Panic defies logic. I take the situation seriously, but some of the freaking out I see people pulling is just… WTF? dude?

#OMG you are killing me / us… You are such a tease

I legitimately would if I could…

My work has stopped all international travel except in critical circumstances… I planned a month long Trip to The states.
I’m pretty sure Defcon and helping Amal move would be classified as critical, No harm in asking.
DefCon with 25,000 people in one place should be easy to mitigate and an easy sell…
So Amal, if you can wait until July -August I’ll give you a hand :wink:
Before I catch Covid at DefCon :mask:

Unlike NFC, I’ve never had any problems getting my RFID glass implants read. And I have no need for long-distance reading. So I’m struggling to get excited with that one :slight_smile:

Ok, so this is COVID-19 projects. What are YOU gonna do if you find yourself with a lot of free at home time?

I got the dash on my car apart right now, trying to get the security system to quit randomly trippin’ balls.
Probably finish that.

I wanna re-do the magic tool box for extended life between charges.

I have all the guts from a power lift chair that my mother had me take, to “see if you can get it going again”.
:heavy_check_mark: on the mother to-do list.

Probably clean the shop. Sort and throw out.

Wish I had something more thrilling. Whadya got?

realistically probably mostly playing Animal Crossing with my kid once that’s out on Friday… no school for 3 weeks leaves me with less free-time than usual instead of more haha. Definitely looking forward to tinkering with my implants once they turn up though, assuming the dude I’m getting implanting them is still turning up for work haha.

My parents garage is now RFID secured with an xEM Access Controller.

My car has been done for a while, but my brother saw it - now he has a NExT and his car is on our todo list.

I’ve also got a van that I don’t drive often that might be getting done up too. And I’ve got an old electronic safe that I might convert if I can be bothered.

I just got my Proxmark3 Easy in the mail today :raised_hands: so I’m gonna be learning, practicing and getting ready for implantation day so I can play with these chips :metal: time to update my website too, I guess.

nice! got mine a couple days ago, but since my implants are a bit delayed I didn’t rush to set it up yet… I should fix that. Hopefully I’ll have time tomorrow to poke at it. seemed not TOO complex to setup on linux or mac, so I’ll probably end up going with that route.

If I tried to do a Proxmak :brick: instal on Linux :penguin: :computer: and got stuck, @MouSkxy would be my “GoTo” guy to ask for an assist

I might contact you @MouSkxywhen I revive my Proxmark3. it’s held up at customs now, but should be with me in a few days :slightly_smiling_face:

I don’t have Linux, but I guess it’ll be doable on a virtual windows machine running on a Mac :slightly_smiling_face:

My corvid-19 to do list consists of:
-finishing my Lab power-supply (0-60V 0-50A)
-learn how to use the proxmar
-tinkering with making an external antenna on a p532 board
-clean out the garage
-make a XEM access controlled cabinet :slightly_smiling_face:

I am also going to set up a decent video recording table so I can lay things out and do a decent job of lighting… i want to make more comprehensive vids, and I’d love it if you guys could supply some video of your projects as well for inclusion… anything really… shots of you using your implants for things… recordings of your projects… in fact I’m going to record the entire process of setting up the garage door opener to use an XAC, but like, do it better than the quick shitty video I already posted about it… more of a “how to” kind of video.

I’m really pumped for your youtube channel to be useful instead of what feels like a repository for random home videos.

I put a video of my toolbox up, but it’s really low quality. I might go back and redo that if I get a chance to redo the box as well.

As soon as I get time.

I forgot to mention an upcoming project. I’m building a sun tracking solar array. Might be able to turn it into a side hustle. Maybe it’ll just be cool. As soon as I get time.

The standard automotive relay is about 80 ohms.
A normal PC board type relay is available in 300- 400 ohms.
Might be interesting to work out some capacitor values for a couple standard relays (with part numbers), that are mapped to delay times. Not everybody is gonna want to, or be able to, figure it out on their own.

I’m not assigning work or anything, just might be a project that others would find useful.

Totally… the only reason I bother with automotive relays is that they are easily accessible in any automotive store and you can use a crimp tool with blade connector female ends to make the whole thing… not much soldering at all, and in some cases no soldering what-so-ever depending on the push button device used inside the garage (some have screw terminals). I’m really gearing this for the lowest common denominator… and some automotive relays have a little tab on them with a screw hole for easy wall mounting. Basically if someone has the XAC I want it so simple they can just go to the hardware store or automotive store, get some blade connectors and a cheap crimper, and get this thing done without having to order and wait for anything else.

I’m handy with a soldering iron, but just took this approach with my parents garage. All crimps, really fast, and really easy to maintain and troubleshoot. I’m a fan of solder for cars and high vibration environments but for a garage it’s not worth the trouble.
