Louis Piano (Qweary) is a red teamer who happens to also be a locksmith for the US Department of the Army. He researches the collision of physical and digital security; demonstrating that the boundary between them was always imaginary. His hardware work includes a year-long reverse engineering project against institutional electronic locks, from NAND flash dumps to hand-patched TI assembly firmware hooks. On the cyber side, he builds multi-agent AI swarms with agentic capabilities for red team operations. Most recently, he deployed them at WRCCDC regionals, where Anthropic sponsored a blue team of 30-40 Claude instances defending against both his swarm and the human red team; this was a first-of-its-kind experiment to see the impact of augmented red team operations vs agentic blue team defense in a live competition. Based in Olympia, WA, he volunteers with OlyMega makerspace and believes persistence matters more than pedigree. This is his first conference talk.
