Andrew has spent 25 years designing large-scale IT systems. He grew up alongside the birth of the internet, building his own computers, running a BBS, and taking electronics apart to understand how they worked. His interests remain firmly hands-on, focused on hardware tinkering and RF. He’s been a licensed amateur radio operator since 1993, holds an Amateur Extra license, and is active from VHF/UHF through 160 meters.

Dan "darkestofdans" Norte (W0BDP) is a penetration tester, currently with NetSPI. Dan has been a ham radio operator for 9 years, currently Amateur Extra class. Dan enjoys popping shells and chasing DX.

Danny Quist has been a licensed amateur radio operator since he was 17, which is a really long time. Currently he is an extra class operator who gets to operate in his freetime working as CTO at Swarm Inc. He is a volunteer examiner with the ham radio village. His day job includes reverse engineering malware, forward engineering malware detonation systems, and management.

Eric is a seasoned pentester and a Red Tech Lead at Sophos. On a daily basis he attempts to compromise large enterprise networks to test their physical, human, network and wireless security. He has successfully compromised companies from all sectors of business including: Healthcare, Pharmaceutical, Entertainment, Amusement Parks, Banking, Finance, Technology, Insurance, Military, Retail, Food Distribution, Government, Education, Transportation, Energy and Industrial Manufacturing.

His team consecutively won first place at DEF CON 23, 24, and 25's Wireless CTF, snagging a black badge along the way. Forcibly retired from competing in the Wireless CTF, he now helps create challenges!

Jeremy Banker (K0JLB) has been a licensed amateur radio operator since 2010, drawn to the hobby by a lifelong interest in experimentation. A Senior Security Software Engineer by trade, he is a regular packet radio operator and supports packet operations for his local ARES group. His frustration with the closed-source tools available for packet messaging — software he couldn't fix or improve — led him to build open-packet, an MIT-licensed Python client designed to outlive any single developer. He has spoken at Black Hat Arsenal, DEF CON Demo Labs, Ham Radio Village, and RMISC.

Jon Marler is a cybersecurity product director, hacker, and RF experimenter who enjoys building strange things that connect computers, radios, and networks together. By day he leads security products at VikingCloud focused on protecting global payment infrastructure. By night he experiments with mesh radio networks, hardware hacking, and unconventional communication systems. Jon is particularly interested in how radio and decentralized networks can complement modern security and resilience strategies.

Nate Moore works in cybersecurity, holds an Extra class amateur radio license, and spends his spare time teaching, examining, and pushing signals around the ether.

Scott Thompson, KF5CPY, is a Cloud Architect for a motorsports team by day and a compulsive tinkerer by night, with a home lab full of Raspberry Pis, SBCs, and a backlog of HackerBox projects that will absolutely get soldered eventually. He earned his Technician license in 2019 for the most practical reason possible: surviving a back-country trip into the New Mexico desert without cell service. He has spent most of his career security-adjacent, doing the kind of remediation work that gives you strong opinions about how things break. This is his first conference talk.

Passionate about electronics and energy storage
