The Bender Badge, in my humble opinion, was the most sought after electronic badge of DEFCON 24. No it is not the official DEFCON 24 Badge, but the most excellent creation of AND!XOR. If you are on Twitter and didn't know this was going down... you better get on with your Twitter game! Here's another word you should learn - HACKADAY.
I will not bore you with the story on how I got my hands on one, but let's just say, I have the most amazing buddies at DEFCON! Just like the MI-6 Quartermaster in James Bond --> "Q" DEFCON badges seem to just magically appear around his neck, badge procurement an expert he is! And of course, everyones information source at PHV --> "Siri" Just ask Siri, and she'll point your radar to the right direction. Most excellent indeed.
Here's a list of stuff you can do with it... Plug your Bender Badge to the USB port on your Kali box. From the Main Menu you'll see the following:
1. Bling
2. Chat
3. Games
4. Peers
5. System
*Minicom 2.7
Serial Connection to the Bender Badge
1. Pick "System", then scroll down to "Serial Mode"
2. Fire up your Terminal and type the following - "sudo minicom -s"
3. You will be presented with a menu, select "Serial port setup"
4. On the next menu, by the "Change which setting?" prompt. Pick "A" for "Serial Device:.
5. Change the entry from "/dev/ttyUSB0" to "/dev/ttyACM0" (that's a zero)
6. Save & Exit
The Bender interface should come up at this time.
