Pornography is an abstract phenomenon. It cannot exist without a medium to propagate it, and it has very little (if anything at all) to do with sex. The relationship between pornography, which is entirely fictional and sex, which is very real, very sweaty and mostly not a very aesthetic thing is something like the correlation of science-fiction literature and technological innovation: sometimes th...

The Nintendo DS is a mobile gaming console. It was first introduced in 2004. Our talk will give a short introduction of the hardware and available games. The main focus however lies on homebrew software, DSLinux, alternative firmware, copy protection, flash cards and online gaming protocols. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1552.en.html

This presentation will introduce and demonstrate OpenPCD and OpenPICC. The purpose of those projects is to develop free hardware designs and software for 13.56MHz RFID reader and transponder simulator. OpenPICC can be used to e.g. simulate ISO 14443 or ISO 15693 transponders, such as those being used in biometric passports and FIFA worldcup tickets. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/...

We will discuss fuzzing uses by software vendors and in the corporate world, for security auditing ("fuzzing before release") and third party testing ("fuzzing before purchase"). We will look at what contributed to this change in the use of fuzzing tools from home-grown hacking tools to commercial products, as well as how these organizations implement fuzzing into their development cycle. about th...

European digital television standards (both free-to-air broadcast and pay TV) developed by the DVB project are exemplary for including no digital rights management. But now DVB is rushing to change that and impose new restrictions on receiving equipment. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1699.en.html

Smart phones are the new favorite target of many attackers. Also most current attacks are harmless, since these mostly rely on user mistake or lack of better knowledge. Current attacks are mostly based on logic errors rather then code inject and often are only found by accident. The talk will show some real attacks against smart phones and the kind of vulnerability analysis which lead to their dis...

Wer online lebt und arbeitet, tut dies unter den Augen der Strafverfolger. Der Vortrag schildert, wie Durchsuchungen, Vernehmungen und Ermittlungsverfahren ablaufen. Er erklärt, wie man sich gegenüber Polizei und Staatsanwaltschaft richtig verhält. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1346.en.html

Capturing network packets is a valuable technique for troubleshooting network problems. Capturing at network speeds less, or up to one gigabit per second is feasible with a fast general purpose computer hardware. But that hardware is to slow for Ten gigabit per second ethernet (10GE). Hence, special hardware is required. This topic describes the modification of a commercially available 10GE networ...

The introduction of radio in the USA and Germany is compared, the role amateurs played and how the respective authorities reacted to them. Questions arise as to how those reactions were models for the treatment of younger communications technologies, and the different approaches to uncontrolled communication will be sketched out. Is "everybody can listen in" a scary thing? about this event: http:/...

We give a thorough exposition of our natural language database interface that produces result sets ranked according to the degree to which database records fulfill our intuitions about vague expressions in natural language such as `a small rainy city near San Francisco'. We present our toolset supporting the rapid prototyping of such database interfaces by means of a meta-level description of a da...

Hacking Bluetooth revisited - This talks goes into the depth of Bluetooth security, we'll show attacks on every possible bluetooth layer including Application Layer, lower layers. We'll break the drivers, the implementation, the applications and the _protocol itself_. At the end of this talk we hope we have achieved a Prardigm shift with regards on how you perceive Bluetooth Security in General. I...

This talk will cover two rootkits used as reverse engineering tools, one rootkit support library, one IDA plugin, and talk setup material. The talk itself will be given over VOIP and VNC running over the Tor network to demonstrate a proof of concept on anonymous public speech. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1688.en.html

In this talk, we will introduce the audience to the concepts involved in static analysis, and different implementations of those concepts with advantages and disadvantages of each. We will show how the open source tool bugreport (http://bugreport.sf.net) implements these concepts and will demonstrate the tool finding exploitable bugs in real-world binaries. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/c...

This talk analyzes large-scale, countrywide Internet content filtering from a technical point of view and investigates the current situation in the People’s Republic of China.

As DVB-T is the key technology for terrestrial broadcasting for the next decades, this lecture tries to explain how it works: It covers the way of raw pixel data over MPEG2 video and audio encoding and via multiplexing of several streams and programs to the actual generation of the COFDM signal used for transmission. As the team has built a DVB-T transmitter, we will give a in-depth insight in how...
