    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.

    | [!Image of the Golden BusKill decoupler with the case off](https://www.buskill.in/defcon32/) | |:--:| | Golden DIY BusKill Print |

    Full BOM, glossary, and assembly instructions are included in the github repository. 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),

    Michael 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.

    Welcome!

    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!
