A lot of folks saying it's fake, but that's not entirely accurate.
I used to work as a manager at a Domino's Pizza. This was rolling out after I left, but my old GM let me make some pizzas while visiting my hometown a while back.
It runs on a system called PULSE -
My current set will become a spare bedroom / Sailor Moon collection room once my unfinished basement is dry walled and finished.
My basement walls... shall be pink and purple. With more sparkly things. I’m inspired now, gotta make it happen in 2021.
This weekend we lost Kevin Mitnick to cancer 😥. Haven't talked to the guy since pre-'vid, but he was one of the few old school hackers who never doubted me and my quest to keep learning. Thanks for always being so kind to me over the years. 💕
Caesars Honeywell thermostat hack.
This disables the room occupancy sensor and lets you lower the min temp.
I saved it in my travel

Press "off"
Then hit the "Up" arrow
Then release "display" button
Posting highly technical videos is so tiresome. Every one of them has a huge influx in critics who wanna burn every choice I make to the ground. it's always the "I work in network infrastructure. This video is wrong" guys. I built a 15U rack, not a server room for a bank. Gfto.😂

!!! I will be in the vendor hall most of the time with the
@Hak5
crew. If you see my please say hi! I'm thrilled to see everyone again!
Fyi I'm terrible at remembering names especially when folks are masked!!
I'm sick of the whole security absolutionist vibe.
I can't be this thing that you want me to be.
I love using my Google products, I don't want to de-google anything. I love my iot products. I like speaking to a home speaker. I love Android auto. I grew up using Windows.
My brothers flight tomorrow got cancelled and my grandma's HEART SURGERY is pushed back by over a month, so Crowdstrike is officially on my list of companies that I will never, ever recommend. I'm pissed.

Hey Mat, Shannon from your GameLab Watchdogs vid here. I highly suggest meeting your local police department cops and discussing your job with them. I did this and told them where I live and educated them on swatting. Wouldn't help w/ wrong address, but does help them understand.
The basement will be my new studio, the FINAL studio. It’s going to be fully customized by me, down to the Ethernet outlets placement. I can’t wait 😜
It’s going to be HEAVILY inspired by my favorite colors, kawaii anime, and sparkle. I am a rainbow colored unicorn.
I need to tell y’all how fucking shitty, uncomfortable, and uneasy I feel right now because the man who has been working on our basement drywall decided to send me an unsolicited selfie tonight?! He had my number so I could unlock the door for him whenever he was working.
Your daily reminder that women in geek and tech culture are asked to work harder to prove themselves and assumed to be appropriating instead of actually having a passion for what is perceived as mens hobbies.
Nah. I don't need to prove anything to you.
It’s true though,
@YouTube
is doing the world a disservice by banning or flagging channels that teach hacking.
Hacking, at its core, is not a criminal act. And YouTube needs to stop forcing educators to move to different platforms.
@YouTubeCreators
So uh, I found these papers just laying around and totally forgot about them til today. I'm sharing because I think we should give them some updated graphics and maybe a few better pro tips? 🤣 Looks to be internal hotel docs.

I kinda laugh whenever someone tries to diss me in the comments by disliking my hair color 🤣
Like I've been coloring my hair the full spectrum of the rainbow since 2014. I would've went back to brown a long time ago if I cared what some dude on the internet thought.
I'm officially on vacation! If I don't respond to DMs, emails, or comments, this is why. If anyone starts demanding my attention I'll send you this tweet. Content creators work hard and we need time off! Please respect that!
Hi friends, please consider not using ad blockers on YouTube and using YT Premium instead. My pro-privacy self hates to say it but with the way the economy is right now I'm sure many creators like me have seen a loss of income from fan-funded platforms (like Patreon).
Made my account private 😉 first time since I started this account in 2007! I'm hyper aware of my heart condition while wearing this monitor and I'm not taking any chances with my mental or physical health this year. Twitter isn't a healthy environment, but I'm not deleting it.
It's officially my birthday !!
Thank you to everyone who supports me and my crazy job! I know I don't please everyone but I always stick to my own beliefs and I think that's most important in your life above pleasing others. Shine for yourself ❤️
The DEA wants to covertly creep on protesters? Alright. First, fuck you.
Second, here's some tips from a hacker on keeping your phone safe at protests.

If everyone is working in sync and on time, then your tracker will be accurate.
But if someone is trying to game the system to make corporate believe they get everything done in record time, they can control the system to fake the times.
Southwest asking for doctors notes or considers termination of staff but how can you do that when we live in a country where people can't go to see a doctor because it's too expensive and ER visits take 4+ hours / doctors aren't available same day?
My threat model doesn't include living in the middle of a forest with an airgapped Linux laptop and a phone I built myself to make my life anti-android.
My brain works better with an assistant that's always on and an OS that never complicates my work. I need reliability.
I know some folks found me via my fire reply to a user who doesn’t understand ethical hacking. Welcome! I generally tweet about cats, sailor moon, coffee, infosec, and tech. I’m an atheist and a feminist and I like science things. 😻
If you aren't following me on Instagram ( @ snubs and @ sailorsnubs) then y'all are missing out on spicy photos like this one when I was a wee lil teenager building sites on geocities.
Infosec culture is toxic. Stop trying to tear each other down and try to focus on securing our data and building rights to privacy. Dunno about yall but that's why I got into this passion in the first place /
The quality check is just a guy cutting the pizza and putting it in the right box to put on the warmer ready for delivery or pick-up and marking it as ready.
The delivery person checks pizzas out of the system to be delivered. This is so everyone knows who is taking what delivery
Heyo, conventions should be fun and welcoming for everyone! Even though code of conducts exist, people can still do things that make us feel uncomfortable. So this message is for my fellow women going to
@defcon
- if anyone at anytime makes you feel uncomfortable...
When the product is marked as prepped, the bake process timer is always going to be the same because the pizza ovens all work the same. They have a rolling metal sheet that you place the pizza on, and it pops out the other side when it's done.
So the "bake" time is automated.
When the phone CS puts in the order, it goes to the prep line, then bake. That part is automated based on usual time.
But the prepper can control it with the keyboard under their monitor. Depending on which order they're on, they can hit a key to mark it as prepped.
Reminder that any company who believes you need a degree probably is out of touch with the reality. I graduated in 2008 from college. My university didn't even have a cyber security course.
🙃🙃🙃 Hi! Please respect Out Of Office emails/replies. If you email me Monday, Tuesday, then ask my acquaintance to text me, then try to DM me on discord… that’s not respecting a persons time off. You’re more likely to not get a response at all!
Two convos with completely different context, but both mentioned “YouTube isn’t a real job”.
Bitch I bought a house and my car is paid off, YouTube is a real job.
I hate that I constantly have to defend my security / privacy advice whenever I post a video.
Infosec dudes, stop 🛑. Y'all are so fuckin exhausting. My videos aren't for you, they are for you to send to your mom/sister/grandpa/whoever.
I obviously would never go against the wishes of the Texas government 💁♀️ but to my girl friends! I have a guest room and the ability to fly y’all up to our excellent state for a few days stay! We can go on hikes, eat on patios, and whatever else you’d be interested in!
It's really no surprise that I post a thread about how absolutely dangerous it is to be a woman in the United States, explain that I'm a privacy advocate so think surveillance is invasive, and yet men (who don't follow me) find my thread, retweet it, and call me a slut.
Someone sent me an email, worried that the ham radio call sign on my bookshelf is partially viewable in my videos.
My callsign is KM6FPP. I got my ham radio license at a hacker con.
"I love a pretty girl talking about tech" is one of my least favorite type of YouTube comments and generally leads to me shadow banning the user.
Why do you think that is?
The times will always be accurate on slow days or when corporate is visiting a store, but because dominos puts so much marketing into speed, store employees sometimes mark things as done before actually getting done. They don't want to get in trouble for slow speeds.
Since my subscribers are predominantly male, please do some cooking and cleaning not only on Thanksgiving, but everyday.
Don't make the unpaid labor of housework the woman's job in which you sometimes "help her".
YouTube Premium should be free for creators.
That's a hill I'll die on.
I shouldn't have to pay $10 a month for an ad free experience when I'm working full time to create content that the ads only pay out 1/3¢ p/ view on the same platform.
Its insulting and feels like an MLM.
A lot of "YouTube celebs" are egotistical and elitist, but no one will call them out because their fan base turns into rabid dogs on the hunt who will tear you to shreds with their herd mentality or SWAT you. Don't meet your idols.
Hey friends! There is a newly created website that basically assigns a Klout score to security researchers and conferences.
If you are hiring, please don't take it seriously. There are a lot of researchers who can't share their research due to NDAs or embargos,
Also, if your order gets messed up, there's no way to start the tracker again, so your order will be delayed even though it says it's ready.
Always a good idea to check the boxes and make sure you have your sauces and drinks before leaving.
