The actions of a highly-networked group of individuals cannot be explained as the sum of actions of individuals. Let's explore how far we are along with evolving collective consciousnesses and what's on their minds. With the Internet, the individual's ability for inward and especially outward communication is unprecendented in history. Millions of individuals are sharing thoughts and observations...

Der Vortrag beschäftigt sich mit der Frage der technischen und gesellschaftlichen Implikationen von Identifizierungstechniken, die Prozesse der In- und Exklusion von Menschen in Nationen zu automatisieren suchen. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan/events/3590.en.html

Im Rahmen der Demonstration gegen Überwachungswahn, Vorratsdatenspeicherung und die Einschränkung bürgerlicher Freiheitsrechte am 12. September 2009 kam es in den frühen Abendstunden zu gewalttätigen Ausschreitungen von Polizisten gegen Demonstrationsteilnehmer. Den proaktiv gewalttättig agierenden Beamten war dabei offenbar nicht bewußt, daß sie sich den falschen Ort ausgesucht hatten: In unmitte...

Auch aus dem Jahr 2009 gibt es wieder über ein wahres Mammutprogramm zu berichten. Wir werden – in aller gebotenen Kürze – erzählen, was für Aktivitäten wir entfaltet haben. Wir rechnen ab. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan/events/3690.en.html

Architecture and urban planning play a huge role in our lives, to a degree not always obvious. The city, however, can be seen as just another system—like any other, it can be hacked, illuminating and subverting existing power structures and creating spaces that allow us to be more human and to live richer lives. In this talk, we'll see a bunch of the challenges of the modern city and look at...

This will be a stream of the Fnord-Jahresrückblick 2009, as it will be too crowded in Saal 1. We try to get a translation, but there is no guarantee yet, so a German version might be possible, too. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan/events/3723.en.html

Augmented Reality oder Erweiterte Realität (ER) beschreibt die Synthese von detailreichen realen Bilddaten mit virtuellen Routeninformationen. Der Vorteil besteht in der klaren und unmissverständlichen Darstellung der Anweisungen, so dass ER besonders für Fußgänger geeignet ist. Um die Darstellung von Kamerabildern und Virtuellem Modell nahezu deckungsgleich zu überlagern, werden verschiedene Sens...

In this talk I will survey some of the results (with Adam Young) on Cryptovirology (the art of employing public key cryptography maliciously as part of a malware attack, such as in ransomware) and the related Kleptography (the art of embedding cryptographic Trojans inside tamper-proof cryptosystems). about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan/events/3702.en.html

After dedected.org was published on 25C3, lots has changed in DECT security. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan/events/3648.en.html

With the recent availability of more Free Software for GSM protocols such as OpenBSC, GSM protocol hacking is no longer off-limits. Everyone can play with the lower levels of GSM communications. It's time to bring the decades of TCP/IP security research into the GSM world, sending packets incompatible with the state machine, sending wrong length fields and actually go all the way to fuzz the vario...

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/2009/Fahrplan/events/3644.en.html

What does it mean to fight a culture war? How does culture propagate through a population? What is a meme? And why are some cultural memes more virulent than others? As the capitalist corporate monoculture further asserts its global hegemony, it is vital that individuals become more skillful in their resistance to it. In a hyper-connected world, the most powerful vector of resistance is that of me...

For a long time we warned of the perils of full scale, permanent tracking of persons by the state or corporations. Cell phones, data retention laws and other surveillance techniques close the freedoms of the net. But none can be as pervasive as the permanent location updates sent to Apple and Google via your Smartphone and laptop. With a precision of 10 m to 20 m, BSSID based location tracking has...

Event schedulers, well-known from groupware and social software, typically share the problem that they disclose detailed availability patterns of their users. This talk distinguishes event scheduling from electronic voting and proposes a privacy-enhanced event scheduling scheme. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan/events/3577.en.html

Die Diskussion um Netzneutralität steht auch in Europa auf der politischen Agenda. Doch was ist Netzneutralität wirklich? Wofür wird sie gebraucht, wer darf darüber entscheiden? Der Vortrag soll einen Überblick über Problemlage, Player und praktische Politik geben. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan/events/3509.en.html

This talk will show what can be done by taking control of the GSM RF part of a mobile phone, for example performing a DoS attack to the GSM network or using the phone as a sniffing device. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan/events/3608.en.html

Das Anwachsen des Kreationismus und das Vordringen kreationistischer Thesen ist eine traurige Realität dieser Tage. Trotz überwältigender Evidenz beharren Kreationisten auf einem Weltbild und Erklärungszusammenhängen, die nicht in Einklang mit Ergebnissen der naturwissenschaftlichen Forschung und daher der physikalischen Realität zu bringen sind. Diese Haltung ist das Resultat aktiven Leugnens ode...

Authorship recognition based on linguistics (known as Stylometry) has contributed to literary and historical breakthroughs. These successes have led to the use of these techniques in criminal investigations and prosecutions. Stylometry, however, can also be used to infringe upon the privacy of individuals who wish to publish documents anonymously. Our research demonstrates how various types of att...

The talk will discuss a class of in-the-wild malware and exploits, reasons for it's success as well as reasons why protecting against it in common ways is not effective. This will be done by examining the internals of the attacked subject. Following this, the second part of the talk will present an alternative protection mechanism, which the presenter believes prevents large parts of this class of...

Legic Prime is an artifact from the time when proprietary cryptography in RFID was considered secure enough. We will demonstrate a break for basically any aspect of Legic Prime's claimed security features. If you rely on Legic Prime's security for anything, start migrating. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan/events/3709.en.html

While One Laptop per Child is a widely known and much discussed and often heavily critized project little is actually known about the current state of its efforts. So it may come as a surprise to many that almost a million children around the world use their Linux powered XO-1 laptop in school on a daily basis. This talk will shed some light on this and other interesting developments and look at h...

Learn about the art/craft of language creation ("conlanging"), and participate in making up a new language on the spot. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan/events/3520.en.html

A lecture showing the result of one year of intense programming with the AVR microcontroller family, showing language tricks, showcasing devices like the at90usb* and the xmega families, and lots of entertaining war stories and grizzly technical details. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan/events/3672.en.html
