Radio amateurs have been building and operating satellites for almost fifty years now, and we are aiming for more. In this talk, I'll present who AMSAT is, what we have achieved in the last fifty years, and what we are working on now. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4594.en.html

Moon bounce, also known as EME (Earth-Moon-Earth), is a technique that allows two earth-based radio stations to communicate directly by using the moon as passive reflector. It is the longest path two stations on Earth can use to establish direct connection with each other. First developed the late 1940s by the United States Navy it was used as a revolutionary way to communicate without the uncerta...

In 2011, mur.at will have a nano satellite launched into a low earth orbit (310 km above the surface of our planet). The satellite itself is the evolved descendant of a TubeSat personal satellite kit from Interorbital Systems. mur.sat is a joint venture of mur.at, ESC im Labor and realraum. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4575.en.html

Today, more and more real-world things and machines are equipped with some kind of connection back home to the vendor. Such machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is often poorly secured and some day, the shit will hit the fan! about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4439.en.html

Everything we do as technologists depends on the critical minerals from which our devices are made. Recycling junk electronics is no longer just the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4443.en.html

A few short weeks ago, APNIC's supply of IPv4 address space reached depletion. ARIN and the RIPE NCC will follow soon, most likely somewhere this year. In this talk I will discuss the history of the internet as seen from the point of view of the RIRs. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4497.en.html

Opensource-solar.org is working on open hardware power supplies for off-grid applications. The systems consist of self-build solar panels, charge controllers with microcontroller, and LiFePo4 rechargeable batteries. Green energy for your gadgets ! about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4476.en.html

Journalism needs hackers to survive. We present our project to revolutionize online news and encourage you to start your own. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4491.en.html

Retrieval of information is essential for every experiment, especially involving rockets. The use of electromagnetic waves is the natural choice for communication with a rocket and sometimes the only means to retrieve flight hardware afterwards. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4466.en.html

Dependent types expand the concept of types in programming languages by arbitrary predicates depending on the value of the type. This lecture will introduce the concept and show how it can be used to develop formally verified code. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4426.en.html

In January 2011 the fear of all internauts became bitter truth. A whole country was kill-switched by the government. The flow of data was interrupted, communication laid waste. Not only the Internets was taken down, other means of communication were interrupted too. Cell Phone providers took down their services. So, there was no Internets in Egypt. Internauts had no chance to communicate what is h...

Remember when networks represented interesting targets, when TCP/IP was itself a vector for messiness, when packet crafting was a required skill? about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4555.en.html

Financing The Revolution is a discussion about digital currencies with a particular emphasis on Bitcoin, a new distributed peer-to-peer electronic currency. Digital cash and Bitcoin in particular have caused many new and interesting markets to appear, and these are examined as well as the link between economic freedom and the expression of other basic rights. Keywords: digital cash, cryptography,...

Die atomar verstrahlten Ruinen eines ehemaligen Kernkraftwerkes sind Symbole für das bevorstehende Ende der Zivilisation, aber gleichzeitig die Wunschmaschine, die alle Sehnsüchte stillen kann. Dieser Ort ist nicht Fukushima und auch nicht Tschernobyl, sondern der Zielort der Protagonisten im Roman „Picknick am Wegesrand“ der russischen Autorenbrüder Arkadi und Boris Strugazki. about this event: h...

The internet is increasingly falling under the control and restrictions of governments and multinational corporations. Internet connections are filtered and censored, not only in China but blatantly so in 'western' countries such as Australia and Canada. The content industry is clamping down on infringement on intellectual property and calls for ever more far-fetching and over-reaching laws to be...

The talk will give the audience an introduction to the world of runtime reconfigurable processors. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4399.en.html

This presentation will show how the RCMP, CSIS, CSEC and other groups worked to "secure" the 2010 Olympics, G8 and G20 by criminalising dissent, and the use of "Open Source Surveillance" to attempt to crack down on all opposition to these mega-events. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4395.en.html

Windenergie ist momentan noch interessanter geworden, aber kaum jemand weiß über die eingesetzte Technik Bescheid. Daher soll sowohl der Aufbau als auch der Betrieb erklärt werden. Zusätzlich wird auf potentielle Probleme eingegangen. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4435.en.html

In 2002, Ghosh et al released a study which found that in F/LOSS coder/hacker communities, only 1.5% of members were female. This participation-heavy session is about the challenges of immersive ethnographic research in a time of gender transformation. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4487.en.html

Viele von uns sitzen länger vorm Rechner als es ihnen gut tut, irgendwann geht dann die Suche nach einer geeigneten Sportart los … about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4549.en.html

Smart cards chips – originally invented as a protection for cryptographic keys – are increasingly used to keep protocols secret. This talk challenges the chips' security measures to unlock the protocols for public analysis. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4500.en.html

The digital professional mobile radio system TETRA is used by a wide range of users in almost all continents of the world. The OsmocomTETRA project has created a software radio receiver for the TETRA air interface, similar to what airprobe has done for GSM. Using this receiver plus associated protocol analysis tools, we are able to investigate and research the security level of real-world TETRA ne...

What comes after capitalism? We will give an overview on the development of complementary and alternative monetary systems: Which ones are there to stay, how they influence social development, how they can be improved and why hackers should really care. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/Fahrplan/events/4450.en.html
