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

Having fun soldering all teh things at #hardpwn this year! Stop by and say "hi"! You might even see a microsoldering demo or two 😉.

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

at @hardwear_io and public viewing by the rest of the people one room further
We're nearing the end of the second day here at @hardwear_io and decided to live stream some microsoldering I've been doing!

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? 🖊️". – at Austin, TX
You never can just install open-source programs for testing. No, that would be too easy. You always have to fix them first.

Pixel Watch teardown by @thingmakerQ at @hardwear_io. Look how tiny it is!!
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.

When you've been asked to hack some hardware thing and suddenly realize you have all the tools required right there in your toolkit. 🏴☠️🛠️

OH MY GOD FINALLY SOMEONE HACKED THIS DUMB AS HELL IDEA
Researchers Hacked California's Digital License Plates, Gaining Access to GPS Location and User Info dlvr.it/SgdGpG
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.
