✨🆕 New project! ✨
For educational purposes only…
I HACKED A CAR IN JAVASCRIPT!!! 📡🛻
I built a web tool to hack wireless devices right from the browser and I used it to run a rolljam/replay attack against my friend's car (with consent of course) and IT WORKED!!! 😃🎉
As much as it's nice to see people experiment more now that AI makes it easier, it's kinda sad that I don't see much knowledge sharing. No walkthrough of their process, implementation, etc. It's all just "look at this cool video of what I built" and that's it... 😞
Day 5 of whale swimming: today we swam with multiple pods, even one with 7 whales!! What a way to end the week! We've been so incredibly lucky

Day 4 of whale swimming: lots of fin slapping throughout the day! So cool to be able to see what's going on both above and under water!

i don't think tech people understand how little non-tech people care about tech
the average person does not have a basic understanding of how a computer works
the idea of everyone just prompting their own software is only for a small subset of people
Day 3 of whale swimming, I didn't think it could get even better! Not only did we find a mother and calf again but there were 2 more whales with them! It was unbelievable!
Day 2 of whale swimming: we saw a mother and her calf!! We were so close, it was absolutely amazing! 😍
At the end of the day, we got a much closer encounter with a couple of whales but the other group got an even better experience so I'm really excited for the next few days!
Day 1 of whale swimming: I learned that I'm not immune to seasickness 🤢🛥️ It was quite miserable but it's ok cause I saw whales!! 😍
The ones we saw mostly stayed at the bottom so it wasn't always easy to spot them but we got a singer and I could feel the vibrations through my body, it was so cool!!
I'll never understand how some people can pride themselves in being completely oblivious to the issues others may face in a community or even worse, to not give a shit at all just because it would mean they'd have to improve their own behavior a little bit.

More talks will be uploaded soon!
Giving a talk in a very busy expo hall is its own kind of challenge 😬 Really struggled to get my thoughts straight, background noise is super disrupting but I tried 💜
Speaking about experimenting with AI-enabled interfaces at this stage in the expo hall in about 1h! Come join! #renderatl

Speaking today at 3:15 on the main stage, see you there!
So excited to speak at @RenderATL this week!
I'll be presenting on Evolution of the Web in the age of AI.
We’ll look at the composition of the web and how it’s changed, we’ll talk about WebMCP, security concerns, mitigations and the future. See you there!

One thing you learn early on as a hacker is that just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should do that thing.
Trying to scam/phish/hack people on your way home (on a flight!) from @defcon means you weren’t really paying attention to that basic fact.
NEW: Someone jammed the in-flight Wi-Fi on a Delta plane after the Def Con hacking conference in Las Vegas and replaced it with a malicious network.
Pilots alerted air traffic control: “We believe they are trying to scam the [other passengers].”

You do this shit it impacts all of us. Some folks want to cancel defcon permanently and give government a reason to label and target us as dangerous. Doing this shit on a plane causes safety risks and fear amongst passengers, hope these fuckers get on the no fly list and banned from defcon, but they are probably looking at jail time.
