Jayson E Street (@jaysonstreet)
A "notorious hacker" by FOX25 Boston, "World Class Hacker" by National Geographic Breakthrough Series, a "paunchy hacker" by Rolling Stone Magazine and, as a "Change Agent" by the Director of Counter Intelligence at the Pentagon! He however prefers if people just refer to him simply as a Hacker, Helper & Human.
Each one brings a unique perspective and energy you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re here to level up your skills, connect with other security pros, or just soak up the vibes, this is the place to be.

We’ll cover everything from flashing firmware and setting up your first node to connecting with the app, plus tips for building your own small mesh network and exploring advanced features. Perfect for beginners, hobbyists, and anyone curious about experimenting with off-grid, low-cost communication.
7:15 - 8:00 The Imposter’s Guide to Hacking… Without Technical Talent! - Jayson E Street (@jaysonstreet)
Hear from a lifelong imposter who has been fooling people for decades! Watch examples of the no talent and lack of technical know-how hacks using just a credit card and imagination. See a new perspective on utilizing everyday devices and toys being repurposed with almost zero modification into attack tools. Marvel at the audacity of this speaker’s declaration of his right to be called a hacker! Listen to this “pick me guy’s” virtue signaling rants on subjects that he can only be considered a tangible ally on at best! Try to make it to the end of his talk where he casts judgments and harsh critiques on a community that is failing so many of us with nonsense standards and prejudiced expectations which are only there to appease gatekeepers whose insecurities fuel the toxicity in OUR community! Oh, and there will probably be some memes so yeah that’ll help!
8:00 - ??? All the Mad Beatz
