Security Nightmares - der jährliche Rückblick auf die IT-Sicherheit und der Security-Glaskugelblick für's nächste Jahr. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1682.en.html

Als Orkut aufkam, gab es zwei Sorten Menschen: die einen wetteiferten um die meisten Invitations, die anderen schüttelten den Kopf ob der Bereitwilligkeit, eine Datenkrake zu füttern. Heute manifestiert sich das Phänomen als flickr, del.icio.us, upcoming.org und blog - kurz gesagt "soziale Web 2.0 Anwendungen". Wieso lassen wir uns alle so bereitwillig taggen, kommentieren und outen? about this ev...

Kritische Theorie, wie sie sich vor allem an Adorno festmachen lässt, und Diskordianismus, der als Philosophie des Chaos zum Namensgeber des veranstaltenden Vereins wurde, gehören zu den am weistesten verbreiteten Elementen des 'social hacking'. Jedoch ist gerade in den letzten Jahren des Adbusting und des Hacktivism unübersehbar geworden, daß von beiden Denktraditionen in der Hauptsache stark ver...

In this presentation I'll present a series of unusual security bugs. Things that I've ran into at some point and went "There's gotta be some security consequence here". None of these are really a secret, and most of them are even documented somewhere. But apparently most people don't seem to know about them. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1456.en.html

It is possible and desirable and fun to invent and create technologies that help our world. Have you ever wanted to shut off a TV that was annoying you in a public place? My extraordinarily popular invention, TV-B-Gone has made it fun to turn off TVs in restaurants, pubs, airports... about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1708.en.html

Discordianism is somewhere between a joke and a religion, and at the same time manages to be something else entirely: social bricolage. This presentation will cover the roots of culture jamming in early art and theatrical movements, and then move through the history of prankster groups and on to Discordianism where the pranksters are prophets. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/F...

Xen bietet aufregende neue Sicherheitsfunktionen: Mandatory Access Control und virtuelle TPMs. Der Vortrag stellt diese Funktionen vor, berichtet von ersten Erfahrungen und zeigt ihre Grenzen auf. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1493.en.html

Botnets are one of the most buzzy buzzwords out there today in the computer security world. The presented approach allows us to take reliably care of these, such that managers hopefully will not react on ``botnet'' in 2008 any more. This technology allows for automated catching of malware with the now somewhat known nepenthes daemon, automated analysis with CWSandbox and other sandboxes, automated...

Throughout the world, major media companies are cutting their budgets for investigative reporting. Most journalists will soon be freelancers, losing their freedom to investigate the more controversial or difficult topics. Yet at the same time, podcasting as a form of citizen journalism has risen, free of the constraints of organizations and editors. But without the funding that the tradional media...

An Introduction into the structure and design of the congress network - featuring a description of hardware setup and focusing on the Backbone Network infrastructure and Wireless LAN. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1728.en.html

Der Vortrag gibt einen Überblick über den rechtlichen Rahmen des WLAN-Surfens im Zivil- und Strafrecht mit aktueller Rechtsprechungsübersicht. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1416.en.html

Funkfeuer (0xFF), als freie Netzwerkinitiative in Wien eine Schwester von Freifunk, begann vor 2 Jahren damit ein "Community Serverhousing" aufzubauen. Wie beim Aufstellen von WLan Router, stoesst man dabei auf logistische, technische und soziale Aufgaben, die es zu loesen gilt um erfolgreich kostendeckend in Betrieb gehen zu koennen. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/e...

In dem Vortrag sollen die Ergebnisse einer kulturwissenschaftlichen Forschungsarbeit vorgestellt und diskutiert werden. Dabei wird der Begriff Nerd eher als Konstrukt, und weniger als gegeben betrachtet. Vorgestellt werden vor allem die Ergebnisse aus Interviews, teilnehmender Beobachtung und einer qualitativen Umfrage. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1616.en.h...

A detailed introduction to Cross Site Request Forgery. This talk presents the fundamental cause of this vulnerability class and examples of potential attack consequences. The second half of the talk is devoted to avoiding and countering CSRF: Implementing CSRF proof session handling, transparent retrofitting of legacy applications and methods for client side protection. about this event: http://ev...

A talk medley from monochrom, a worldwide operating collective from Vienna dealing with technology, art, context hacking, and philosophy which was founded in 1993. They specialize in an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, and political activism. Their mission is conducted everywhere, but first and foremost "in culture-archaeological digs into the s...

Definition: Lightning Talks is a daily event. which consists in one hour of several short talks. Each talk is limited to five minutes. Goal: There is one slot for Lightning Talks each day of the congress. The goal is to present 10 talks within each slot. So this might be up to 40 interesting talks in total. See the Wiki page for current info. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fa...

AOL recently published over 34M weakly anonymized search queries from their users by intension. This lecture gives an overview on the results of an extensive statistical analysis and data mining procedure on this dataset. Thereby, a methodology for frequency analysis, search trend mining, topic detection and even user profiling and identification will be presented. about this event: http://events....

This talk will present an overview of traffic analysis techniques, and how they can be used to extract data from 'secure' systems. We will consider both state of the art attacks in the academic literature, but also practical attacks against fielded systems. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1478.en.html

Ajax and the new dynamic extensions leverage new threats that lead to innovative attack scenarios against web applications. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1602.en.html

Arthur Meister erläutert das operative Vorgehen und die speziellen Werkzeuge zur Schlossöffnung, die von der Staatssicherheit der DDR verwendet wurden. Von der opartiven Vorbereitung, über die Erstöffnung bis zur Herstellung von Nachschlüsslen werden speziell von der STASI entwicklete Werkzeuge und deren Einsatz gezeigt. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1759.en....

Ever since Apple announced the x86 version of Mac OS X, people have been obsessed with running the operating system on non-Apple hardware. The media has given this topic more than its fair share of coverage, with nary a week going by without some discussion of the tussle between Apple and system attackers attempting to "crack" Mac OS X. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan...

Most of today's long-range wireless mesh or point-to-point links suffer from a high overhead during channel access, frequent link failtures and the lack of taking a real advantage of the mesh network structure. This leads to a really bad performance for TCP-like traffic compared to UDP traffic over this links. We want to present your two different ideas for optimizing throughput and delay without...

We're surrounded by blackboxes containing digital technology nowadays. There are complex devices like cell phones as well as more simple ones that don't look very digital at all. This lecture shall motivate the listener to take more electronic things apart, examine the mode of operation and modify it. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1622.en.html
