nullagent<p>This is not toxicity, I'm doing cybersecurity research and sadly I'm seeing a ton of vulns still.</p><p><a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meshtastic</span></a> have claimed to be secure for years but only actually introduced public key crypto last year. Before this, DMs simply were not even private.</p><p>After this they made MASSIVE security errors in how they derive private keys(without any regard for crypto secure entropy) and also a lack of design for manufacturing.</p><p><a href="https://hackaday.com/2025/06/20/this-week-in-security-that-time-i-caused-a-9-5-cve-ios-spyware-and-the-day-the-internet-went-down/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hackaday.com/2025/06/20/this-w</span><span class="invisible">eek-in-security-that-time-i-caused-a-9-5-cve-ios-spyware-and-the-day-the-internet-went-down/</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/@dlakelan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>dlakelan</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/@tomjennings" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>tomjennings</span></a></span></p><p> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cybersecurity</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a></p>
circfruit<p>I’ve never witnessed such rapid local tech spread. Only 1.5 months ago there was no <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meshtastic</span></a> in my city. Now there are 20+ nodes (on and off). This is going to be interesting.</p>
AI6YR Ben<p>Submitted my first bug (and suggested fix) for a <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meshtastic</span></a> related package, and the maintainers just implemented a fix! <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>software</span></a></p>
Grueproof<p>Starting to look into <a href="https://from.asolitarycabin.org/tags/Meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meshtastic</span></a> and related stuff.</p>
Daniel Lakeland<p>It seems <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/meshcore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meshcore</span></a> is a direct message first protocol, with group messages flooding like <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meshtastic</span></a> but the client nodes never flooding. There are two other roles with separate firmware. Repeater, and Chatroom. A chatroom, which can also repeat, stores messages for people who are offline. So there are synchronous and asynchronous messages.</p><p>Thinking that I'll flash my two nodes as mesh core tomorrow and see who's around.</p>
Daniel Lakeland<p>really interesting to read <span class="h-card"><a href="https://partyon.xyz/@nullagent" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>nullagent</span></a></span> thread on LORA/ <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meshtastic</span></a> vs his preferred <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/meshcore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meshcore</span></a>. I'm also kinda surprised meshtastic uses the MAC as the identity, and if meshcore uses an encryption key that is really a huge improvement (decouples identity from radio). anyway I'll check out what's up on meshcore down here in LA.</p><p><a href="https://partyon.xyz/@nullagent/113861878910345531" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">partyon.xyz/@nullagent/1138618</span><span class="invisible">78910345531</span></a></p>
nullagent<p>I wrote a hot take on all the issues with meshtastic. This is before meshcore came out. Since this time a ton of vulns have been found in meshtastic in many of the spots I expected. Several more serious vulns I call out still exist in <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meshtastic</span></a> and are completely unmittigated.</p><p>Should be a fun <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/defcon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>defcon</span></a> with <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meshtastic</span></a> this year 😉 </p><p>Meshcore on the other hand gets a lot more right and I have not found similar numbers or types of issues with meshcore so far.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.veraciousnetwork.com/@cdp1337" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>cdp1337</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://partyon.xyz/deck/@nullagent/113861754522594610" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">partyon.xyz/deck/@nullagent/11</span><span class="invisible">3861754522594610</span></a></p>

nullagent<p>Good news, there's an unreal amount of interest in meshcore lately.</p><p>My community came together and group purchased 20 nodes and have rapidly been onboaring tons of new LoRa curious hackers.</p><p>It looks like I might have single handedly increased the user base of the Seattle meshcore user base by 10 - 20%.</p><p><a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/meshcore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meshcore</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/pnw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pnw</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>seattle</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/lora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lora</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meshtastic</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/mesh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mesh</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>radio</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maker</span></a></p>

Kody Kinzie<p>Our first ethical hacker summer camp is done! Teaching <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meshtastic</span></a> was incredibly fun and easy for kids to learn. </p><p>We soldered custom cat-themed Nibble nodes, learned to chat off-grid, and made our own DIY weather stations!</p>
Daniel Lakeland<p>My wife posted about <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meshtastic</span></a> on the <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Altadena" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Altadena</span></a> facebook community group, and got a number of people interested in it. One of them literally already had 3 nodes including a solar one he wanted to set up but didn't know that much about how to do it. So gonna try to get in touch with him and get that going.</p>
Finn<p>My first prototype of a Meshtastic solar node...</p><p>Works fine but I thought I would need a strong frame for the panel to hold everything together.</p><p>I am not happy with this one, for the next version I just will drill some holes in the solar panel (at the border) and assemble everything using less screws and less filament.</p><p>But: The Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840 is running for days on battery now! I kept it in a dark place and it only dropped a few percent!</p><p><a href="https://toot.fan/tags/Meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meshtastic</span></a> <a href="https://toot.fan/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>

dexternemrod<p>I plan to setup a solar powered <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meshtastic</span></a> node. And I wonder what happens when the batteries are dead and can't be charges anymore. Will the node run on the solar power alone during the day and shot down during the night? (I know, going full apocalypse there 😉)</p>
The Original Stripey Goodness<p>I think I'll take down my base station <a href="https://meow.social/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meshtastic</span></a> node to update the firmware this weekend, but we'll see whether it goes back up or not</p>
