I think i might just be in my guanjunx era. My workbench is covered with junk from guangzhou.

In a sea of nonsense brand names - Is this a marketing genius with a knack for self-deprecating humor from Guangzhou? or a drop shipper who's just honest about the origin and quality of their goods?
As I finalize the content for my new class on firmware security, I'd like to know: what questions do you have, or do you think that I should be answering in this course? Let me know here, or submit something anonymous at forms.gle/6oeiFHihBkVs...
I've got a brand new class in the works!
Applied Physical Defenses: Secure Boot and Encrypted Firmware
The first time I offer this class will be
@blackhatevents.bsky.social in Singapore on April 21-22, more offerings coming soon.

The treachery of images by Rene Magritte, a painting of a pipe that says "this is not a pipe" in french, hangs on the wall in a museum while a hand holds up a sticker saying "this is not a sticker"
Post - #supercon sightseeing, I did not go to LACMA expecting to see this, but was glad I had stickers in my pocket a the time...
3) in response to some comments, 'fusing off' the 64 bit isa doesn't mean there's an unused 64 but data path on silicon... it's merely disabling the decoding of amd64 opcodes into the uops that are actually executed on the existing execution units.
2) it was hilarious the number of senior folks inside Intel who genuinely believed AMD copied amd64 from Intel. As an employee it was an effective way to tell apart the folks who had technical merit vs the folks who just got promoted for drinking the coolaid
Awesome post, thanks for cataloging all that. A few thoughts:
1) ia64/itanium was actually an incredible success if you measure it not by sales but by it completely neutralizing all the RISC alternatives (which of course may have also happened without itanium, but it definitely helped)
#FTSCon Speaker Spotlight: Joe FitzPatrick (@securelyfitz.bsky.social) is presenting “Rethinking DMA Attacks with Erebus” in the MAKER track.

hey! Thanks for the video since i couldn't be in there for it.
I'm not sure if you heard it, but over in track two, we all yelled out "Great Talk Micah" at the same time hoping you'd hear it. I think the last second of your video captured the "Great Tal..." of it!

@notnextjen.bsky.social tops the list of people who have enabled me to grow as a person & professional. She’s the best person to strategically work towards company goals while effortlessly handling the gnarliest security crisis comms. Hire Jennifer Wood if you “take security very seriously.”
Thanks @securelyfitz.bsky.social for not only supporting @blackhoodie.bsky.social with words but also donating **hardware** (all students got a hardware hacking kit which incl. Tigard, Bitmagic, and various cool tools) and helping us carry boxes, setting up the workstations, and cleaning up!!
implemented a script for #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer that lets you discover the connectivity of any IC with JTAG boundary scan, provided you can give the IC an arbitrary stimulus (here done by using a glasgow output connected to a needle point probe)
and now i notice the typo...
"brace yourself" meme with the text "Brace Yourself! This cyber monday we have saving so big.... that telling you about them is a transactional communication exempted by the can-spam act from your prior opt-out"
This was at the Cyber Crime Gala - meme warfare edition, at labscon in sept. I got a second run of it on Halloween at hackaday supercon.
i see a grain of rice in there!
Lol. Sometimes @dcuthbert.bsky.social scares me.
Yeah, hauling the PnP machine to vegas was a pain but well worth it. Thank goodness for small desktop-sized machines. My favorite part was taking a picture of 6 people all standing around taking video of it assembling their boards.
I'm most excited about the rapid prototyping/hardware implants classed, because I updated them and I'm going to bring a pick&place machine to help assemble the implants we build.
My first post!
I've enjoyed the social media cleanse since stopping twitter use in November, but went back today to try and monetize the platform by pitching training.
I've got 4 classes coming up at Black Hat, early reg ends friday:
