On Saturday, I sat in a crowded ballroom at Caesar's Forum in Vegas and watched @sickcodes jailbreak a John Deere tractor's control unit live, before an audience of cheering @defcon 30 attendees (and, possibly, a few undercover Deere execs, who often attend Sickcodes's talks). 1/ A vintage John Deere tracto...
