I wanted to say thank you to Northsec's incredible soldering village and badge team for their overwhelming dedication. I said it at the closing ceremony and will say it again: Northsec's #badgelife is only possible because they are involved. Thank you again for making it spectacular.

Post-northesec, i slept 11 hours 😁

If you don't want to keep your badge, you may return it at the entrance front desk

I may or may not be responsible 😁

Damn I love cybersecurity conferences 😂

The screen was showing garbage. A subset of screen our supplier provided didn't like the i2c channel risetime (pullups integrated). A solution was to add resistors in parallel to tighten the risetime. That fixed this particular problem. So we thought it would be cute to have little bandaid PCBs 🩹

Some of you might have seen some badges with a "bandaid" SAO. There is a story behind that. The failure rate of the OLED screen was incredibly high this year. It lead to a overall badge defect rate of ~13%. (1/2)

Reminder that you can take a break and do an SAO at the soldering village. 3 types of SAO remaining

#northsec's CVSS Bonsecours is departing soon ⛴️
