Based on her own experiences as an Intelligence Officer for MI5 (the UK domestic security service) and a whistleblower, Annie Machon will talk about the relationships between the wars on 'terror', drugs, whistleblowers, and the internet, and suggest some ideas about what we can do. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5295.html

Im Format einer lockeren Abendshow werden wir die Highlights des Jahres präsentieren, die Meldungen zwischen den Meldungen, die subtilen Sensationen hinter den Schlagzeilen. Kommen Sie, hören Sie, sehen Sie! Lassen Sie sich mitreißen! about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5490.html

Lawful Interception is a monitoring access for law enforcement agencies, but also one of the primary data sources of many surveillance programs. (Almost?) every Internet service provider needs to provide LI functionality in its routers. However, LI exposes a larger attack surface to the one being surveilled than any router should. Could this be a mistake? about this event: http://events.ccc.de/con...

You might remember Tamagotchi virtual pets from the 1990's. These toys are still around and just as demanding as ever! At 29C3, I talked about my attempts to reverse engineer the latest Tamagotchis, and this presentation covers my progress since then. It includes methods for executing code on and dumping code from a Tamagotchi, an analysis of the Tamagotchi code dump and a demonstration of Tamagot...

All “managed FLASH” devices, such as SD, microSD, and SSD, contain an embedded controller to assist with the complex tasks necessary to create an abstraction of reliable, contiguous storage out of FLASH silicon that is fundamentally unreliable and unpredictably fragmented. This controller is an attack surface of interest. First, the ability to modify the block allocation and erasure algorithms int...

Finally, the world is aware of the threat of mass surveillance and control, but we still have a fight on our hands, and that fight is both technical and political. Global democracy is not going to protect itself. There has never been a higher demand for a politically-engaged hackerdom. Jacob Appelbaum and Julian Assange discuss what needs to be done if we are going to win. about this event: http:/...

2013 will be remembered as the year that the Internet lost its innocence for nearly everyone as light was shed on the widespread use of dragnet surveillance by the NSA and intelligence agencies globally. With the uprisings of the Arab Spring where people raided the offices of their regimes to bring evidence to light, we've seen a tremendous phenomenon: a large numbers of whistleblowers have taken...

SCADA StrangeLove team will present their research on ICS systems for the second time on CCC. Last year we showed current situation with security of industrial world and disclosed a big number of vulnerabilities found in Siemens ICS solutions. Part of vulnerabilities, we can say most notable one, wasn’t disclosed due to Responsible Disclosure. This time we already know. We will speak about several...

This is a call for participation in a project aimed to build up an open source based experimental incubator which can be used for variety of food, beverage and bio hacking projects allowing for easy control and monitoring of internal condition like temperature and humidity. Working groups will be established to develop prototypes which can be easily and relatively cheaply assembled. Securing fundi...

Almost all higher-end cars come with very beefy in-car entertainment hardware. In this talk, I'll describe how to take advantage of an existing hands-free kit to connect your car to the internet and script your dashboard in python. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5360.html

An abundant number of existential risks threatens humanity. Many of those planetary by nature. Current science already enables us to colonize nearby space, yet nobody bothers to supply the modest financial resources. Hence this call to action. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5468.html

Did you ever feel the need to be in charge of your environment? We did . A detailed story of our experience playing with 220VAC and water to build an automated, digitally controlled ecosystem. A place, where you can be the climate-change. Double the temperature, triple the floods, let it storm or rain. A Tamagotchi that generates food from electricity. All done with Arduino, raspberry Pi and Node....

Internet-wide network scanning has powerful security applications, including exposing new vulnerabilities, tracking their mitigation, and exposing hidden services. Unfortunately, probing the entire public address space with standard tools like Nmap requires either months of time or large clusters of machines. In this talk, I'll demonstrate ZMap , an open-source network scanner developed by my rese...

With the disappearance of the computer, something else is silently becoming invisible as well — the User. Users are disappearing as both phenomena and term, and this development is either unnoticed or accepted as progress — an evolutionary step. Though the Invisible User is more of an issue than an Invisible Computer. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5547.html

Ken Thompson's classic "Reflections on Trusting Trust" examined the impacts of planted build chain bugs, from an example of a compiler Trojan to a hypothetical "well-placed microcode bug". Once theoretical & remote, such scenarios have lately been revealed as a stark reality. But what if we could have every individual piece of software or firmware in the binary toolchain bug-free, performing just...

We present Magic Lantern, a free open software add-on for Canon DSLR cameras, that offers increased functionality aimed mainly at DSLR pro and power users. It runs alongside Canon's own firmware and introduces to consumer-grade DSLRs features usually only found in professional high-end digital (cinema) cameras. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5554.html

USB DeadDrops, IRL map marker in public, FUCK 3D glasses or How to vacuum form a guy fawkes mask. I will present an extensive overview of my art projects from over the last 10 years including the Fake Google car by F.A.T. and moar!! It all started here at the CCC congress! :)) For more info see link ---> about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5611.html

Satellites in Low Earth Orbit have tons of nifty signals, but they move quickly though the sky and are difficult to track with fine accuracy. This lecture describes a remotely operable satellite tracking system that the author built from a Navy-surplus Inmarsat dish in Southern Appalachia. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5463.html

Learning to program an FPGA is time consuming. Not just do you need to download and install 20 GB of vendor tools, but you also need to wrap your brain around the strange ideas of hardware description languages like VHDL. PSHDL aims to ease the learning curve significantly and provide more people with the ability to program FPGAs. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/event...

Jan Phillip Albrecht is rapporteur of the European Parliament for the EU's General Data Protection Regulation as well as for the EU-US data protection framework agreement. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5601.html

Supersymmetry has been particle theorists' favorite toy for several decades. It predicts a yet unobserved symmetry of nature and implies that to each known type of elementary particle there exists a partner particle none of which has been detected up to today. I will explain why it is an attractive idea nevertheless and what is the current situation after the large hadron collider (LHC) at CERN ha...

"The Pirate Cinema" reveals Peer-to-Peer information flows. It is a composition generated by the activity on file sharing networks. "The Pirate Cinema" immerses the viewer in network flows. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5607.html

This talk will focus on responsible disclosure best and worst practices from both legal and practical perspectives. I'll also focus on usable advice, both positive and negative, and answer any questions the audience has on best practices. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5361.html

This lecture gives an introduction to processor design. It is mostly interesting for people new to processor design and does not cover high performance pipelined structures. Small knowledge on VHDL programming would be great but is not essential. A very small processor core will described here. Demo: Create a backdoor in the VHDL Code of a processor core. Exploit this backdoor to get a root shell...

Die technischen Probleme der De-Mail ließen sich juristisch lösen, und auch bei der E-Mail setzen deutsche Provider bald Sicherheitsstandards der Neunziger Jahre um. Auch für "die Cloud" hat das BSI einen feinen Standard parat – natürlich ohne Verschlüsselung. Wofür bräuchten wir die auch im Schlandnet? about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5210.html
