. Whatta cool con. A researcher’s conference. It was small and highly relevant with great content. It was also a really great choice of venue (The Intercontinental). For the last decade or so I’ve used the term “rux” like people use the term “0wn”. I’ve also used the […]
“The sky above Las Vegas was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel…“ Ok it wasn’t. In fact it was bright, beautiful, sunny and hot as sh*t. Neal Stephenson did the keynote at BlackHat this year, so we felt we should sling the obligatory cyberpunk reference into this post….and because I (Ridley) am writing […]

I couldn’t make it to the BlackHat course.” With the exception of CanSecWest and BlackHat we’ve mostly been giving this (and customized versions of similar […]

After getting briefed by the Media Coordinator and Vincenzo Iozzo we summarized our talk and training in the simplest of terms to a room of reporters and journalists. After the press conference […]
Uhm….so apparently CTFs have REALLY blown up! As a founding member of Kenshoto, I remember how we pushed the envelope for CTFs (building automatic scoring systems, *actual* challenges, etc.) I was also the VJ for our first two years running, lugging my 500 DVDs with me to play my favorite little esoteric cyberpunk clips from […]
Another conference has come and gone. Sometimes it seems that the annual conference schedule is the metronome to which the Infosec world paces itself. The coming and going of conferences is the only consistency in this idiosyncratic industry full of neurosis and theatrics. This year’s CanSecWest held true to form and was the stage for […]
