Taking inspiration from my wonderful friend @jaysonstreet.bsky.social I'm celebrating a successful @pancakescon.com Hardware Hacking Village with some ice cream. Shout out to @se.gfau.lt @ednas.bsky.social and @techgirlmn.bsky.social for their help and presentations.

I wrote a short blog post about @pancakescon.com.

I so appreciate being able to be a part of this year's con. So many great people coming together to make it happen!! Y'all are the truly amazing ones.

Really good stuff this year! Thankful for all of you!

Thank you for attending #PancakesCon this year. I know the schedule change was rough, and we had an incredibly crew of volunteers, speakers, and village organizers who put up with that. Our talks will be posted over the next few weeks, and we really hope you had an amazing time and learned a lot.

Our final keynote, the amazing @alyssam-infosec.com will be speaking in a few minutes. Track 2 will be closing, and it will be streamed on Track 1 followed by our closing remarks and CTF awards! Thank you for attending #pancakescon and @comfyconau.bsky.social today!

Dear all ~60 of my followers. If you've never attended a Con before...PancakesCon should be your first. It isn't all security geek stuff, the speakers also present a personal skill or experience. All for the low low price of no dollars and no cents. So what are ya waiting on?

Your next hard decision at #PancakesCon is whether to watch "Career Planning in an Era of Layoffs and Storygames" or "Hacking the OSCP & the Practice of Zen Meditation" (or joining Hardware village, or Lockpick Village, or the CTF programs, or getting your resume reviewed, or doing a TimTam Slam,)

I haven’t been to a hacker con since @cactuscon.com when it was fully remote during the height of the pandemic. I’m stoked to break that dry spell this weekend with @pancakescon.com. I can often be sort of a solitary being, but I feel like now there is a need for community more than ever.

We have some -incredible- villages this year. They are all totally free and volunteer-run. From our Slack you can join Lockpick Village, Hardware Hacking Village, CTF Learning Village, and our CTF (which has an awesome grand prize). pancakescon.com/villages-2/
