Our Story: A humorous idea brought to fruition
In 2014, our founder, Gene Bransfield realized a longtime professional goal with his DEF CON 22 presentation, “Weaponizing your Pets: The WarKitteh and the Denial of Service Dog.” He was honored to present at the world's largest underground hacking conference, but why on earth did Gene weaponize a cat? Watch the video to find out.
How did Gene weaponize a pet? He configured a microcontroller, added GPS, Wi-Fi, battery and storage; and miniaturized the solution to a form factor that fit into a cat collar designed and sewn by his wife’s grandmother. He then put the collar on a cat, and that cat wandered around Washington, DC doing Wi-Fi scanning.
The talk was very successful, very amusing, and one of the most popular talks in DEF CON history. Shortly after the conference, people began asking Gene to make the WarKitteh as a product, and so the idea for WarCollar Industries was born. Gene rolled cybersecurity services under the WarCollar name, began work on May the 4th, 2015, and has been growing the company ever since.
Today, WarCollar maintains and supports a team of top notch cybersecurity professionals with expertise in a diverse set of topics and skill sets. We offer cyber defense, cyber offense, compliance, analysis, and other services to protect your company in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
