Als kurzfristiger Ersatz für eine ausgefallenen Vortrag wurde die Entwicklung von Wikileaks kurz nachgezeichnet, bis hin zu den derzeit entstehenden weiteren Leaking-Plattformen. Im Mittelpunkt stand die Frage welchen Nutzen Wikileaks & Co. für Whistleblower bieten, welche Voraussetzungen für ihre anonyme Nutzung bestehen und wie die Entwicklung weitergehen wird. about this event: http://events.cc...

In 1998, the EFF built "Deep Crack", a machine designed to perform a walk over DES's 56-bit keyspace in nine days, for $250.000. With today's FPGA technology, a cost decrease of 25x can be achieved, as the copacobana project has shown. If that's still too much, two approaches should be considered: Recycling hardware and distributed computing. This talk will be about combining both approaches for t...

Are you writing a program that sends data through the Internet? Are you sending the data through HTTP, or SMTP, or simply TCP, leaving it vulnerable to espionage, corruption, and sabotage by anyone who owns a machine connected to the same network? You can use SSH and IPsec to protect communication with your own machines, but how do you talk to the rest of the Internet? You can use TCPcrypt to prot...

Node.js is a library that provides non-blocking I/O for Google's V8 JavaScript engine. This talk explores node's suitability for a diverse range of networking applications. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4142.en.html

The MOS 6502 CPU, which was designed in 1975 and powered systems like the Apple II, the Atari 2600, the Nintendo NES and the Commodore 64 for two decades, has always been subject to intense reverse engineering of its inner workings. Only recently, the Visual6502.org project has converted a hi-res die-shot of the 6502 into a polygon model suitable for visually simulating the original mask at the tr...

Monitoring and reporting about elections in a war zone is a complex and dangerous task. While crisis mapping carried out via sms and email proved highly successful with the use of Ushahidi in situations like post-election violence in Kenya, tracking crime in Atlanta, or earthquake recovery in Haiti, could it prove useful in such a complex situation as the Afghan political process? This year a team...

4 minutes for every speaker. Learn about the good, the bad, and the ugly - in software, hardware, projects, and more. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4296.en.html

GSM is still the most widely used security technology in the world with a user base of 5 billion and a quickly growing number of critical applications. 26C3's rainbow table attack on GSM's A5/1 encryption convinced many users that GSM calls should be considered unprotected. The network operators, however, have not woken up to the threat yet. Perhaps the new capabilities to be unleashed this year –...

The Part-Time Scientists is an international team of Scientists and Engineers participating in the first private race to the moon, the Google Lunar X-Prize. Our approach to win this competition is quite unique as everyone involved really is a part-time scientist. In our presentation we will present our latest lunar rover, lander, electronic and communications developments. about this event: http:/...

Corey Cerovsek and Julien Quentin, accomplished musicians known worldwide for their classical recital performances, present something that's not quite an ordinary concert, to draw attention to the importance of the public domain in centuries of classical music tradition. It's both more — and less — than what you might expect to see and hear at a classical concert. about this event: http://events.c...

My name is Nicholas Merrill and I was the plaintiff in a legal case in the US court system where I challenged the FBI’s policy of using a feature of the so-called USA PATRIOT act - what are called “National Security Letters” - to bypass the American Constitution's system of checks and balances and in violation of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights - in order to obtain protect...

The birth of the modern science of acoustics was directly intertwined with the desires to surveill and communicate, either in secret or to everybody at once. Acoustics was not just about 'learning more about nature,' right from the start it was an applied science, driven by very clear notions of who has the right, and thus should have the possibility, of listening in on others, who needs to be abl...

The security model of our current computer architectures - kernel in ring 0, processes in ring 3 - goes back to the early 70s. However, science hasn't stopped. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4123.en.html

Auditive steganography allows for various usage scenarios. In our project we focused on hidden communications in VoIP and GSM in which voice data is typically compressed and transmitted in realtime. A framework has been developed to meet these requirements, providing interfaces for robust steganographic algorithms. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4138.en.html

Getting the interfaces right to computers controlling complex and dangerous machines such as commercial airliners is crucial. I will present a successful accident analysis method and talk about interface design problems, ideas for solutions, methods for understanding causal control flow. There will be some spectacular aviation accident videos and stories of bad luck, bad design, bad decisions, and...

The EFF SSL Observatory has collected a dataset of all TLS/HTTPS certificates visible on the public web. We discuss this dataset - what we have learned from it, how you can use it, and how intend to offer a live, continually updated version of it. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4121.en.html

Unsafe languages and an arms race for new bugs calls for an additional line of defense in software systems. User-space virtualization uses dynamic instrumentation to detect different attack vectors and protects from the execution of malicious code. An additional advantage of these virtualization systems is that they can be used to analyze different exploits step by step and to extract the exploit...

Are you ready to wake up from the cult of Arduino? Tired of plugging together black-box pre-built modules like a mindless drone, copying and pasting in code you found on Hackaday? You've soldered together your TV-Be-Gone, built your fifth Minty Boost, and your bench is awash with discarded Adafruit packaging and Make magazines. It's time to stop this passive consumption. It's time to create someth...

Der Vortrag soll Techniken aufzeigen, mit denen man Netzwerk-Protokolle identifizieren kann, die in Layer 7 des OSI-Modells angesiedelt sind. Alle Techniken - darunter auch die Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) - werden technisch erläutert und kritisch bewertet. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4097.en.html

Bring your target. Will release a slew of simple tools that explore attack surfaces and explain of how to use: jtag/serial scanners, parallel flash dumper, DePCB board routing analysis. So, crossover from software RE and start hacking/improving like its 1996 again.

Geht es mit der Netzneutralität zu Ende? Was haben wir den Lobbyisten und PR-Leuten der Telekommunikationsunternehmen argumentativ entgegenzusetzen? Was sind die Fakten, was gehört ins Reich der Mythen? about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4094.en.html

Für den neuen elektronischen Personalausweis sind drei verschiedene Lesegeräteklassen spezifiziert, von denen die einfachste bereits einige Kritik erfahren hat. Nach der Diskussion um die Sicherheit des Personalausweises stellt sich die Frage: Können zertifizierte Lesegeräte den neuen Ausweis schützen? about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4297.en.html

Starting in the beginning of August 2010 and lasting until the mid of November, the project AllColoursAreBeautiful by the Munich chapter of the Chaos Computer Club was serving as a platform for interested people on the world to illuminate, animate and interact with the front of a vacant department store in Munich. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4046.en.html
