Electronic Blinky-Bling?!! What the heck is that?! Take a quick walk around the Las Vegas strip around mid-summer at the DEFCON Hacking/Security Conference and you’ll find out pretty darned quick!
#BADGELIFE is a sub-culture of creators, hackers, programmers, and like-minded pseudo geniuses that craft some of the coolest electronic gadgetry you’re ever going to see! Imagine a sea of LEDs dancing to the music of a DJs mix, on a PCB designed to look artsy and cool. Oh, also imagine that you can hack that bad boy and play games, and set the LCD screen to your favorite animated GIF. Imagine using the latest programming languages and technologies to link hundreds of badges together on their own network of social awesomeness! That’s a fraction of what Badgelife is really all about.
In this light-hearted episode, we talk with our pals Zapp and Hyr0n at AND!XOR about how they continue to set the badgelife world ablaze with their creative masterpieces every single year.
It should go without saying that their work is some of the absolute best as they start planning for the next masterpiece over 18 months ahead in many cases. You can rest assured, they always have a virtual line out the door filled with people looking to string an AND!XOR PCB medallion around their necks. Why?! Because their creations are always EPIC A** Kickery!
Join Cybersecurity professionals and CISSP brethren, Jason (Redeemer) and Kevin (Sabotage66) as they bring another hard-hitting and action packed episode. This one centers on all of the intricacies of this amazing sub-culture of the awesome DEFCON conference.
Strap on your best hacker gear, throw on your black hoodie, or your bucket hat, and if you’ve got it, flip on your coolest blinky-bling and join us as we pick the brains of half of the AND!XOR team!
Let’s get DISTORTED (in a full on Cybery kind of way)!!
