A cozy night in with a hardware capture-the-flag challenge, embedded in a gorgeous PCB conference badge! This year, I had the pleasure of interviewing Abhinav Pandagale about his full-color PCB badges for this year’s RSA Conference and BSides SF security events in San Francisco. He showed me some cool demos and info about the UV printing used on both badges: Abhinav

Simon Kemper has published a guide for making use of the low-cost Dragino LGT-92 LoRaWAN asset tracking system to help track a bike when it’s stolen for easy recovery, while running for years on a single battery. Dragino LGT-92 is built for asset tracking across a LoRaWAN connection (a long-range low-power radio standard). The Dragino LGT-92 integrates a LoRaWAN radio with GPS-based location tracking. For
