Within the framework of the "Hacking Words" writing workshop, interested participants will deal with this year's theme of the Shah2017: resilience. The creative writing principle is written for 30 minutes. There is only one motto: do not think of rules, readers, quality or your inner censor. Instead, it is about putting first ideas to paper and getting into the write flow. #Making about this event...

Part 2 of the presentation "DNA: The Code of Life" at SHA2017. This recording was made by Bart Smit and post-processed to compensate for the bad lighting conditions for the projector. The sound improves after the first few minutes. Part one of the presentation is at https://media.ccc.de/v/SHA2017-31-dna_the_code_of_life - slides and more can be found on https://ds9a.nl/dna/ about this event: https...

Join this talk on DECODE, a project that provides tools that put individuals in control of whether they keep their personal data private or share it for the public good. #Privacy #Software about this event: https://c3voc.de

Modern vessels are equipped with all kinds of electronics, to easy navigation, assist in manoevring and -by far the most important- assist in the safety of the ship and its passengers. In this talk, we will evaluate the security principles that have been used to design these systems and how we can break into the onboard systems. #NetworkSecurity #PhysicalSecurity #DeviceSecurity about this event:...

For a long time automobile manufacturers designed their cars as closed systems with no security in mind. Recently security researchers have demonstrated how vulnerable vehicles are to cyber-attacks. Once compromised the vehicle is at the mercy of the hackers: by remotely taking over control of the car, they can perform dramatic actions with severe safety-related consequences for the passengers. Th...

LDraw™ is an open standard for LEGO CAD programs that allow the user to create virtual LEGO models and scenes. You can use it to document models you have physically built, create building instructions just like LEGO, render 3D photo realistic images of your virtual models and even make animations. The possibilities are endless. Unlike real LEGO bricks where you are limited by the number of parts a...

Angels that would like to be a Herald have to attend one of the introductions. This is the third introduction. You will learn how to engage and control a crowd, how to handle a microphone. Heralds are the face of the event and function as a kind of Host on the stage, introducing speakers, moderating Q&As and making sure that everything happends on time about this event: https://c3voc.de

DNA is the code of life. It encodes how we are built, how nature operates. Science learns more and more about this uniquely digital language. This talk will excite hackers & anyone who knows a little bit about computing, since it turns out DNA is better explained in terms of bits than in terms of classical biology.

HRF North Korea Program team will prepare a presentation to educate SHA 2017 participants about how information is currently brought into the tightly controlled closed regime—whether via leaflets dropped by helium-nitrogen balloons, on USB drives and DVDs, or by shortwave radio. The session will explore how individuals and organizations can improve current techniques to hack the regime’s informati...

Slowly ignorance over dataleaks are vanishing. We start to accept that there are vulnerabilities that affect us on a daily basis. Yet we are terribly slow in learning from these incidents. What would you learn if you were to dig deeper into dataleaks as if it were a disaster? During this presentation we explore some lessons learnt. #Privacy #Society about this event: https://c3voc.de

Since early 2015, the University of Twente, SURFnet and SIDN collaborate in the OpenINTEL project. The goal of this project is to perform long-term, large-scale active measurements of the global DNS namespace. Our current coverage is around 60% of the global DNS and included .com, .net, .org, .nl (and other ccTLDs) and most new gTLDs. This talk will explain how we measure at this scale, collecting...

Even though the Snowden revelations for the first time clearly show that mass surveillance of communications is carried out on a global level, little knowledge seems to be available to the general public as well as the hacker community how these so-called COMINT operations actually work. The talk focuses on mass surveillance based on methods known from research of the interdiscplinary field of Com...

Privacy laws are complex and vague. They offer little concrete guidelines for engineers. Privacy design strategies address this issue. They translate vague legal norms into concrete design goals. These can be used to start the conversation on how to design your system in a privacy friendly way from the very start. The outcome is a system that addresses privacy well, but may not be perfect. But tha...

A bug in Gstreamer could be used to own a Linux Desktop system. TCPDump released a security update fixing 42 CVEs. We have far too many security critical bugs in the free and open source software stack. But we have powerful tools to find them - we just have to use them. #Software #DeviceSecurity #Sharing about this event: https://c3voc.de

Tesla Model S, Jeep Cherokee, Mitsubishi Outlander, Nissan Leaf… The list of hacked cars grows every day and security has become a priority in the automotive industry. Until now, most of the security research and security development has been focusing in the higher layers of the software and in car interfaces like the WiFi, Bluetooth, USB or CAN. We, however, tried to assess security at lowest lev...

Four years ago, in a tent at OHM 2013, the Mailpile project and crowd-funding campaign were launched. Our goal was to create a new Free Software e-mail solution that raised the bar on usability, security and privacy. This talk will discuss what has happened since. #Privacy #Software about this event: https://c3voc.de

The IoT is emerging as the third wave in the development of the Internet. We have a great danger with IoT because of the surveillance by an individual hacker or a state actor to exploit the very private information of individuals or companies. We can secure our “Smart Homes” by using TOR. #IoT #NetworkSecurity about this event: https://c3voc.de

In this talk I'm going to go through the problems people are facing in moving from HTTP to HTTPS, why it's sometimes not seen as worthy of the time investment. Which things are broken in web TLS at the moment, but moreover how we actually already have the tools addressing most of the problems and how to use them effectively. I'll also cover the plumbing behind the transactions, the protocols used...

Tor offers great anonymity and privacy for millions of people. However, there are some Tor de-anonymization techniques that work. This presentation demonstrates de-anonymization of Tor hidden services and users. #NetworkSecurity about this event: https://c3voc.de

What will the recent rapid progress in machine learning and AI mean for the fields of computer security and privacy? This talk gives a tour of some answers, and some unanswered questions. It will discuss new types of attacks and surveillance that are becoming possible due with modern neural networks, and some new research problems that the computer security community should be working on. #Machine...

How does the public view whistleblowers? Would they use social media, blogs or other methods to blow the whistle? We report on gold-standard public polls across 4 European countries. We will present recent cases in Europe, and track the progress - and setbacks - in European protections. #Privacy #Society #Politics #SurveillanceState about this event: https://c3voc.de

Legislation is said to be slow to follow technological developments. This not only has an impact on the capacity of the police and intelligence services, but also has negative impact on the freedoms of citizens. In this talk I'll discuss some of the recurring issues and possibly solutions. #Politics #Privacy about this event: https://c3voc.de
