Need to open doors from the outside without touching anything? Turns out thats possible with no touch sensors as @shifttymike details in his latest blog post. Link in 🧵👇
Wifi hacking can be a useful tool, but people are out here grinding on WPA2 handshake cracking tutorials & menu driven attack tooling. When @sensepost built the 3rd iteration of our wifi hacking course for @BlackHatEvents - we did it to show what really works & how it works. 1/7
Attacks against AD CS are de rigueur these days, but sometimes a working attack doesn’t work somewhere else, and the inscrutable error messages are no help. Jacques replicated the most infuriating and explains what’s happening under the hood in this post sensepost.com/blog/2025/divi…
I found the ZA hacker community through 0xc0ffee_cpt somewhere around 2013, now 12 years later I had the privilege of kicking off the first PTA event. What a cool group of people. May the community grow from strength to strength!
🔥 Our first 0xC0ffee in Pretoria was a massive success! 🔥 A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, and shoutout to Michael Rodger for an awesome first talk. 👾 We’re making this a monthly thing-every 2nd Tuesday at Rock@88 Moreleta! 📅Next meetup: 11 March, 7–9 PM. ☕🔥
Instead of relying on RemCom, what if we had a python client to interact with the latest, Microsoft signed PSExec? In this post @Defte_ details how he and the team did exactly this, including a tool, some PSExec internals and detection opportunities! sensepost.com/blog/2025/psex…
🚀 Exciting news for Pretoria hackers! 🚀 No more long drives to Joburg! Join 0xCoffee PTA and connect with like-minded hackers. 📅 11 Feb 2025 🕖 7–9 PM 📍 Rock@88 Moreleta 👾 Show off projects 👥 Meet fellow hackers 🍵 Great vibes 💡 Got something cool to show? Message us!

Calling all hackers: See you there! 🦀 🖥️
Tonight's (30 Sept) #0xC0FFEE Jozi will feature Gerhard Botha talking about lessons learned while building offensive tooling in Rust - with comparisons between C & Go. It's at the usual place and time - Milk Bar, Sandton, 7pm. Be there.
In @sensepost's #BlackHatTrainings API Exploration & Exploitation, embark on a learning journey to explore the art of attacking and securing API's. This course equips you to mitigate the majority of vulnerabilities through improved development practices. Register here: bit.ly/3XFgAbq ⚙️
REMINDER to SAVE THE DATE! 📢 We are excited to announce that #0xcon2024 #Johannesburg is coming up on 9 November 2024 at the MTN Innovation Center! 0xcon.co.za Tickets are available through Quicket - quicket.co.za/events/277605-… See you all there! 😎 #infosec
gowitness v3 is out! A huge task, but I refactored basically _everything_ for version 3 in just over a week, followed by also writing the longest release notes of my life! Hopefully it's the best version yet. A lot has changed, so feel free to dig in. 🤖 🧵👇
📢 The clock is ticking! Our CFP for #0xcon2024 closes on 15 October 2024. If you have groundbreaking ideas, this is your chance to share them with the community. 📝Submit your sessions here: forms.gle/YS2H5naMSsRjNd… #infosec #CyberSecurity
Joburg hackers! We’re alive and well and will be meeting at the usual place, usual time (Milk Bar Parkmore, 7pm) @shifttymike will be taking us through some recent IoT hackery he did. Join us for some good conversation, food and networking. See you there 😁
REMINDER: #0xcon2024 CFP is still open! 📢 Be sure to submit before 15 Oct 2024 here: 0xcon.co.za/#cfp #Tickets to the #0xcon2024 #JHB event will be going out soon, you don't want to miss it, watch this space! 👀 #cybertech #cybersecurity #community #infosec #HackSouth
We've just opened up the #0xcon2024 CFP! Details are at 0xcon.co.za/#cfp. If you've been working on something interesting, come show it off
Me & @mariankabotes will be hosting a @BlackHatEvents session at 15:20 today. It’s a way for newbies to find out all the ways in which people who’ve done this for a while have screwed up - on the belief that this helps make our industry more accessible. blackhat.com/us-24/features…
@leonjza @JeanAstrucHTP @BSidesJoburg I’ll admit that was a mistake 🙃
We have a long history of yearly artworks @sensepost, and this year I got to carry the baton forward. I'm excited to reveal our 2024 artwork: "make pr's, not war". An art piece almost literally from my heart. 🧵
Hey hackers! Yes, it’s us. We’re still here and 0xcon is still a thing even if it isn’t base16 👀 Keep your eyes peeled, CFP dropping soon!
