Meanwhile, at @hardwear_io, hardware hackers attached a turret gun to a robot dog and used it to terrorize the other hackers.

Hey @GoogleVRP and @hardwear_io
I propose that @thingmakerQ (who helped everyone with crazy soldering skills) and @dgi_DE (who brought a shitton of hardware/tools which people borrowed more than hwio stuff)
should get included in every bug bounty by default

πA huge shoutout to the #HardPwn team of π§ volunteers & @GoogleVRP for providing the #hardware devices to be hacked fearlessly & to make them even more secure

We're nearing the end of the second day here at @hardwear_io and decided to live stream some microsoldering I've been doing!

A short in my new GPU π₯ my PC so I'm rebuilding from scratch. The new motherboard wouldn't post. After troubleshooting I called @asus. Turns out it requires a BIOS update to run the CPU. Can't update if it won't post. They want me to ship it back for the update. π€¦ββοΈ

I told somebody I was "pen testing a Bluetooth device". They apparently told that to a colleague; who minutes later asked me, "Are you testing Bluetooth pens? ποΈ".

You never can just install open-source programs for testing. No, that would be too easy. You always have to fix them first.
I'm looking at you, #Ubertooth... π

I've been talking about this for years now! If you've attended an IoT security talk of mine you've heard me say this. Medical IoT - where a device is on or in your body and also on the internet - is often developed with little to no security testing.

This is why bug bounty programs are such a great idea. Having a third party do security testing over a short period of time is not going to find everything.
