Why the name TETRA? TETRA is a very common trunked radio system, for example a lot of police, prison service and corporations use it globally in ether its none encrypted or optional encrypted forms.

Pentesting tools can be quite loud as generally speaking if someone is paying you to test their network/site they know you are coming. If you are doing things passively, like sniffing for the handshake and cracking it offline then you are safe. I've always found the field of anti-forensic interesting too.

According to an article on Forbes the information loaded into the FAA drone registry database will be searchable by the public. Yet another reason to not register your multirotor with the FAA. As many have pointed out, even Darren on Threatwire, if anyone has your registration number they can simply affix it to their multirotor and perform nefarious acts leading the authorities straight to you. It's becoming more obvious by the day just how little thought was put into this program.
Surely the same thing could be said about ham radio licensing? The thing is the model aircraft hobby has self policed itself for years but now that any idiot can and will buy a "drone" its became a necessity, back when they were hard to fly and expensive there was no need as numbers were small, much like amateur radio.
Another typical example of the American (and the UK, too) government not having a clue what the heck they are on about, when it comes to 'Cyber Security' (I use this term in the broad sense here).
They're not scared of the average Tom, Dick or Harry being affected by drones, they just don't want their own private lives to be intruded upon by potentially flying data-gatherers, because it's just one more avenue that the everyday guy can use to realise how corrupt everyone above him really is.
There's been remote-controlled aircraft for an age now, but these had wings or a single rotor, meaning they couldn't carry nefarious equipment around. It's only the addition of the 'quad-coptor' that's got everyone's panties in a twist, because suddenly the upper echelon feel threatened by cyber attacks again.
As usual, toffs with no knowledge of what they are talking about gather in a nice leather-clad room to ping glasses over how they can keep the man down, and how they can stop people from spying on them and their rich friends.
I don't believe any of this is remotely enforceable, and I don't think they intend to enforce most of it anyway. It's more a front for the sheepling masses, to make them feel 'safe'. The same masses that understand nothing about how most technology actually works.
Baa.
UK regulation has always been tight, but has been and still is fixed on maxim allowed weight, hight of flight and where you can fly. Don't kid yourself the only thing new to the game is the drop in price, oldboys in their 50 and 60's have been doing this stuff for years. I think licencing is likely in the UK and will be much like Ham radio, fairly simple and self policing. Like if I get on the airways and start spouting shit, then the hams will track me down and grass me up to Ofcom, as they enjoy it. Not to say it will not happen, but a few heavy fines and publicity works.

Already bought tickets to EMF camp and I've got the time booked out on my calendar for SteelCon.

It runs openelec fairly sluggishly and issnt great at emulation of more modern (late 90) arcade systems, I'm interested in having a play with the $8 chip board as at least it has WiFi and Bluetooth onboard.

Mana with BackdoorFactory BDFProxy is nice. This person has a write up http://decidedlygray.com/2015/11/19/evil-access-point-with-auto-backdooring-ftw/

The meetings are worth going to, the mag and radio show can largely be ignored. Just rehashing the same thing, again and again.

There are a few newish tools for BT4.0 but the issues with BT in the first place was poor implementation on behalf of the manufacturers, most of which were fixed.

I love this thread :)
I started it years ago, as there was a sea of posts everyday, all basically saying the same "hi i'm (insert name) I like doom and asian pron, and I'm all about the Linux"

End of season episode was not great. I'll watch the second season as I'm hoping it gets better.

Why pay that much?, you can just pay to sit the exams and save yourself 4k. All the materials are available online.

I'd say in you're in the US, you best stockpile anything perceived as dangerous, as there is a constant push towards regulation. The issue with regulation is its a slippery slope, even something that seems sensible, gets the regulators foot in the door and next thing you know you can't even carry a mutitool as it has a locking blade. This has been shown throughout the world to be true.

There is no real point stepping up the voltage as most the companies that quote 10,000,000volts or some shit, do so for marketing, any model from Tazer will do the job. If you are really worried about stopping power buy bear mace or get a Springfield XDM as its 19 + 1 and buy hollow points.

Has anyone watched Scorpion? Bit more like watching the movie hackers, where they never fail to pull something off, but I find it easier to watch since I have no expectations of reality in the show. We're only about 18 episodes into season one but enjoying it.
Scorpion is fucking awful, I felt dirty after I watched it and not good dirty! Like someone had just taken a shit on you, its that fucking bad.

The Hak5 stuff is cheap Chinese tat, buy something from Maxpedition like http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_17?url=search-alias%3Dsporting&field-keywords=maxpedition+beefy+pocket+organizer&sprefix=Maxpedition+beefy%2Csporting%2C221 zippers and stitching will last a life time on Maxpedition kit.

The shows quality is all over the place. It's not a great show, I'd not even say it was good, but it keeps you coming back as it has moments where you laugh for a few seconds or say OK this is okay.
Catch and Halt Fire, is a much better tech related show.
-
UBNT probably sell a weatherproof AP that will do ac at a fair price, if not get a Peli case and mod an AP for PoE or get a splitter from tp-link and just drill a single hole in the base and fill will silicone sealant, once the cable is through.

EMFcamp is massively fun, planning on bringing a big sound system to the next to drown out the shitty dance music with death metal and chip tunes.
Anyone that watched Mr Robot, should have seen the shout out to 2600, when he's nicking a site as a kid, you can see its 2600's. Even if people aren't in the London area, you should all check out your local 2600 groups, its the first Friday of every month globally.

SteelCon was a lot of fun. If anyone is around London this Friday there is a 2600 hacker meet up. Easiest way to find us will be to head to Namco Funscape (massive arcade)next to the London Eye around 19:30. Head to the basement and follow the bar around and you will see a large Pacman arcade machine. There are a lot of tables with seating. The venue sells coffee as well as alcohol and soft drinks. They do serve food but stop serving food at 21:30, but you can buy things from the McDonald up stairs and eat it in the bar right the way until closing time at 12pm.
Everybody who is interested in computer and telecoms security and theimpact of technology on society is welcome, from both sides of the fence, no matter what your age or level of skill and experience - nobody knows it all, no matter what they claim.

Ep 3 and 4 are strange and not great. I'll give the show a season, if it continues like this it will be like Lost, great first episode then nothing but shit.

But then you'd need an adapter to plug it into your computer.
Yep, it just looks like a standard USB Ethernet adaptor.

You could buy an old Zipit z2 or Nokia N810, you also have the Panasonic Toughbook CF-U1 and Sony VGN UX50.

Dayum, how many bsides are there?
There are an insane amount, surprising even in small places where you think it wouldn't be able to support a security conference.

Oh man I only just spotted this thread and heard about SteelCon, HOURS after I've booked a holiday over the same dates. And it would've been so handy to pop over from Manchester.
Ah well, there's always next year!
Any other decent cons in the UK? Have considered DerbyCon and Shmoo in the past but it always works out so pricey with flights and hotels. Plus like you guys said, it sounds a little lonely when none of your friends are interested in coming..
You have bsides Manchester.
Hardware Lock?

If I saw a pelican case, I'd break into it as it's probably got something good in it, as they are silly money, well unless you need to ship/carry a high end camera or rifle/scope. You could just roll your own device using OpenWRT and one of the many, many, many cheap chinese mini routers.
The only good locks have abloy protec 2 cores, you would want some kind of harden steel box and mount the antennas externally.
