Journalists, while structurally and economically under threat, are bringing computer science into their newsrooms. Their tools and techniques benefit from computer science in areas such as databases, graph analysis and machine learning and allow journalists to tackle new kinds of stories. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/Fahrplan/events/7419.html

Im April 2015 hat die österreichische Bundesregierung einen Entwurf für ein "Polizeiliches Staatsschutzgesetz" vorgelegt. Damit soll ein neuer Inlandsgeheimdienst mit weitreichenden Überwachungsbefugnissen geschaffen werden. Unabhängige Kontrolle durch Gerichte und das Parlament ist nicht vorgesehen. Bereits in der Begutachtungsphase wurde das Gesetz massiv kritisiert. Der AKVorrat gab mit einer u...

This talk gives an overview on state-of-the-art wireless security concepts: How can we analyze wireless protocols? How can we build mechanisms that are secure even when the attacker has unlimited computational power? Can we exploit wireless transmission for more? about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/Fahrplan/events/7119.html

Using follower bombing as art performances, the artists Constant Dullaart continues the research into attention and identity as a commodity on social networks, and has recently created a large sum of custom created artificial Facebook identities. Many websites offer an option to login in with Facebook credentials due to the strict controle of the service on the reliability and verification of the...

Two years after the invitation to build your own iSP at 30C3, I'd like to invite everyone to take part in building a better Internet with the Internet Cube project. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/Fahrplan/events/7401.html

Die Landesverrat-Affäre um netzpolitik.org hat gezeigt, wie wichtig es ist, nicht nur aus staatlichen Dokumenten zu zitieren, sondern sie im Original zu veröffentlichen. Ideales Werkzeug dafür ist das Informationsfreiheitsgesetz (IFG). Wir geben einen Überblick über die Entwicklungen dieses Jahr rund um das IFG. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/Fahrpla...

Hacking receives growing attention among social scientists during the last five years. Researchers particularly in the fields of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer-Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW) but also in the social sciences generally have begun to study hacking empirically—investigating hacking as a practice and as cultural phenomenon. The talk offers a glimpse of the spectrum o...

The lecture outlines strategies by the "Artist against 419" online community that uses open source intelligence to gather data and file reports about fraudulent websites. The lecture presents the artistic installation "Megacorp." (created by KairUs) that tries to visualize the global phenomenon of fake business websites. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/Fahrplan/events/7219.ht...

Giant billboard vans, drone-operated leaflet drops over an NSA building and calls to secret service agents, Intelexit explores all routes to reach out to secret service agents and convince them to follow their conscience and quit their jobs. We will take a look at the highlights of the campaign from 2015 and what's around the corner for 2016. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/F...

Entropy, the randomness used in many critical cryptography processes including key generation, is as important as it is misunderstood. Many myths are fueled by misleading documentation. This presentation aims to provide simple and actionable information while explaining the core technical details and real world implementations. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/Fahrplan/events/...

Free software and hardware are essential to sovereignty among developing nations, and can be used to secure infrastructure and information against sophisticated adversaries. Underdeveloped nations are leveraging Free software for these purposes, including Gaza and the Palestinian territories. This lecture discusses the Palestinian use of Free software and hardware to claim a kind of sovereignty, f...

This talk will be an overview of how to reverse-engineer Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) firmware, the replacement for BIOS. Various useful tools will be discussed, including those written by the presenter and those written by others. One of the highlights will be a tool that enables running parts of the firmware in userspace on a standard Operating System. about this event: https://e...

How have the media reported the Snowden revelations? Does the public care about surveillance, and how do people react? Do we need a ‚data justice‘ movement? about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/Fahrplan/events/7388.html

20 OSCILLATORS IN 20 MINUTES is an experimental music performance/technical challenge/standup comedy act where I attempt to build twenty sound generating square wave oscillators in twenty minutes. This involves fabricating small electronic circuits with wires, chips, small components and nine-volt batteries under the pressure of limited time and expectation. This is a test of my technical abilitie...

QR codes have rapidly overtaken rival 2D bar code symbologies and are becoming quite ubiquitous. Most uses are rather pedestrian though, and even the more non-standard modifications to pure QR codes lack a certain technical finesse, opting to just overpaint part of the code and let error correction handle that instead. Let's see how we can do better. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congres...

The Backbone team from AS201701 (Freifunk Rheinland e. V.) gives an update about peering, future planning for 2016 and a summary about things going on in 2015. about this event:

Street level surveillance technology, such as surveillance cameras and iris scanners, is now a pervasive part of the daily lives of city dwellers, with disastrous consequences for freedom of expression. This talk will cover what kind of street level technology we’re seeing, how it’s spreading, and who’s making money off of it. We’ll also talk about some of the security flaws hackers have exposed o...

Mass quantities of data are being incorporated into predictive systems in an ever-broadening set of fields. In many cases, these algorithms operate in the dark and their use has implications both intentional and unintentional. This talk will cover some of the fairness and accountability issues involved in controlling algorithms for media, policy, and policing. about this event: https://events.ccc....

The talk „We Lost The War“ was presented at Congress ten years ago, causing quite a stir. It was a prediction of a dark future that did not sit well with many people, but unfortunately many predictions have come true meanwhile. This talk will try to address what comes next, as well as what the hacker community can do to make things better. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/Fahr...

3D printers are almost everywhere, but not on the moon yet. We want to change that and this talk gives you a little insight into the how and whys of 3D printing on the moon. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/Fahrplan/events/7336.html

CAGE exists to highlight abuses of the War on Terror. It has uncovered many secrets of governments that they would like to remain secret, and is now one of the most targeted organisations in the UK. Hear how the state attempts to suppress dissent, and yet we manage to speak out. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/Fahrplan/events/7443.html

Introduction and consequences of the CJEU's "Safe Harbor" ruling, to invalidate the EU-US data sharing deal in the light of the revelations over US surveillance by Edward Snowden. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/Fahrplan/events/7513.html

Last year I presented research showing how to de-anonymize programmers based on their coding style. This is of immediate concern to open source software developers who would like to remain anonymous. On the other hand, being able to de-anonymize programmers can help in forensic investigations, or in resolving plagiarism claims or copyright disputes. I will report on our new research findings in th...

This talk is about Vehicle2Vehicle (V2V) communication in Europe and in the U.S. Next to the introduction of some requirements for V2V communication, the basic approaches of V2V communication based on IEEE 802.11p are presented. This includes an introduction to communication stack, concepts of message dissemination, message contents, privacy & security issues and an outlook to further developments...
