Call for flash-chips at DEF CON! If you have leftover or rare SPI flash-chips that I can have for testing some tooling I’m building I’d be very thankful. Also if you have devices where you had trouble dumping in-system I’d love to give it a try. I’ll be at Embedded Systems Village :)

DigiKey goes brrrrrrrt

Why do so many aspects of my life involve connecting FT232s to random pins 😂

Finally, ClimateGPT✨

AMA request: The person that keeps uploading 64MB text-files to the Black Hat CFP

Does someone know whether it's possible to get recorded traces from a Rigol DHO800/900 using SCPI? :RECord:WREPlay:FCURrent 2 :WAV:DATA? ...does not seem to work

Having some fun with EM measurements today - side-channels are awesome!

Wanted to slightly warm up the chip with a heat-lamp and ended up melting the jumper-wires 🔥😅

Okay going to have @liveoverflow.bsky.social make all silkscreens for me going forward :D

Wow modern cars suck. A relay is not opening/closing reliably. The relay is epoxied into a PCB assembly. Replacement cost for the 5EUR (being generous here) relay is 400EUR because you can only buy the entire assembly.

Are you teaching or warning?

Business idea: Amazon but with original products instead of counterfeit ones. Pretty sure there’s a market there.

Dared to call German customs, was starting to describe my situation (nicely) and immediately got interrupted and yelled at. Wow.

The German customs system is so hopelessly broken... It's faster to send something from the UK to Finland, import it there, and then forward it to Germany than trying to import something from the UK to Germany directly.

Electronic music or something, idk I'm not a DJ

Looks like Garmin released an update causing a boot loop, how nice of them to celebrate the return of Pebble like that 😊

This afternoon I asked Ole about a bug with Frida & iOS simulator. 2 hours later he had a fix committed and just now he published a new release including the fix ❤️ Absolute legend, thanks for everything you do. frida.re/news/2025/01...

Reason 516 why you should work with lasers: You get to wear cool sunglasses all day 😎

Me: Today I’ll go to bed early! My fuzzer just before bedtime:

Finally giving backside IR imaging a try

Waking up to fresh microscope parts 🥰

Wow, some of the articles on my ACE3 research are so bad... No, you are not facing any "new security risks" because of the "critical USB component"

Does anyone have a live-build config that successfully generates an Arm64 Ubuntu image?

Tried to get an appointment to get a new national ID. Now I have three vulns in their webapp and still no appointment. 😐

Moxa must be banned in all critical infrastructure. Probably the least responsible player in the industry.

Does someone happen to have a copy of the tangara-hw git repo and could push it to Github? The official repo is 502ing right now git.sr.ht/~jacqueline/...

Randomly found these cool 3D printable probes by for the Omnifixo that use a jumper-wire as probing needle. Especially the version with the 5 cent coins as weight works great! Might have to make a version with pogo pins :) Awesome work, IsTim! makerworld.com/en/models/51...

If you find me at #38c3 I have stickers, TPM sniffer PCBs and our small NFC soldering channel to give away :)

In 50 minutes I’ll present some awesome hardware hacking on Apple’s new USB-C controller at #38c3 - would love to see you there!

General wisdom: Ca. 2 minutes per slide Me: 353 slides for a 40 minute presentation🥸

Looking through the schedule of #38c3 which starts tomorrow. Some talks I’ll be watching the streams for this year: ACE up the sleeve: Hacking into Apple's new USB-C Controller fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/202... Liberating Wi-Fi on the ESP32 fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/202...

Could someone bring/lend me a Nokia BP-5L battery for #38c3 ? Looks like mine is dead 🥲 (Also looking for a 5.7V Nokia charger but seems like the battery is the actual issue)

Peak iconography

Dear YouTube, believe it or not, I speak two languages fluently, you don't have to keep badly translating German videos to English...

Call for SPI flashes at #38C3 I'm developing some SPI-flash tools and want to try a variety of devices and flash chips for testing. Got devices where it's tricky to dump in-system or rare flash chips? I'd love to test them at #38c3 if you can bring them!

I want a Zoom taximeter that shows in realtime how expensive a meeting is

TIL: Sony's face-detect autofocus recognizes gingerbread men!🎄

How do these (trivial to detect) DocuSign scams keep getting inboxed on gmail?

Oh nice, my Binary Ninja Wrapped 2024 is in!!

New car smell doesn't stand a chance against new PCB smell

Does any mainstream flash-chip actually implement JEP106 continuation?

Stop. Truncating. Hashes. www.phoronix.com/news/OpenWrt...

Is there a SPI flash programmer/reader that measures whether it's actually driving the lines or if something else is keeping the bus busy? (This is pretty useful when dumping flash in-system)

Have I become too predictable?

It's not a bodge, it's just space efficient layouting😇

Can someone send me the (untruncated) output of ioreg on an M4 (Standard/Pro/Max) MacBook/Mac Mini?

Pretty excited about this one... Finally got around designing and building something I wanted to have for years!

I don't understand this captcha - what am I supposed to do?!

Pretty convinced that SAP Ariba is running on a Raspberry Pi 1 in someone's closet. How else can such an important tool be so slow.
