In this episode of Secure After Dark, Tanner sits down with Ringmast4r (Patrick Quirk) to dive into aggressive OSINT, large-scale government data extraction, and the future of digital transparency. From war driving and custom-built signal intelligence rigs to extracting more than 188GB of publicly exposed Venezuelan government data, Ringmast4r walks through the mindset, tools, and automation behind his research.

We also explore ODINT, his nonprofit initiative focused on mapping digital infrastructure and documenting security failures across global government systems ... all without crossing legal lines. If you’re into OSINT, RF hacking, hardware builds, and pushing technical boundaries, this one’s for you. ⌨️

Valiant didn’t go to Las Vegas expecting to find belonging. He went to DEF CON (the world’s most infamous hacker conference) armed with stickers, a mic, and a healthy dose of paranoia. What he found was something else entirely.

This isn’t your typical conference recap. It’s a raw, unfiltered, and occasionally absurd field report from the front lines of hacker culture. From TSA misadventures and social engineering sleight-of-hand to vishing competitions, AI villages, and many a drink, this is the story of how a n00b stumbled into a world he didn’t know he was already part of.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like inside DEF CON, or what happens when a marketing director who is charged-and-synced with the spirit of Hunter S. Thompson goes full gonzo in the name of cybersecurity, this one’s for you.
