Defcon Toronto Prep

Long time no see 👾

It’s been almost 10 years since the last time I hit a Defcon Toronto meetup (see photographic evidence of my massive 2016 forehead below). Time flies when you’re busy touching grass (allegedly).

I’m still aggressively anti-social, so instead of small talk and awkward badge glances, I’ve decided to deploy a networking exploit:

SSID-spamming my social handles using the WiFi Pineapple Pager

Why talk to humans when you can broadcast your @ like it’s a beacon of chaos? Absolutely unhinged. Absolutely on brand.

Will this work? Who knows.
Will it annoy people? Almost certainly.
That’s the threat model.

To make things extra spicy, I cooked up my own payload called Promo Spammer v1 handcrafted, artisanal, no preservatives.

If you see a suspicious SSID screaming my username at Defcon Toronto… no you didn’t 😌

TL;DR:
Can’t network IRL → weaponized WiFi → touched packets instead of people.
Peak hacker.
