    I learned lockpicking at a security conference I attended with my class in college while getting a degree in networking. Lockpicking is one of those things that normies find scary but it’s actually a pretty fun and easy skill to pick up. Seriously go buy a $20 kit on Amazon and have some fun!

        No it was Cyphercon in Milwaukee. Lots of people there also have defcon badges and swag so there’s a ton of influence from Defcon at least

          Nice. I’ve never heard of Cyphercon, and Milwaukee is a lot closer to me. Probably a little too soon for me to manage to make it happen this year, hopefully next year.

            Yeah I haven’t been able to make it since their 4th year. Super inconvenient time of year for me. But the times I have been able to make it it’s been a blast. I think Madison now has a new hacker conference too? And there’s Thotcon in Chicago too
