Some numbers. $2,500 is left on our fundraiser. We're halfway. I'd freaking love to hit that.

But if we can't, bare-bones I need $300 for a generator rental (we are off-grid and fully self-powered. More funds and I'll do bigger solar this gear), $100 for educational decor, and I pulled $700 from my (meager) savings for poorer campers already.

$1,100 would do a LOT.

So the DEFCON 32 badge can be repurposed into a hardware hacking multi-tool. I flashed the custom firmware FREE-WILi created for the badge. It is limited since I don’t have all available GPIO pins that the Raspberry Pico does but do have some, USB serial, and I2C control. It seems like a bus pirate variant maybe? Someone with actual hardware hacking experience can correct me on that.

My cat Susy LOVES her rechargable, motorized cat toys seen in the pic. But I've now had to repair both of them. Tonight was the smaller (and also newer) one at the top. Both have now had their gearmotors replaced with new ones I found on Ebay. The new motors appear identical, but are MUCH quieter than the originals, which is nice since they can turn on in the middle of the night.

When IT troubleshooting skills meet hardware hacking skills meet home appliance repair, you end up with $40 on replacement board components, 3 hours of research, 8 hours of physical troubleshooting, 4 hours with the old man probing said board at the component level to make a janky schematic, 10 hours of imposter syndrome, 5 days waiting for items to ship literally from the other side of the country, janky things with mains voltage...

All leading to this: a 10K resistor out of an arduino learning kit in a wiring harness to emulate a (now confirmed) busted sensor to confirm that said sensor was the cluprit.

Was it worth it? #hellyes Paying some guy $120/hour doesn't give you this sort of high that can last you a lifetime.

Public disclosure was made today so finally I can talk about how I managed to get full access to the Minut M2 IoT device. There will also be a video series, first episode linked below.

The Minut devices (M3 is their newest, my exploit was for the M2) are most often used by short-term rental hosts and before the vendor released new firmware based in my findings there was a real possibility not only that guests could misbehave without the host knowing about it (the product promise) but also that a guest could persist surveillance of any future guests.

Kudos to Minut for having been excellent to work with and amazingly fast at reacting to my report.
