Thanks for another awesome con, BlueHat! We had a great time teaching hundreds of people how to pick locks and having them compete for the fastest open. Even Clippy got in on the action! I also was happy to get to sign several copies of my Locksport book, which was included in the book prize drawing.
I’ll be giving a talk, Locksport Competitions: Compete in the Olympics of Locks, at DEF CON 32! It’s on Saturday, August 10th from 1:00 to 1:30 in LVCC – L1 – HW3-06-02 (Creator Stage 2).
Afterwards, I’ll be signing copies of Locksport at the No Starch Press booth in the Vendor East area from 2:30-3:30.
I hope to see you there!
I’m attending the Lancaster Lock Show on August 2nd-3rd, and will have a table with copies of Locksport available for purchase. Of course I’ll also be signing books! I hope to see you there!
I’m excited to announce that Locksport was officially released today. My co-authors and I put several years into this project – we hope you love the result. Pick it up today from your favorite bookseller, nostarch.com/locksport, my shop, or https://amzn.to/43td6er.
I recently created an online shop where you can order signed copies of Pentesting Azure Applications. I’ll be adding copies of Locksport as well, as soon as they arrive! I may even add some additional items like t-shirts, stickers, or lock-related items. Check it out!
Just in time for HushCon this year, I released a new version of the Lock Timer app. This is the first major update of the app since I built my original set of lock stands back in 2017. Changes include:
Enjoy! Let me know if you build your own timer game!
Thanks to everyone who came by to visit our book signing! We had a great time meeting you and hope you enjoy the early release of Locksport or Pentesting Azure Applications! I’m also excited to say that today we submitted the penultimate edits for Locksport to the production team — just one more review once the page numbers are locked to verify the index and the final version is off to the printer!
Also thanks to Max for the shoutout in the DEF CON media video interview!
I’m excited to announce that we will have an early release version of our new book, Locksport, available in print at DEF CON 31 this August! Even better, several of the authors (including me!) will be at the No Starch Press booth to sign copies! You should pre-order the book now, as it will sell out. Pre-orders close July 7, so don’t wait. The book signing will be on Saturday, August 12th at 1pm.
More information about the book is here.
As one of the organizers of Seattle Locksport, I am excited to announce that we are resuming in-person meetups! We took a long break due to COVID, but we are ready to see everyone again. We will be meeting near Seattle on the east side the third Tuesday every month at 7 PM. Our first meetup will be at NW Brewing in Redmond. RSVP if you can join us!
