Technology to build low-cost touch-sensitive tables with high precision is publicly available since the beginning of 2006. The talk will give a practical introduction on building hard- and software of these tables using FTIR sensing pioneered by Jeff Han (see links), based on our experiences in making a table at the c-base. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1512....

The presentation will try to present current challenges in detecting advanced forms of stealth malware and explain why current detection approaches, as used in commercial A/V or IDS products, are insufficient. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1381.en.html

Das Phänomen steigender Überwachung und Kontrolle ist vielfach beschrieben und diskutiert wurden. Klagen werden allerorts laut und verklingen meist genauso schnell wieder. Innerhalb des Vortrags soll das Phänomen - jenseits einer bloßen Zustandsbeschreibung - soziologisch-philosophisch betrachtet und auf aktuelle internationale Forschungsergebnisse eingegangen werden. about this event: http://even...

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...

This talk will focus on World of Warcraft, the most popular MMORPG. There will be a brief overview of the game, guilds and guild management, tools and social issues. Other technologies and the possible future of MMORPGs and their impact will be discussed. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1738.en.html

"Next Generation" gaming consoles should not be limited to games, they have powerful hardware which we want to exploit for our needs. The talk gives a hardware overview of each of the 3 consoles, an overview of their security systems, as well as an update on hacking the Xbox 360, which has been on the market for about a year. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/160...

Todays music industry has created a system that is unfair for both the musicians and the music lover. Combined with an agressive prosecution of downloaders, this causes a very strong polarisation between the industry on one hand and music lovers on the other. Nobody wins. We at dying giraffe recordings are trying to break this impasse and create a system where musicans are rewarded for their work...

This paper (and slides) will descibe the inner workings of the the random number generator (/dev/{u}random) of Linux. Additionally some possible security flaws are shown (entropy overestimation, zero'izing the pool, etc.) about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1420.en.html

This talk will go in depth into methods for breaking crypto faster using FPGAs. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1735.en.html

Tools for visualizing the genome can be repurposed to visualize code. Visualized code can be used as a map for fuzzing efforts, change identification, and showing your mom what you do for a living. I'm going to demonstrate a series of tools that brings a new, half-automated, half-visually driven approach to data manipulation and destruction. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fah...

Bereits 1787 formulierte der Theologe Benedikt Stattler in seiner Schrift "Das Geheimniß der Bosheit des Stifters des Illuminatismus in Baiern zur Warnung der Unvorsichtigen hell aufgedeckt von einem seiner alten Kenner und Freunde" Kritik an dem von Adam Weishaupt gegründeten Illuminatenorden. Der CCC hat sich in vielen Aspekten in seiner Eigenschaft als discordische Vereinigung ebenfalls in krit...

It is a buzzword at the moment: biometrics. Everyone is talking about it and consumers are buying laptops with shiny finger print scanners. This talk will take a look at biometrics in science fiction films. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1600.en.html

This talk describes a software system to securely execute predefined commands over an untrusted network, analyzes the potential attack vectors against this system and defines countermeasures to make it impossible for an attacker to use these attack vectors. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1446.en.html

By requesting timestamps from a computer, a remote adversary can find out the precise speed of its system clock. As each clock crystal is slightly different, and varies with temperature, this can act as a fingerprint of the computer and its location. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1513.en.html

The security of backbone devices has been under increasing focus for the past few years, but infrastructure hacking techniques remain in their infancy and are still not even used in most penetration tests. This talk will discuss how to find and exploit vulnerabilities in infrastructure devices and their service dependencies, including vulnerability development as necessary. about this event: http:...

Auch dieses Jahr gab es wieder eine Menge Wirbel um den ePass. Neue Studien wurden durchgeführt, Entscheidungen wurden getroffen und immer mehr Länder haben begonnen, elektronische Reisedokumente einzusetzen. Der Vortrag wird den neuesten Stand der Diskussion aufzeigen. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1655.en.html

In 1996, The Surveillance Camera Players started manifesting their opposition to the culture of surveillance by performing silent, specially adapted plays directly in front of CCTV cameras. 10 years after, their work is more relevant than ever. This talk will take you through artists' strategies to raise the debate on privacy, the society of the spectacle, the aftermath of September 11th, face rec...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are remotely-powered data carriers, that are often touted as a "computer of the future", bringing intelligence to our homes and offices, optimizing our supply chains, and keeping a watchful eye on our pets, livestock, and kids. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1597.en.html

EFF staffers answer your questions about American wiretapping, the latest moves of the *AA, the spread of the DMCA through free trade agreements, what's up at WIPO, and other dispatches from the US and elsewhere. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1710.en.html

Assembly language skills are a bonus, but not strictly required. This lecture will explain how software like OpenSSL and GnuPG do their arithmetic on 1024 bit numbers. This is not about how RSA works, or about how AES works. This is just about how to add and multiply big numbers. I will explain the algorithms, show some code, and give some timings. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2...

What happens when we leave behind cosmetics and start to modify our bodies and minds to enhance who we are and what we can do?
