Gaslighting: Manipulating Reality
If the words “cognition adjustment technique” peak your interest, you won’t want to miss SA and Terry Hale’s talk at PhreakNIC this year called “Gaslighting: Manipulating Reality”. Here is the link for the full description.
Reverse engineering… your truck?
Say you had a computer controlled diesel truck. Say you wanted to figure out just what that computer controlled… without documentation…
Come to PhreakNIC and meet Swamp. A local enthusiast and tinker who just couldn’t stop until he had reverse engineered the circuit boards and various control modules of his truck. Before long, people were coming to him for help.. Come hear about his discoveries as someone who understands the reverse engineering process; the long and painful journey it takes to understand just what goes on in the circuit boards of a vehicle.
