#hardwarehacking #hackers, what third-hand do you most use?
You can now turn your old smartphone into a pocket cyberdeck. Because why not
This is a Google Pixel 3 XL, but I don't see why this can't be modified to fit another mobile. The case is 3D printed and it's running Kali Nethunter
On that note, you should probably look into waterproofing your projects if they're going outdoors
For obvious reasons
I usually go by good old clear nail polish. But there are other options
Speaking of #HardwareHacking, there's a great, slow and steady, tutorial on creating a #KiCAD project from scratch. It's a TCAL9539 breakout, but can be applied to most other projects you may be working on
Best of all, it goes through the library creation process, which lets you reuse your custom components/layouts elsewhere
This was, and IMHO still is, the best tutorial to get started with KiCAD. Mostly because it gets to the basics very quickly, yet clearly, and it's relatively recent so the approach still works with few changes in 9.0, even though the video is for 7
Hardware Happy Hour Portland (Teardown 2025 edition) is this Thursday, June 19th, 06:30 PM - 11:00 PM, at McMenamins on Broadway with @crowdsupply and @helenleigh https://www.crowdsupply.com/events/2025/6/19/hardware-happy-hour-portland-teardown-2025 #portland #pdx #hardware #hardwarehacking #teardown2025
There's a pretty nice ongoing #hardwarehacking project called the Evertop
"an ultra lower power, ultra long battery solar PC"
https://github.com/ericjenott/Evertop
Runs off an ESP32 with an e-Ink display and has a solar panel on the back.
"Evertop is a portable PC that emulates an IBM XT with an 80186 processor and 1MB RAM. It can run DOS, Minix, and some other old 1980s operating systems."
"Runs almost all IBM PC/XT compatible DOS software from the 1980s and early 90s."

Two days until #BSidesBoulder25 and only 15 tickets remain! Today we highlight, two #BSidesBoulder25 talks: Andrew Brandt's "Smashing Smishing by Quashing Quishing" and Eric Harashevsky's "Firmware Readout Bypass in STM92 (Don't put this in an alarm control panel).
Andrew's talk will examine QR-based phishing attacks, how attackers are exploiting QR codes and SMS to steal credentials and MFA tokens, and how a cross-industry collaboration between mobile vendors, telcos, and the infosec community could finally slam the door on mobile phishing. Think SafeBrowsing, but for QR scans! And we promise that our BSidesBoulder event QR codes will not redirect you to an Andrew-controlled C2 server.
Eric's talk will explore his adventure tinkering with an old STM92's firmware - the talk will explore his findings, reverse engineering the legacy microcontroller, bypassing firmware protections, and what that means for devices still hanging on your wall! Expect a live demo that is sure to excite your future hardware hacking journey.

Looking for aspiring Linux hardware and software hackers to work on NFC-F/FeliCa (Secure NFC) support in Linux! We're interested!
Imagine Linux emulating transit cards— also logging into SEGA (Aime), Namco (BaNaPassPort), Konami (e-Amusement) arcade games!
Join us @hq and let's turn Linux phones into transit (or arcade) cards! Let's ride the train, on Linux! #nfc #nfcf #felica #linux #hardwarehacking
I am proud to announce that I will be presenting at @nola_con next week! I hope to see you all there!
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.

Does anyone have experience trying to get a 1992 Apple PowerBook 160 online? #hardwarehacking #apple #macOS #retrohardware
Wait, the first generation Apple TV can actually boot Windows XP now??

Hmmmm... I think the last part of the spell I need to do some *extremely* cursed things to the Apple TV has been revealed!
Let's try a certain cursed Linux distro on it, shall we??
