The first course on "Anti Bitcoin Forensics".

The master's degree, unique in Italy, Europe and the world, was held in person, divided into two training days, in Italian, in the Swiss city of Lugano.

During the renowned Plan B Forum event in Switzerland, we hosted two free talks open to everyone.

The first focused on operating system security, the second on entropy generation inherent in Bitcoin wallets.

The events were held in Italian, in the city of Lugano.

Arkadia and Plan B Network partner to launch the second edition of the "Mastering Bitcoin Self-Custody" course.

The course was held in person, divided into two training days, in Italian, in the Swiss city of Lugano.

We intervened during the Satoshi Spritz of Vignola informing about anonymous and pseudo anonymous transactions in Bitcoin perspective. Focus on the features and differences between V.P.N. and T.O.R., also on their functioning.

Together with Arkadia and Plan B Network we have created the first course "Mastering Bitcoin Self Custody".

The course was held in person and divided into two training days, in Italian in the Swiss city of Lugano.

At this annual event, at the University of Mantova, we were speakers of the speech "Hacking hardware wallets".

We have shown how secure elements can be hacked, how to decrypt A.E.S. encrypted data, and finally the weaknesses in mnemonic generation due to lack of entropy.

At the Mantova municipal library we explained Bitcoin to those who don't know it.

This free and open event allowed us to spread Bitcoin to citizens, in an informed way, debunking popular myths.

We intervened during the Satoshi Spritz in Bologna informing about Bitcoin and the insecurity of hardware wallets. Focus on hardware manufacturers, micro chips, micro controllers, secure elements and relative low entropy, also, of attack techniques, such as laser fault injection.

Moca is the oldest hacker camp in Italy and known throughout Europe.

It was an honor to premiere our speech “Bitcoin and the Secret Insecurity of Hardware Wallets.”

During the event together with Security Cert, we gave life to the fourth edition of the "Hack Bitcoin User".

As usual, we have put up for grabs 5000 euros in Bitcoin.

This time too we managed to protect the server, even though some of the best hackers in Italy were present at this meeting.

We held a speech at the Satoshi Spritz in Fidenza that focused on Bitcoin, V.P.N. and T.O.R., regarding internet connections, their security, cryptographic implementations and interactions with Bitcoin.

We participated in the HackInBo Spring Edition Standard 2024 where we created the third edition of the “Hack Bitcoin User”.

The aim of the competition was to break into a notebook, which contained a software wallet with Bitcoin worth 5,000 Euros. The attack surface was very large, with the typical Bitcoiner configuration, a data sharing server, a web server and various remote control tools.

In this event, hackers reached the limit of access to the device, because we noticed that the 0 day exploit mitigation software was being used.

At the end of the competition, no one managed to hack the laptop or steal the 5,000 euros in Bitcoin.

We participated in this spring event by exposing on the talk "Bitcoin, Linux and security".

We talked about the maximum security in the generation and storage of mnemonics, which certainly cannot be done through hardware wallets but only with Linux implementations.

We participated in the HackInBo Spring Edition Standard 2023 where we created the second Bitcoin C.T.F.

This year, in addition to our machine that had a web server, a data sharing server and the crypto holder configuration, we also launched a virtual machine with a Bitcoin node.

In one of these virtualizations we placed a wallet containing Bitcoins worth 500 Euros, as a reward for the hacker who managed to violate our device.

At the end of the competition, no one managed to hack our device or our systems.

We were present at the Web 3 Digital Sumit 2023 where we talked about cyber security and the anonymity of connections.

Specifically, we have discussed V.P.N., T.O.R. and how to use them to exchange data, messages and cryptocurrencies in an encrypted and anonymous way.

We were part of the HackInBo Winter Edition Standard 2022 where we created the first C.T.F. crypto contest.

Our machine, with a very large attack surface, ran a web server, a data sharing server, and the typical cryptocurrency exchange configuration.

Inside we placed two wallets containing cryptocurrencies worth 500 Euros as a reward for the hacker who managed to violate the device.

At the end of the competition, no one managed to hack the machine or steal the Bitcoins.
