We will examine the European Commission’s proposal for a regulation on preventing the dissemination of terrorist content from as a radical form of censorship. Looking at the rationale and arguments of policy-makers in Brussels, we will discuss normalisation of a “do something doctrine” and “policy-based evidence”. How can citizens and activists influence that legislative process? And what does it...

Seit Anfang 2019 hat David jeden einzelnen Halt jeder einzelnen Zugfahrt auf jedem einzelnen Fernbahnhof in ganz Deutschland systematisch gespeichert. Inklusive Verspätungen und allem drum und dran. Und die werden wir in einem bunten Vortrag erforschen und endlich mal wieder ein bisschen Spaß mit Daten haben. Rechtlicher Hinweis: Es liegt eine schriftliche Genehmigung der Bahn vor, von ihr abgeruf...

Civil society depends on the continuing ability of citizens to communicate with one another, without fear of interference, deprivation or eavesdropping. As the international political climate changes alongside that of our physical climatic environment, we must find ways to create mobile communications systems that are truly resilient and sustainable in the face of such shocks. We have therefore id...

Xbox 360 video game console had a number of widely known hacks for firmware of its optical disc drives. However, it was never the case with Blu-ray disc drives of Sony PlayStation video game consoles. In fact, up until recently there was no much information available on this subject publicly. In this presentation, I would like to share my journey of delving deep into internals and security of Sony...

Wäre der Staat ein Betriebssystem, würden wir uns natürlich wünschen, dass er nach den Prinzipien freier Software verwaltet wird. Die Prozesse sollten möglichst transparent ablaufen, sodass jeder nachprüfen kann, wenn irgendwo was schief läuft. Natürlich sollte die Gestaltung der Prozesse nicht in einer Blackbox passieren und der Code sollte zum Verändern und Mitmachen einladen. Ich bin der Meinun...

Von antifeministischen Hasskampagnen bis zu Mental Load, von unangemessenen Preisvergaben bis zu intersektionalen Fragezeichen, von Megan Rapinoe bis zu Greta Thunberg – es gibt viel zu besprechen. Zeit für einen empowernden feministischen Jahresrückblick! „Reichlich Randale“ ist ein Personal-Pöbel-Podcast – inklusive exklusiver Becci-Rants. „Reichlich Randale“ ist feministisch, fußballverliebt, i...

Building a social network on top of net2o, and importing your existing data I've a dream: A peer-to-peer network, where services like search engines or social networks aren't offered by big companies, who in turn need to make money by selling the privacy of their users. Where all data is encrypted, so that access is only possible for people who have the key and really are authorized. Which layman...

Old school DNS is unencrypted and thus prone to MITM-Attacks or DNS-Hijacking. DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) is trying to solve this finally by encrypting DNS-requests between the client and the resolver. There have been previous (failed) attempts of encrypting DNS, but DoH seems to be the most promising so far, because browser makers such as Mozilla and Google are pushing the adoption and plan to roll thi...

Can nuclear warheads be used as energy sources instead of exhausting resources? And if, how does this even work? Concerns during the cold war era mainly focused on the diversion of Uranium intended for commercial nuclear power towards usage in weapons. During the 1990s, these concerns gave way to a focus on the role of military Uranium as a major source of fuel for commercial nuclear power. Can nu...

Before media art has emerged, traditional art and dance are already applying algorithms to make sophisticated patterns in their textures or movements. Hieda is researching the use of algorithm through creation of media installations and dialog with artists, dancers, choreographers and musicians. He also presents his current interest in machine learning and art which potentially exclude (or already...

Development-fused iPhones with hardware debugging features like JTAG are out of reach for many security researchers. This talk takes you along my journey to create a similar capability using off-the-shelf iPhones. We'll look at a way to break KTRR, a custom hardware mitigation Apple developed to prevent kernel patches, and use this capability to load a kernel extension that enables full-featured,...

The unprecedented charges against Julian Assange and WikiLeaks constitute the most significant threat to the First Amendment in the 21st century and a clear and present danger to investigative journalism worldwide. But they also pose significant dangers to the technical community. This panel will explain the legal and political issues we all need to understand in order to respond to this historic...

Geheime Einschätzungen des Verfassungsschutzes zur AfD, ungünstiges Framing bei der ARD, intransparente Moderation bei Tiktok: In diesem Jahr haben wir mit so mancher Recherche Schlagzeilen gemacht. Hier wollen wir auf einige interessante Geschichten aus 2019 schauen und einen Blick hinter die Kulissen von netzpolitik.org geben. „Off The Record“ gibt monatlich Einblicke in de...

What sort of tools and methodologies should you use to write software for a car that will go on sale in 2023, if you have to support security patches and safety upgrades till 2043? Now that we’re putting software and network connections into cars and medical devices, we’ll have to patch vulnerabilities, as we do with phones. But we can't let vendors stop patching them after three years, as they do...

Individuals conducting reverse engineering for research purposes face several legal issues arising from IP and competition law. The legislation has reacted by introducing a new law on trade secrets specifically allowing reverse engineering. While the new law is certainly an improvement, many questions still remain as to conflicts with opposing domestic laws as well as other possibilities to waive...

Bahn API Chaos Wir schauen uns mal wieder Bahn APIs an. Diesmal mehr Wagenreihungs Fakten und interessante unregelmäßigkeiten in den verschiedenen APIs. Warum zum Beispiel gibt es bei marudor.de ein "isActuallyIC" wenn doch eigentlich die Zuggattung mitkommt. Warum gibt es "realFahrtrichtung" wenn es auch eine "fahrtrichtung" property gibt. Unregelmäßigkeiten in den Bahn APIs zwangen mich erfinder...

FSK Modems sind die einfachste praktikable Form von Modems. Sie sind so einfach, dass mit relativ wenig Aufwand bauen kann. Dabei kann man sie unterschiedlich realisieren von relativ einfachen von einfachen Digitalschaltungen bis hin zu einfachen Softwarelösungen. Auch wenn heute die Übertragung von Daten über Telefonleitungen nicht mehr so relevant ist, gibt es immer noch Anwendungen wie beispiel...

With Nextcloud you can sync, share and collaborate on data, but you don't need to put your photos, calendars or chat logs on an American server. Nope, Nextcloud is self-hosted and 100% open source! Thanks to hundreds of apps, Nextcloud can do a lot and in this talk, I will highlight some cool things. Consider this a follow-up from my talk about 200 things Nextcloud can do last year! An update on w...

In this talk we will take a look at the 'Vault 7' Protego documents, which have received very little attention so far, and challenge the assertion that Protego was a 'suspected assassination module for [a] GPS guided missile system ... used on-board Pratt & Whitney aircraft' based on system block diagrams, build instructions and a few interesting news items. In addition, we will discuss hypothetic...

Robots, Satellites and biometrical traps - more than a Billion Euro will be spent in 2021 for what they call "Border Security." The European Border and Coastguard, formerly Frontex, dreams of a fully automomus border surveillance system. As a humanitarian & human rights organisation involved in sea rescue, we recognise however that the shift towards new technologies correlates with a shift away fr...
