It's dangerous to go alone.
TAKE THIS (opens in a new tab)
Every quest needs a hero.
The avatar you create on Hackpack will represent you throughout the conference. You can equip your avatar directly on your Hackpack, or log into TwilioQuest (opens in a new tab) to create it there.
Earn coins. Get swag.
Earn SIGNAL coins for exploring the conference---attending sessions, interacting with the environment, completing missions in TwilioQuest, and more. Your SIGNAL coins are exchangeable for limited-edition Twilio swag at the IRL swag store.
Interact with the environment.
Hackpack knows how to talk to the environment at SIGNAL. From controlling large-scale games with the joystick, to seeing your avatar on the big screen, you'll want to keep your Hackpack with you.
A platform for hacking
A web browser that knows tricks
Hackpack boots into a special SIGNAL interface we made to guide you through the conference. But you don't need to stay in our walled garden; you can send it to any URL. Your web app has full access to the joystick, game buttons, and LED bar.
Blinking lights
Hackpack wouldn't be complete without lights that blink. This year we added five.
A badge that runs Linux
It's a fully-integrated Raspberry Pi, gamepad, with a screen. And a DEF CON® SAO header for whatever reason.
Plays nice with others
Hackpack v4 is part of a much bigger family of hackable oddities.
Defcon Sh*tty Add-Ons Compatible
Hackpack is compatible with the Defcon Sh*tty Add-Ons (opens in a new tab) protocol by way of the innocuous pinset in the top right corner of Hackpack. Add delightful (opens in a new tab), weird (opens in a new tab) attachments to Hackpack.
Serial port on-board
In the realm of the less esoteric, Hackpacks include a white Seeed Grove connector with 3.3v serial signals broken out.
