[12am] We hit the opening keynote by Cory Doctorow. He had some interesting things to say about patterns in eula agreements and the restriction of rights to enforce business models.[Simple Nomad] followed up with his talk called 'State of the Enemy State' - his observations regarding government security, just how advanced real time encryption cracking probably is and predictions on some … [Read more...]

September 29, 2006 By 12 Comments
I'm waiting for my ride on the first leg of my trip to Toorcon. I'll be there along with Eliot and Fabienne. Dan Kaminsky will be there presenting, so we'll be having a major HAD get together.

RGB stroboscopic guitar tuning
November 3, 2010 By 15 Comments
This is [Michael Ossmann's] RGB LED stroboscopic guitar tuner. If his name is familiar that's because we mentioned he'd be giving a talk with [Travis Goodspeed] at ToorCon. But he went to DefCon as well and spent the weekend in his hotel room trying to win the badge hacking contest. Despite adversity he did get his tuner working. It's built into a toy guitar that he takes on road trips with … [Read more...]
