Ever dreamed of a portable hacking device that packs the punch of a full Linux system but is cool enough to wear on your arm? This talk is for you. We'll dump the bulky laptops and dive into creating a powerful, Pip-Boy-inspired wearable from scratch, without breaking the bank.
I'll take you through my whole chaotic journey: from picking the right parts to the rage-inducing 3D modeling, cramming a jungle of wires into a tiny space, making a Linux GUI actually usable on a touchscreen, and keeping the thing powered for more than five minutes. I’ve already bricked the components, scoured the darkest corners of GitHub, and copy-pasted with pride, so you get the blueprint without the pain. You’ll leave ready to build your own rig for whatever digital mayhem you have in mind.
Hardware Enthusiast & Maker: Anyone who loves tinkering, building custom gadgets, and working with single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi.
Aspiring Hardware Hacker: If you've been curious about building your own devices but felt intimidated, I break down the entire process, sharing the mistakes so you can avoid them.
Cybersecurity practitioners looking for creative, low-cost ways for pentests, assessments, or just for fun.
Stefan is a middle school student with curiosity for computer security that borders on an obsession with digital mayhem. When he's not in class, you can find him with a soldering iron and a keyboard. He got his start early diving deep into code, slinging Python, JavaScript, and GDScript, while also dabbling in C#. His proudest achievement to date? Getting his Flipper Zero banned from his middle school. He's excited to be at BSides PDX to learn from the best and share his own discoveries.
