The Privacy, Security, and OSINT Show
Given the increase in popularity of Lemmy I thought the Fediverse would be a great home for discussions regarding Michael's podcast and privacy, security, etc. in general. I'll be posting recaps of all shows going forward as well as of previous episodes when I can and look forward to discussing them!

BusKill is a laptop kill-cord. It's a USB cable with a magnetic breakaway that you attach to your body and connect to your computer. | [](https://www.buskill.in/#demo) | |:--:| | *Watch the [BusKill Explainer Video](https://www.buskill.in/#demo) for more info [youtube.com/v/qPwyoD_cQR4](https://www.youtube.com/v/qPwyoD_cQR4)* | If the connection between you to your computer is severed, then your device will lock, shutdown, or shred its encryption keys -- thus keeping your encrypted data safe from thieves that steal your device. # What is DEF CON? DEF CON is a yearly hacker conference in Las Vegas, USA. | [](https://www.buskill.in/defcon32/) | |:--:| | *Watch the [DEF CON Documentary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ctQOmjQyYg) for more info [youtube.com/watch?v=3ctQOmjQyYg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ctQOmjQyYg)* | # What is BusKill presenting at DEF CON? I ([goldfishlaser](https://github.com/goldfishlaser)) will be presenting **Open Hardware Design for BusKill Cord** in a Demo Lab at DEF CON 32. **What: Open Hardware Design for BusKill Cord When: Sat Aug 10 12PM – 1:45PM Where: W303 – Third Floor – LVCC West Hall** Who: Melanie Allen ([goldfishlaser](https://github.com/goldfishlaser)) [More info](https://forum.defcon.org/node/249627) ## Talk Description BusKill is a Dead Man Switch triggered when a magnetic breakaway is tripped, severing a USB connection. I’ve written OpenSCAD code that creates a 3D printable file for plastic parts needed to create the magnetic breakaway. Should anyone need to adjust this design for variations of components, the code is parameterized allowing for easy customization. To assemble a BusKill Dead Man Switch cord you will need: 1. a usb-a extension cord, 2. a usb hard drive capable of being attached to a carabiner, 3. a carabiner, 4. the plastic pieces in this file, 5. a usb female port, 6. a usb male, 7. 4 magnets, 8. 4 pogo pins, 9. 4 pogo receptors, 10. wire, 11. 8 screws, 12. and BusKill software. | [](https://www.buskill.in/defcon32/) | |:--:| | Golden DIY BusKill Print | Full BOM, glossary, and assembly instructions are included in the [github repository](https://github.com/BusKill/usb-a-magnetic-breakaway). The room holds approx. 70 attendees seated. I’ll be delivering 3 x 30 min presentations – with some tailoring to what sort of audience I get each time. ## Meet Me @ DEF CON If you'd like to find me and chat, I'm also planning to attend: - ATL Meetup (DCG Atlanta Friday: 16:00 – 19:00 \| 236), - Hacker Kareoke (Friday and Sat 20:00-21:00 \| 222), - Goth Night (Friday: 21:00 – 02:00 \| 322-324), - QueerCon Mixer (Saturday: 16:00-18:00 \| Chillout 2), - EFF Trivia (Saturday: 17:30-21:30 \| 307-308), and - Jack Rysider’s Masquerade (Saturday: 21:00 – 01:00 \| 325-327) I hope to print many fun trinkets for my new friends, including some BusKill keychains. | [](https://www.buskill.in/defcon32/) | |:--:| | Come to my presentation @ DEF CON for some free BusKill swag | By attending DEF CON, I hope to make connections and find collaborators. I hope during the demo labs to find people who will bring fresh ideas to the project to make it more effective.
Seems I've been away as long as Michael. Jason did the intro for the show and "addressed" the conspiracy theories. He stated none of the theories are true and followed up by saying that he has no idea where Michael is. If he doesn't know where Michael is then how could he know he isn't in a foreign jail?
Just kidding (I hope) but in the prior week's episode (303) he mentioned that he would be trying out some new forms of identification during a trip and joked that if it doesn't work out he might have to see if he can record a podcast while in a foreign jail. Then this Friday, a new episode wasn't dropped. Wonder if that actually happened.
