Guests

• Zapp
  • Chief Bling Officer (CBO) at AND!XOR
  • During his limited free time he writes vulnerable C code, dabbles in Kicad, and trolls Arduino bot accounts on Twitter
  • Never been seen at the same time and place as Batman...But then again, neither has Stephen
• Hyr0n
  • A button pusher, easily replaced by a thousand monkeys with a thousand laptops, but manages to crank out firmware and hacker puzzles
  • If you’re reading this statement, he already has root access to your computer

We have had Zapp and Hyr0n on the podcast before. Check out MEP EP#69: Incognito Mode and MEP EP#109 Arduino, The Gateway Drug To #BadgeLife.
