Tracking is so 1990s. Nowadays MP3 and other similar formats are overwhelmingly more popular. But is this really a step forward? A (very) brief history of computer music, where we are at now, and why I think people are headed in the wrong direction. And what we can do about it. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4759.en.html

The Best of the oXcars! OXcars is fun. oXcars is empowering the people. Presentation and screening of the best of the oXcars 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008. Because their business is not our business. Every year, in Barcelona 1500 people gather for the biggest free/libre culture Show of all times ;-). Artists and performers from all areas of Spanish and international culture take part in a "Gala";-) in wh...

The proposed talk provides a definition of the problem of creating e-money and after a review of the state of the art points out possible solutions and proposes questions for discussion for the properties of electronic money system. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4668.en.html

Herkömmliche Festplattenverschlüsselungen legen notwendige Schlüssel im RAM ab. Dadurch sind sie schutzlos Angriffen wie Cold-Boot Attacken ausgeliefert, die auf den Arbeitsspeicher abzielen. TRESOR bietet Schutz gegen solche Angriffe. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4869.en.html

This project investigates techniques to track the 6DOF position of handheld depth sensing cameras, such as Kinect, as they move through space and perform high quality 3D surface reconstructions for interaction. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4928.en.html

All of us who did attend are still dreaming. All of us who did not attend are still weeping. The CCCamp 2011. This film recapitulates all the great moments that took place during summer this year. All the great moments. Really. All of them. English and German with English subs (still improvable, though). about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4932.en.html

This talk deals with weaknesses identified in the TOR network protocol and cryptography implementation. We manage to take control over users using this network and to access all your information and data exchanged despite cryptography. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4581.en.html

Auch dieses Jahr werden wir euch wieder mit den Fnords des Jahres zu unterhalten suchen. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4866.en.html

C64 "demos" were the root of the whole demo-scene-thing and they are still the main force keeping the C64 alive today. Audiovisual pleasure, still pushing hardware limits, still exploring different ways of expression. But what is typically happening inside the machine when you watch a demo? What effort is needed to entertain the audience? This talk will give you an inside look at the steps taken f...

This brief session focuses on the visualization of actual security incidents, network forensics and counter surveillance of covert criminal communications utilizing large data sets from various security logs and a very brief introduction to correlation engine logic. Visually displaying security or network issues can express the risk or urgency in a way a set of dry logs or other methods might not...

Kaum hat es begonnen, da ist es auch schon wieder vorbei – das Jahr 2011. Also ist es wieder an der Zeit für den Rückblick auf Technikforschung und Nerd-Lobbyismus mit Hackerperspektive, der natürlich nie ohne Ausblick ist. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4908.en.html

Network printers are ubiquitous fixtures within the modern IT infrastructure. Residing within sensitive networks and lacking in security, these devices represent high-value targets that can theoretically be used not only to manipulate and exfiltrate the sensitive information such as network credentials and sensitive documents, but also as fully functional general-purpose bot-nodes which give attac...

FragDenStaat.de startete am 1. August 2011 als Plattform zum Stellen von Anfragen nach dem Informationsfreiheitsgesetz und veröffentlicht dort die Korrespondenz mit den Behörden nach dem Vorbild von whatdotheyknow.com and befreite-dokumente.de. Der Vortrag wird die Plattform vorstellen, zeigen wie die Seite Antragssteller bei ihrem Recht auf Akteneinsicht unterstützt und die interes...

Bitcoin is the first distributed, digital currency. It received a lot of attention recently as it questions the state monopoly to issue legal tender. It relies on distributed proof-of-work concepts to ensure money-like characteristics. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4746.en.html

Eine nüchterne Untersuchung der Verfahren zum Nutzertracking und des wirtschaftlichen Wertes von Tracking- und Userdaten. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4788.en.html

We got a new rover and it's much more awesome than last year! Ok, there's a bit more to it :-) The basics, we are team of part-time scientists and engineers who want to send a rover to the moon before the end of the year 2013. There is a lot to be done towards this first private moon landing and we want to take the chance to explore what we want to do and show what we already accomplished in the p...

Stylometry is the art of detecting authorship of a document based on the linguistic style present in the text. As authorship recognition methods based on machine learning have improved, they have also presented a threat to privacy and anonymity. We have developed two open-source tools, Stylo and Anonymouth, which we will release at 28C3 and introduce in this talk. Anonymouth aids individuals in ob...

This talk will describe the Sovereign Key system, an EFF proposal for improving the security of SSL/TLS connections against attacks that involve Certificate Authorities (CAs) or portions of the DNSSEC hierarchy. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4798.en.html

Almost everyone uses the packet oriented transmission modes of cellular networks. However, unlike TCP/IP, Ethernet and Wifi, not many members of the hacker commnunity are familiar with the actual protocol stack for those services. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4663.en.html

This talk is cautionary tale about developers forgetting to remove debug interfaces from finished products and the need of repetitive system reviews. A midrange PBX systems (non web) configuration interface is used as an example of what flaws you can actually find in commercial systems. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4656.en.html

The lessons and best practices of the titanic will be extracted. Are we ready? This will be a co-presentation (Jean-Jacques Quisquater / David Samyde) and occasional friendly exchange, with point and counter-point of different contrasting views on the impact of solving integer factorization and some other difficult problem in cryptography. The idea is to perform a provocative comparison between th...

Writing secure code is hard.  Even when people do it basically right there are sometimes edge cases that can be exploited. Most the time writing code that works isn’t even the hard part,  it’s keeping up with the changing attack techniques while still keeping an eye on all the old issues that can come back to bite you, straddling the ancient world of the 90’s RFCs and 2010’s HTML5 compatible brows...

The latest member of the Osmocom-family projects, osmo-gmr focuses on the GMR-1 (GEO Mobile Radio) air interface used in some satellite Phones. This talk will shortly present the GMR protocol, the Thuraya network that uses this protocol in the Eurasian/African and Australian continents and finally details how you can capture samples and process them for analysis using osmo-gmr. about this event: h...
