offering from rot13labs is the Troll Badge!
Theres a ton of info; so check the thread for more details 👇
@joff_thyer
When you do eventually pick it, make sure you leave the lock inside the case for them to discover at a future date. It’ll be like a fun surprise for them!
Y’all may not know this, but I’m pretty famous on infosec twitter. And now, thanks to
@hackdotxxx
, everyone I meet gets to know it! 300+ is enough to qualify; I asked my mom.
I got laid off while at Shmoo. I’m grateful they waited until after the holidays, and the timing allowed me to make a ton of great contacts, but now I’m officially back on the market! If any of y’all know of any cool openings in the DevSecOps realm, please let me know!
Alright y'all, here's one I've been excited to announce for quite a while now...

Ever get physical access but realize you forgot your badUSBs? Or just need a stealthy way to sneak them into a building?
We got you.
BadUSB Earrings are now fully functional!
If you see me at
#Defcon

I'll be the short dude in the

ok, so ill probably bring other clothes too but how rad is this!?
As promised, here's the big news on the

#badgelife
... It's a high frequency RFID detector and comes with a CH751 for... well... everything. They'll be given out for free to anyone we meet. BUT, the badge itself is not the news 1/?
It's been called "the most niche badge at defcon" and "wtf? get that dumb shit out of here". What is it? Its the new Encrypted Wall

! whats it do!? Absolutely nothing. It's blinky and passes RJ45 data straight through it... probably. sorry earth.

@LinuxHandbook
ls is basically the Linux equivalent to clicking the tongs when you’re grilling; you just gotta do it before things can really start to happen.
Alright y’all, still a bit more work left, and I probably won’t be making a ton of them, but here’s a sneak peak at the

#badgelife
and packaging from rot13labs!
I was told that bringing compromised lightning cables as swag for
@shmoocon
was probably not a good idea, so instead ill just bring a few of these totally legit (defo not compromised) lightning cables to give out while im there.
If I made one of those “sexy fireman” style calendars to raise money for charity, but it was all just hacker dudes doing hacker stuff, would I be cancelled or celebrated…?
Maybe the last

announcement i'll make before DC? I've got kits to make your own

is going to creep up on us faster than y'all think, so here are some things to consider buying now to prepare:
- bulk googley eyes
- bulk stickers
- bulk rubber duckies
- bulk malört
- bulk burner phones
I honestly cant remember who took this photo but I absolutely love it. Anywhere else, this would probably be considered weird, but
@defcon
its just another night of catching up with old friends and meeting new ones
I used to work with a guy who used "chaotic evil" and damn was it wild to watch that man work. monitors of all sizes everywhere; he even had one of those tiny 7" monitors in the mix for his spotify.
This year,

@shmoocon
! The whole crew will be there and we're bringing a hand full of fox badges. We'll be hiding one badge each day of the con; first to find them gets to keep them! They'll all be on 146.565 so bring your radios! more info 👇
Missed out on the foxes
@skyehopper
and I designed for
@defcon
? Here's another chance to get one! This limited run was made in purple/silver and come with the new
@rot13labs
patch. Only 10 were made, so they'll go quick. I plan to add them to tindie Monday around noon EST.
I'm organizing a hacker takeover party at LINQs High Roller for DC30. I'll be handing out this free badge for it, but I'm hoping I can find a "sponsor" to donate some lanyards for these in exchange for their logo on the back? Tag any companies you'd like to see on it!
#badgelife
alright y'all,
#defcon
is only like 2 months away, so the
@veilid
SAOs are going live! A portion of the profits from these will go directly to Veilid and support taking back control!
I posted a bit ago about hosting a fox hunt for
@BSidesTampa
but I wanted to keep the details a secret until I had everything validated, so heres the twist: I've made three foxes. The first person to find each one gets to keep it!
#badgelife
?
I know I said that LHC addon was my last
#badgelife
announcement but apparently I lied… as I’ve mentioned previously, for
#defcon
I’ll have duckbutt SAOs in red, but now I’ll also have a limited number in purple and just 5 in uber black with a blinky red beak instead of orange.
I got the new fox boards and parts in, so production has started. Once the batteries arrive, these will get posted on tindie!
Want to win one early? rot13labs will be attending
@BsidesORL
and will be hosting another fox hunt! 146.565 First to find it gets to keep it! good luck!
I wish I could say I had some noble reason for making this, but its really just that watching
@notshenetworks
continue to tear
@stardusttracker
apart for their security theater has made my week.
Fully built badUSB earrings are back in stock, along with the new PCB compass rose earrings. The photos don't really show all of the detail, but I think they came out great!
Do these count as
#badgelife
? or just
#hackerjewelry
?
Defcon was awesome this year. It was great to see old friends again and meet so many new ones. It’s truly sad to hear defcon31 had to be cancelled so soon after it was announced.
Here's the complete set of
@BSidesTampa
PCB badges from this year! Some of the detail is definitely lost in photos but I think they turned out amazing!
I wanted to make sure everything looked good on these before sharing, but here’s the 2024 rot13labs fox! This year’s foxes use an integrated antenna but still put out some big power. We’ll drop one each day of the con on 146.565 - first one to find it gets to keep it!
Was getting a bit worried this lil project wouldn’t get done in time but tonight’s test was a big success! It’s on like Donkey Kong! Or some other classic game character…?
Finally got a chance to restock the functional badUSB earrings in my shop! I also added options for a single earring and a new keychain option for those without their ears pierced!

Alright, last hardware post for a bit. I had so much fun passing out the free hacker challenge keychains last year that I figured I'd make another one for DC30. 4 levels, solving each challenge will unlock the next.
#badgelife
related? i guess? whatever.
The art didn't come out quite as good as the rendering, but they work well! These BadUSB earrings will be coming to my store as soon as I can get the rest of them soldered and programmed.
Was getting a bit worried this lil project wouldn’t get done in time but tonight’s test was a big success! It’s on like Donkey Kong! Or some other classic game character…?
I ordered another mini run of the encrypted wall badge boards and parts with rush shipping to build some more kits before DC. Y’all are about to be so disappointed. I promise you this is the lamest badge ever designed.
This weeks been wild; I got promoted to senior security engineer the other day. to celebrate I decided to YOLO the AWS Security exam, so now I’m a certified AWS Security Specialist!
I should be getting some new parts in today, so expect some new things soon! In the meantime, to clear out some space, I'm doing 20% off all earrings in my shop this week!
So what does it do? Exactly what its name implies; it hacks out of its butt. It's eyes flash red if you put in the included 2032, but let's be honest, hacking from butts is the part we call care about.
y'all over here getting angry about this; im stoked. Now we know its value! Now we can objectively say that the

@S0ufi4n3
I like that one of them went the extra mile and added a 4 onto their password. we need more thought leaders like them who think outside the box.
Not long till
@DEFCON
so I think its about time to drop some party hints..?

Huge props to

on this seriously incredible badge! Mine has of course already been hijacked by my daughter but I guess that just means she can get into

too
But what does it DO? wireless trolling.
Specifically, when you first turn it on, it will scan for any and all nearby wifi networks and store their SSIDs. It will then perform a beacon attack against the SSIDs it found, broadcasting false packets for those networks.
Delight your friends and loved ones this holiday season with our new hackbutt Christmas tree ornaments!
Nothing says Christmas like dickbutt.
The prototypes are working well so these should be showing up in my tindie store sometime soon.
I'll be posting the first drop from this final round of foxes to my tindie store later tonight - theres 28 foxes in this batch and my store claims theres a wait list of 28... these may go very quickly. 😬
#badgelife
Those of you who've been following my work for a bit know that I love doing super limited versions of my badges, and this one is no different. There are 5 "inverted" trolls made on black PCBs, red SAOs, black lanyards, and much larger batteries for longer trolling sessions.

So how can you get your hands on one of these incredible artists series foxes?? You've gotta find them! We'll be hiding one fox somewhere around
#defcon
each day; first one to find the fox gets to keep it! All foxes will be running on 146.565, so bring your radios!
Btw to anybody I annoyed at

fox's running, sorry not sorry, it was fun being a decoy and having that active in my backpack while I played pinball :)
Expect more shenanigans in vegas
@_Freakyclown_
flash drives, SD cards, etc. are all the same way. they make one size and then block out the bad sectors and have it report a smaller size via firmware.
This "reporting the size via firmware" is also how AliExpress can sell 12TB microSD cards for $10🤣
So what additional features does it have to enable? One of the features that can be set from the serial console is wardriver trolling mode where the Troll badge will generate random SSIDs and broadcast them making your location seem like a crazy, wifi packed, mad house.
The first thing you'll probably notice is that it comes with a lot. It's the badge, the "Deal With It" SAO, USB-C cable, some stickers, instruction card, and lanyard, all packaged up neatly in a soft case thats sure to confused TSA in the best possible way.
If you want to get your hands on one of these super limited inverted trolls you'll have to stay tuned... one of them has already been passed off to
@BsidesORL
for their yearly bake sale, so be sure to follow them as well!
Alright y'all, im bringing an MtG deck. If you want to play a quick game just ask; ill have my deck on me most of the time. If you can beat me ill give you something cool*!
(* it'll probably just be a duck)
I do this thing all the time where I design a new thing, get a prototype made, give it to friends or whatever, and then I just forget about it and move onto the next thing. Does anyone else do this?? Anyways, here's Duckbutt. I'll probably never do anything with it. 🤷
Is it too early to start dropping teasers for all of the weird
#badgelife
shit I'm making for
@defcon
30? Follow me for some teasers soon cause I have the patience of a child when I'm excited about stuff.
Set aside the soldering iron for a few days and made a treasure chest. It's got a combination lock in the front so I can hide puzzles for my daughter to solve to unlock the chest and find some treasure (toys or candy or whatever, I don't know yet)
There's plenty more to discover as you tinker with it, but now onto the burning question; where can you get one? These are going to be a
@CyberSwamplords
vendor booth exclusive; so if you want one, you gotta come visit us! The cost will be $75
Ive seen a lot of posts about things to pack for
@defcon
lately, so here is my personal list. its not super extensive and obviously skips over anything standard like deodorant/toothbrush/clothes/etc but hopefully someone out there finds it helpful. 🧵
y'all this trip was nuts. I had an absolutely blast hanging out with y'all. It was great to see old friends again and meet tons of new ones.
Once I've got time to recover and relax a bit I'll post the full rot13labs transparency report for our trip...
Finally home! What a crazy 9 days (🧵):
- 2400 mile road trip w/
@c0ldbru
moving inventory across 11 states
- Wardrove Hoover Dam and gave SAOs to security
- Finally made it to DC Shoot
- Created/Successfully deployed a DEF CON challenge game with 30000 unique codes
While digging around in my closet I found a stack of DC30 keychain boards and a handful of parts! 🙌
I’ll solder these up and program them today. The next 10-15 orders or so from my shop will get one included for free! If you missed out at DC30 here’s you chance to snag one!
Final day! This is everything we have left! 2 jolly badges, 13 troll badges, ONE h4ckb0ard, 4 t-shirts, and a handful of Veilid SAOs. We also have a few incomplete duck SAO kits if anyone wants partials!

Only $30 to be the most annoying person at DEFCON

Alright y’all; I just hit go on the collectors edition hackbutts so once they get approved they’ll be up for sale on tindie! There’s only going to be 5 of these limited edition purple ones but the standard black ones should be coming soon.
#badgelife
Installed a tiny door today so the garage goblins posing as cats can come and go as they please.
I can’t be the only one on here who buys ridiculous junk like this for their kitties.
