Congratulations @se.gfau.lt on hitting 3M and top 3 in the HHB @wiglenet.bsky.social group!

Seven and a half hour #wardrive run with three @jhewitt.net units. Turning OFF the BlueTooth scanning really boosts the WiFi finds! SignalSleuth 5G w/BLE off - 25,000 APs in file JHewitt 5G mod w/BLE on - 20,100 APs WiSpy original - 14,678 APs @wiglenet.bsky.social #allTheWiFi

Panda and I are representing @hardhat.rocks at @BSidesJax today. We have our hard hats and are out here each running a CTF event. I've got stickers if anyone wants one 😊

He has been found safe!

In honor of #hhb24wigle and @hardhat.rocks I pour a #bisselBrosBrew Umbra oatmeal #stout Had one in Portland Maine during last year’s event! Big malty roasty lead, smooth body with a lasting bitter back note. A good walk-about sipper #letItWarm #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #beer #bSkyBeer

While we wait for the queue to catch up, drop your pics and stories, tips and tricks, or things you learned during this years 24 Hours of HHB. Add the tag #HHB24Wigle so we can make sure to see them.

Speaking of movement on the scoreboard - looks like some of you all waited until the last minute to upload and reshuffled things a little 👀 The anticipation! #HHB24Wigle

Thanks all for the impetus to #wardrive and the community and @wiglenet.bsky.social for the good times. Still waiting for the queue to fully drain, my last file is just about to finish Final Stats status! #allTheWifi

Post event pulse check on Wigle.... Looks like the fires are still burning! 🔥🔥🔥 Stay tuned as we continue to see scoreboard movement as the queue clears. #HHB24Wigle 👷🏽‍♂️👷🏽👷🏽‍♀️💯

That's a wrap - Thank you all for participating! And thanks again to @wiglenet.bsky.social for supplying the platform. This is the scoreboard as of this moment, but judging by the queue it will be quite awhile before getting final results. Get some rest and check back soon! #HHB24Wigle

2000 Pacific Time Update ** 4 Hours to go! ** We broke 100k new! The queue is having to dig deep, and the list of participants is growing. Every new AP counts - #AllTheWiFi GET YOUR UPLOADS IN! #HHB24Wigle

Last captures for #hhb24wigle have been uploaded. S20 and Pixel6 #warboat wasn’t a huge loop, we’ll see what they do inside an iron tube in the dark! #allTheWifi #wardrive @wiglenet.bsky.social @hardhat.rocks

Now that the queue is chewing through more uploads, the board is shifting around as we are now just shy of 8 hours left in the #HHB24Wigle event. Upload early and often :-) Next update will be around 8 PM Pacific. (We are wardrivers too!)

Second @wiglenet.bsky.social uploads in the queue. So many “New Homes starting in the low 600s/800s" build areas to my east. Bet they got the really good #wifi :) Shifting to #warBoat on the St. Croix - phones only, gotta keep a hand free for wine! #allTheWifi #hhb24wigle #wardrive @hardhat.rocks

Let's all pause for a minute and thank @wiglenet.bsky.social for their service and allowing us to smash their servers. Without their hard work and dedication, this would not happen. ♥️👷🏽‍♂️👷🏽‍♀️👷🏽💯♥️ Reply with your love for them and buy some of their merch : www.cafepress.com/shop/wiglenet #HHB24Wigle

Guess some of you got the message about uploading! :-)

We are at the halfway point and results are starting to come in - 0WL has taken a commanding lead with some early uploads! The @wiglenet queue is cooking along as we expected - upload throughout the day! Remember to tag #HHB24Wigle and HAVE FUN BE SAFE ♥️👷🏽‍♂️👷🏽‍♀️

Just dropped my first batch, in queue for the @wiglenet.bsky.social kittens to chew on. S9, S10, S20, Pixel6 and 3 Jhewitts in tow The S10 completely borked its WiFi somewhere early in the run so we’ll see how its relatives do! #allTheWifi #hhb24wigle #wardrive @hardhat.rocks

@hardhat.rocks Does this make me a member now? @spikeroche.bsky.social and I have been busy repping at @bsidesorl.bsky.social!

If someone tells you you shouldn’t be stupid, don’t listen to them. Great things can happen if you ignore them. I’m using my Pi as a display for a Winamp skin which connects to my computer through the headphone jack which then plays the music to my earbuds. It’s amazing.

Let's just say Google Earth was NOT happy loading an 84 megabyte KML file. Second segment tour drive, about 7 days of constant #wardrive action on a #signalSleuth, 100,000+ samples Segment1 is a 202 meg KML, not gonna bother :) #allTheWifi #wardrive @[email protected]

If you need some background tunes and a cat to get you through work today, I got you! One more recorded set at the old studio to go after this one! 64 minutes of frantic DNB madness. 7.26.25 EMP Drum and bass power hour mix session: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ7I... #defcon #twitch #drumandbass #cats

Not even into VCFMW yet and saw this amazing hat courtesy of @hardhat.rocks! Very awesome!

Made a few more minor tweaks but I think this updated version will go up on Printables soon. I have the latest version on the print bed right now, just need to resolder some wires I broke after so many test fits.

Happy birthday @wiglenet.bsky.social ! 🎂 Thank you for all you do. 24 years is a long time!

AMAZING 😍

I picked up these beauts out of someone's garage. I'm ready to go on a red teaming exercise in 1976 or maybe figure out a non-destructive way to use one at the next DEF CON. @hardhat.rocks

One part done. And a fluffy helper joined me. This might be a lot longer than I was hoping. #hardhatbrigade #defcon

The photos I shot for @defcon.bsky.social 33 are up! I wanted to thank the team for all the hours and miles they put in! ASTCell, Silk, Gourry, AJ702, and M0nkeyDrag0n. If you wish to rescind consent for your photo please let me know. www.flickr.com/photos/r6_ca...

@defcon.bsky.social 2025 is a wrap - happy to see all the hats even if only in passing. ❤️ You all are the best! 👷🏽‍♂️👷‍♀️ Watch our socials for updates and changes for next year!
