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.

Two people dressed in femme outfits leaning in opposite directions each helping two younger kids with a soldering project on folding tables outdoors in a pop-up tent. Behind them hang colorful posters talking about electronics.
A woman in an aesthetic outfit is standing in front of a large group of colorfully dressed people showing off something on an iPad. Behind her are various glowing LED projects.
A glowing blue tent with a rainbow sign at the top that says "There U Glow" at the top has green overlayed text. The text reads "An all femme and queer founded, designed and run electronics camp in Portland, Oregon We are aggressively grassroots and rudely dedicated to femme folks who are freshly interested and/or fiercely expert in technical skill. We kick ass and open our source in equal measure. Keep track, we won’t stop." At the bottom is "www.thereuglow.club"

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.

Rectangular rug with two motorized cat toys in the middle. The toys consist of a white circular base with a small rotating turret in the middle from which two stiff wires project, one up, and one straight out to the side. Various feather and fur "targets" are attached to the ends of the wires that the cat can stalk and catch as they move.

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.
