My insightful end of year summary for 2024 - Hack the planet.

In cyber, are there many uses for a scanning electron microscope outside of IC reversing?

Creative Electron X-ray machines can now be upgraded to CT (aka 3d). This would be a cool addition to our lab machine at @infosectcbr which currently only does standard 2d X-ray media.creativeelectron.com/unlock-ct-po...

I have seen that my number of followers in this social network has grown a little bit :) Let's talk a bit about me! This year I obtained a PhD in computer science by UC3M, and I work as a compiler engineer at Quarkslab. I practice Karate and BJJ on my free time. I speak Spanish, English and Japanese

Had a vendor demo given at @infosectcbr.bsky.social of the new 3rd generation mantis microscope by vision engineering. Looked pretty good!

At #Pwn2Own Ireland, our team successfully exploited vulnerabilities in the Lorex 2K Indoor WiFi Camera. Check out our blog for the full technical breakdown: blog.infosectcbr.com.au/2024/12/expl...

A better classroom and engagement space is on the horizon 🙌

We’ve come so far ✨

We got the keys for the new addition to @infosectcbr.bsky.social . The fit out is expected to take a few months. @kyliemcdevitt.bsky.social
