iButtons sind insbesondere wegen ihrer vergleichsweise einfachen und kostengünstigen Ansteuerung weiter verbreitet, als es auf den ersten Blick scheint. Obwohl die Sicherheitsrisiken teilweise mehr als offensichtlich sind, finden sie ihren Einsatz in Anwendungen, die eigentlich einer kryptografisch abgesicherten Lösung bedürfen. Der erste Teil des Vortrags zeigt, welche allgemeinen Sicherheitsprob...

Whistleblowing als universelles Konzept für mehr Transparenz – oder: über die Rückeroberung der Dunkelräume in Wirtschaft und Politik auch jenseits von Wikileaks. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4185.en.html

Smart phones, everybody has a smart phone! No! Just about 16% of all mobile phones are smart phones! Feature phones are the most common type of mobile phone in the world. Some time ago we decided to investigate the security of feature phones. In this talk we show how we analyzed feature phones for SMS security issues. We show our results and the kind of attacks that are possible with our bugs. abo...

Today, hacking is reserved for the microscopic fraction of the population who manage to shake themselves free of the suppressive education regime. Student Robotics is the beginning of the solution. By fostering creativity through competition to solve engineering challenges, we provide the inspiration society desperately needs. We develop an open platform for robotics and provide it to schools to o...

ACTA, upcoming criminal enforcement directive, filtering of content... The entertainment industries go further and further into their crusade against sharing.

Everyone can help defeat the motherf#§$ers! about this event: ht...

There has been many publications on the topic of Stuxnet and its "sophistication" in the mainstream press. However, there is not a complete publication which explains all of the technical vulnerability details and how they were discovered. In this talk, you will get a first-hand account of the entire story. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4245.en.html

There's been a fair bit written and presented about smartphone's, and yet, when it comes to the attack surface of the operating systems running on them, and the applications running on top of those, much still has to be explorer. This talk will dive a bit deeper into that attack surface. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4265.en.html

Bundesdeutscher und kirchlicher Datenschutz führen eine Parallelexistenz. Während das Bundesdatenschutzgesetz von der Öffentlichkeit wahrgenommen und kritisch begleitet wird, ist den Wenigsten überhaupt klar, dass es auch einen vom BDSG losgelösten Datenschutz innerhalb der Kirchen gibt, der sich in einigen wichtigen Punkten vom staatlichen unterscheidet. Dieser Vortrag soll das Bewusstsein für ei...

New protocol features have been proposed and implemented in the last 5 years and ISPs are now slowly starting to deploy IPv6. This talk starts with a brief summary of the issues presented five years ago, and then expands on the new risks. Discovered implemention security issues in Windows 7/2008, Linux and Cisco will be shown too. Comes with a GPL'ed toolkit: thc-ipv6 about this event: http://even...

Out of the news section of the [C3D2](http://www.c3d2.de "CCC Dresden") [radio programme](http://www.pentamedia.org/pentaradio Pentaradio24) we've compiled an entertaining game show, an Internet-based multiplayer "Who becomes millionaire?" challenge. The audience and folks on the peace missions are asked to help the players. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4253...

2011 will again be a crucial year in the battle against data retention and blanket surveillance. The EU Commission is planning to publish its review of the directive in December (right in time before 27C3), and the lobbying and PR battle has already begun. In six months from now, we will see the legislative proposal from the EU commission for the revision of data retention. The talk will give a fu...

Nach Zensursula kam Censilia und das Kindernet: 2010 brachte nach den hitzigen Diskussionen um Internet-Sperren und das Zugangserschwerungsgesetz einige neue Entwicklungen – und die Rundfunkkommission der Länder wollte mal wieder den Jugendschutz im Internet angehen. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4252.en.html

Optimization algorithms present an effective way for removing most obfuscations that are used today. Much of the compiler theory can be applied in removing obfuscations and building fast and reliable deobfuscation systems. By understanding traditional optimization problems and techniques it is possible to develop and customize compiler optimization algorithms for usage in binary deobfuscation/anal...

Neben einer kurzen Einführung in die Problematik des Zensus 2011, soll es in dem Vortrag auch über die CCC Stellungnahmen für mehrere Landetage gehen. Weiterhin geht es auch um die mittlerweile abgewiesene Verfassungsbeschwerde des AK Zensus sowie weitere Möglichkeiten "was zu machen". about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4111.en.html

Dreieinhalb Jahre nach dem Talk '21st Century digital Bikes' auf dem Camp 2007 ist einiges in der Welt der elektrischen Fortbewegung passiert. Ende 2010 ist ein guter Zeitpunkt, den Stand der Dinge aufzurollen, die Neuigkeiten darzustellen und über eine mehr unschärfer als klarer werdende Zukunft der elektrischen Mobilität zu sprechen. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/...

SAP systems are the heart of many enterprises. Most critical business functions run on SAP Applications and the complexity of these systems makes it very difficult to protect against attackers. Default setups, forgotten/unimplemented security configurations, weak password management and change processes that apply to one ‘unimportant’ system can result in complete compromise of the SAP landscape....

In this talk I demonstrate our research and the implementation of methods to detect cryptographic algorithms and their parameters in software. Based on our observations on cryptographic code, I will point out several inherent characteristics to design signature-based and generic identification methods. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4160.en.html

HipHop transforms PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then compiles it using g++. It allows developers to continue writing complex logical directly with PHP but leverages the speed benefits of C++. HipHop is more than just a theoretical exercise and currently powers the majority of Facebook servers. This session will cover using HipHop and some of the code changes required to use it. abo...

You have heard about "MySQL Plugins", but have no idea what that means ? This technology is GA for almost two years, still surprisingly few users know about it, even though it can help to advance their applications in the most drastic way. The talk will look at MySQL plugins from the end user point of view. What are they, what can they do, how can you use them, what plugins are available - these a...

Since its initial release, the Nokia Qt SDK is bringing a state-of-the art developer experience to those who want to develop for the Nokia Symbian and Maemo platforms. Along with its release, Nokia also announced that Qt-based applications are now allowed into Ovi-Store. In this talk we will look at what is possible today by creating a typical mobile application and deploy it to an N900 as well as...

Pursuing my personal quest "1000 projects to send patches to before I die", I also approached the WINE-project. WINE aims to provide a software-layer which runs Windows-binaries directly on a Linux/BSD-system. This means no less than reimplementing the Windows-APIs as free software! Having this goal, WINE development is special for a number of legal, technical and collaborational reasons. In other...
