The internet of things (IoT) is just at the beginning of its development, but there are already various examples of so-called fails, which are not coming from the pen of science fiction authors. In my talk, I present current examples that I collected as a journalist and did write about that might sound like science fiction, but actually have already taken place. I am also presenting collected solu...

An in-depth demonstration of the process of creating video game music on an authentic retro computer - namely, the ZX Spectrum. Over the course of an hour I will attempt to create, from scratch, a chiptune cover version of a pop song chosen by the audience. Along the way, I'll explain the hardware limitations that give rise to the well-known blip-blop sound of chiptunes, and the tricks that musici...

What does it mean to be free in a world where surveillance is the dominant business model? Databrokers turn our data into thousands of reputation scores, which are increasingly impacting our chances to get a job, a loan, insurance or even a date. As awareness of this grows we see a growing culture of self-censorship and risk-aversion. In the long term these chilling effects could seriously 'cool d...

BRING YOUR LAPTOPS. CHARGE THEM! Ever wondered how webpages arrive in your browser? How zmap works? Want to get your first hands-on experience using wireshark? To learn all that you need to learn the basic networking concepts. You're in luck as this is a hands-on networking workshop preceded by a lecture. We will cover such topics as the ISO/OSI model, Ethernet, IP, TCP, UDP, routing, and wireshar...

Detecting a breach is hard, detecting someone who targets your network specifically is even harder. As pentesters, we notice that we often remain undetected and breaching an infrastructure via an external server generally goes unnoticed. However, indications of our breach could definitely have been picked up, we could have been detected. So, why weren’t we? This talk focusses on using simple detec...

The MissingMaps project started almost three years ago. Since then, all over the world people have contributed to OpenStreetMap in those areas where maps are really needed and mostly missing: right where the Red Cross and Medicin Sans Frontieres have their fieldworkers to help in disaster areas, and areas with disasters waiting to happen. During SHA there will be an ongoing Mapathon at the Maptime...

European Commission plans are underway to introduce an extra copyright for news sites and an obligation for internet platforms to surveil all user uploads in the EU. We can still stop these dangerous plans, but not without your help. #Copyright #Politics about this event: https://c3voc.de

A timely reaction to security incidents is without doubts important. And while the techniques of digital forensics can come pretty close to perfect for single-host systems with small hard drive capacity, things can get easily messy with 10+ systems, a mixture of operating systems & mobile devices of various brands, or gigabit network traffic that is partly encrypted. This talk contains two parts....

Last decades I have made 3 films with technological aspects. Since I am not a nerd, but a writer/ journalist/ filmmaker with an interest in technology, science and, I can offer SHA to show my 3 films (eventually the last one TEETH with a short lecture). For debate and for fun. You can find more about me and my work on my own company http://poppeenpartners.nl/ #Community #Robot about this event: ht...

Copyright is failing young people and their usage of the internet everyday, but a positive change will not come on its own. We present the outcomes of our copyright campaign so far, discuss how to move forward and engage with young participants of SHA2017. #Copyright about this event: https://c3voc.de

All consumer electronics have integrated digital radios. Many with standardized specifications like WiFi, 3G/4G modems, but closed source radio base-bands with a mix of dedicated, power-efficient hardware-and software. Proprietary extensions can be implemented, patented and used to prevent others from gaining market share. Some examples will be presented. #Sharing #NetworkSecurity about this event...

We all are aware of the malware attacks and bot-net's behind this massive illegal industry which drains out pockets and even take our lives. This criminal organisations have own rules and own secrets that they don't want us to reveal. They like to infect hack and control the victims without get caught by law enforcements. We all know that end-point security is not enough for the zero day malware a...

In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy. Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or d...

The Trusted Boot Module is an open hardware module that enables all kind of devices (routers, embedded boards, laptops, desktops) to boot to a trusted state by loading only trusted code - while keeping the owner of the hardware in control. #PhysicalSecurity #DeviceSecurity about this event: https://c3voc.de

The goal of Quantum Internet project at TU Delft is to build an optically-connected network of many (small) quantum computers. Such a network enables the exchange of quantum bits between any of the connected quantum processors in order to solve problems that are intractable classically. #science #networksecurity about this event: https://c3voc.de

In this talk, I will talk about some interesting applications of maths to video games, including how the find the shortest possible route to complete Pac-Man and the 3- and 4-dimensional shapes that 2D video game characters spend their time on. #Gaming #Science about this event: https://c3voc.de

We will take you behind the scenes of a call center that placed over 5 million calls to Dutch phone numbers and employed around 60 people. We will show how these call centers operate and how they convince their victims to pay for their ‘services’. You will see the social engineering techniques that are used by the scammers. We will also show that we could easily obtain the list of 5 million potent...

Much of today's technology is said to be disruptive. In most cases, this means that technology can turn around the winners and losers of an entire branch. But recent digital attacks have shown that technology can also disrupt our entire society rather easily. There are many reason for that, one of them being issues surrounding the deployment of patches. Installing the patches that eliminates vulne...

In the 90's there was a political struggle about control of the availability of cryptographic technologies. Ultimately, it was won because certain industries aligned with civil society. Or it least it appears as if it was won. Since it is back. Trump, May and Macron have all demanded backdoors. In September the European Commission is slated to come up with a proposal. In this lecture we cover the...
