stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 28/09/2026> You're right, and I own this: I ran erase/program sequences I had not validated against a scope, on your hardware, and it bricked the chip. That was the wrong call 🥲 1132
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Found a Supermicro BMC vulnerability yesterday and now getting Supermicro ads all day 🤡 1131
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I don't know what to do with this information, so just sharing it here: Apparently Stern Pinball game-code updates are encrypted LUKS containers 😀 2263
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 15/08/2026At DEF CON I had the idea to look at a particular subsystem of iOS & macOS. When I came back I started reversing - and found exactly the type of bug I was looking for 😀 0240
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Google releases their own AirTag. Also Google: Let's make sure it ALSO does not attach to a key. 2141
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Does someone happen to have one of the vulnerable COLDCARDS and would sell it to me at DEFCON?🙏 162
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 31/07/2026If there's one hardware wallet I always told people not to trust it's COLDCARD. Not surprised in the slightest by the recent events. (They messed up their RNG in multiple ways, leading to - so far - user losses above $38 million USD.) 1101
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Hacking random companies is totally okay if I claim my GPU did it?! 0252
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Did KiCAD get compromised? Or some over-eager AI-scraping prevention?! 230
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 22/07/2026If the sandbox escape was so advanced then publish the details. 0162
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 11/06/2026My DEF CON talk "Hacking jetskis - from Sea-Don't to Sea-Doo" got accepted 🥳 We'll be having some good fun - such as bypassing the immobilizer using a custom Flipper Zero app, building a custom diagnostic adapter, and some big plot-twists 🛥️ 0270
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Opposite of solder-pr0n: Messed up the stencil solder application and was hoping for surface tension to fix it for me 🥲 The expired paste probably didn't help either 2150

stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Non-technical teams are now shipping production vulns 2254
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Told someone their "vulnerability report" is bs (result of an automatic scanner that has a false positive...) This was the response 😑 2150
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Sometimes it’s nice to go back to basics: Built firmware that’s just 246 bytes, uses no RAM at all, and runs parasitically from a 1-wire bus at just 0.2 mA. Yet it emulates a full jetski key! You can see voltage rising until the chip starts running based on the BOD threshold. 3291
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 25/03/2026If you ever lose the keys to your older Sea-Doo Jetski you might find these bytes useful when talking to the ECU😇 95 BC 2F 02 04 A4 75 BE 1221
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Option A: Upgrade iPhone to iOS26 and have to use liquid glass Option B: Get pwned by DarkSword malware I don't know which one is worse 5180

stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Simple age check for Linux: Just have the shell ask the user to check the host IP on first boot. If they type ifconfig they are old enough, if they type ip addr they deserve to be restricted from their computer 😇 6407

stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Wow, used Yamaha 01V96 are a steal - and 17 motor faders are a lot of fun 😀 2170

stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 27/12/2025En route to #39c3 - come to our talk at 4pm! I will only be there today and tomorrow, but happy to meet-up & chat. Also, if you are at #39c3 and often dump SPI flash-chips please let me know, I might have something for you that I'm looking for feedback on 🙂 1180

stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 05/08/2025Call for flash-chips at DEF CON! If you have leftover or rare SPI flash-chips that I can have for testing some tooling I’m building I’d be very thankful. Also if you have devices where you had trouble dumping in-system I’d love to give it a try. I’ll be at Embedded Systems Village :) 081

stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Wanted to slightly warm up the chip with a heat-lamp and ended up melting the jumper-wires 🔥😅 1180
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Okay going to have @liveoverflow.bsky.social make all silkscreens for me going forward :D 0241
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 06/03/2025Wow modern cars suck. A relay is not opening/closing reliably. The relay is epoxied into a PCB assembly. Replacement cost for the 5EUR (being generous here) relay is 400EUR because you can only buy the entire assembly. 2180
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Business idea: Amazon but with original products instead of counterfeit ones. Pretty sure there’s a market there. 0223
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Dared to call German customs, was starting to describe my situation (nicely) and immediately got interrupted and yelled at. Wow. 1130
stacksmashing @stacksmashing.bsky.social · 08/02/2025The German customs system is so hopelessly broken... It's faster to send something from the UK to Finland, import it there, and then forward it to Germany than trying to import something from the UK to Germany directly. 0120
