Synthetic Sentience (37c3)
Despite the rapid progress of AI capabilities, the core question of Artificial Intelligence seems to be still unanswered: What does it take to create a mind? Let us explore the boundaries of AI: sentience, self awareness, and the possibility of machine consciousness. After many attempts to build AI models that are smarter than human beings, we find ourselves confronted with a family of surprisingly successful systems that match many of our abilities through text prediction and text/image correlation. The limits of these approaches are presently unclear, and while they work in very different ways than our minds, they pose the question whether consciousness, embodiment and motivation are necessary for achieving general intelligence. What are the differences between human (and animal) minds and the current generation of AI models? When we compare perspectives on mind and consciousness that have been developed in neuroscience, philosophy of mind, theoretical and therapeutic psychology, and numerous cultural traditions, and translate them into the metaphysics and conceptual frameworks of artificial intelligence, we may gain insights into this question. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2023/hub/event/synthetic_sentience/
Rust Binary Analysis, Feature by Feature (37c3)
I make opensource software (37c3-meta)
A lot of software gets created for or by the government. In the Netherlands this now falls within the scope of freedom of information laws. I use these laws for fun and seriousness. This talk will shortly explain: * what I do * how I do it * what it delivers * where it fails I have been doing freedom of information requests in specific situations for special cases. With more and more computers being used and learning that what is being written about it is not always true I wanted to learn more. This is how the journey went. about this event: https://pretalx.c3voc.de/37c3-lightningtalks/talk/JYEHRG/
Rust Binary Analysis, Feature by Feature (37c3)
A walkthrough of the assembly code idioms the Rust compiler uses to implement the language’s core features (as they appear in Klabnik’s and Nichols’ “The Rust Programming Language”) - starting with simple match expressions and all the way to monomorphized functions and iterator chains. You attempt to analyze a binary file compiled in the Rust programming language. You open the file in your favorite disassembler. Twenty minutes later you wish you had never been born. You’ve trained yourself to think like g++ and msvc: Here’s a loop, there’s a vtable, that’s a global variable, a library function, an exception. Now you need to think like the Rust compiler. Maybe you’ve heard about “sum types” and “generics” and “iterators”, maybe you haven’t, and in both cases you are going to have an exceptionally bad time. This talk will get you familiar with the assembly code idioms the Rust compiler uses to implement the language’s core features (as they appear in Klabnik’s and Nichols’ “The Rust Programming Language”), and more generally, the frame of mind required for reverse-engineering such programs. How is an Option<T> represented using the same amount of memory as a plain T? How do monomorphized generic functions complicate RE work? What's the right approach to untangle many-layered, unintuitive iterator chains? We will tackle these questions and many more. Includes a publicly available lab setup with several sample programs that showcase core Rust features as compiled to assembly. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2023/hub/event/rust_binary_analysis_feature_by_feature/

Having a good time with Python and Pocket Science Lab (37c3-meta)
The Pocket Science Lab project is going back to the roots - the command line. In this lightning talk you will get ideas how powerful open hardware and open source can be as I dive into some quick examples. I will be showing some examples how to use the PSLab with Python and what new possibilities you have with the new version of the hardware that is going out in January. If you are a hardware developer using Microchip you could also be interested in the open source tools we developed in order to avoid the bugful proprietary tools that are provided for flashing the chips. about this event: https://pretalx.c3voc.de/37c3-lightningtalks/talk/ERVUU9/

Air France-KLM 6-char short code (37c3-meta)
Air France-KLM 6-char short code What could go wrong? What did go wrong more... Air France-KLM was vulnerable because they used 6-char short codes in links for text messages. No security question was needed to read detailed trip data, including names, ticket prices, and sometimes passport data and visa data. How large was the breach? What more was 'interesting'? Is it now fixed? List of failures and questions. about this event: https://pretalx.c3voc.de/37c3-lightningtalks/talk/YWW3XY/

Pornography feels better without tech-giants! (37c3-meta)
Pornography feels better without tech-giants! (37c3-meta)
Online pornography is stuck between the overpower of tech-giants and the moral panic of ultra-reactionary groups. **There must be a better way!** Join us and learn how a coalition of digital rights organizations, gender-based violence survivors, sex workers and sex-tech builders joined forces to campaign for better regulation of online pornography under Digital Services Act (DSA). Meanwhile, a litigation in Cyprus and Italy targeted a porn giant for violations of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We will present the achievements of our campaign to reshape the sector of online pornography and why this is so important for a better cyberspace for all. The adult entertainment industry was valued at nearly €45 billion in 2022, while major porn platforms today rank among the most visited websites in the world. This is truly a multi-stakeholder landscape and, through a continuous collective work, we have identified many core issues to be addressed. The fight against gender-based violence, the destigmatization of sex work, the accountability of big tech, the empowerment of CSOs and much more are all crucial aspects of our initiatives. We are confident that with a truly holistic approach we will be able to foster positive change. As we expect substantial transformation of the online porn industry in the near future, this is the right time to push together for inclusivity, decentralization and transparency in this field. Collaboration and community, as opposed to secrecy and competition, are the way to go! about this event: https://pretalx.c3voc.de/37c3-lightningtalks/talk/QPVC7Q/
TeX Time Travel (37c3-meta)
TeX Time Travel (37c3-meta)
I tracked down a four decade old TeX file Knuth used in a lecture from 1981 and restored the printed version. On a whim I tried to find the handout Donald E. Knuth used in an intro course for TeX back in 1981, which I watched on YouTube. After finding a few specific search strings I came across files generated during that course in a big archive of the first Stanford A.I. Laboratory, where I found much more than I had hoped, including all the original TeX files for the course, which can still be processed by TeX today, after some adjustments. about this event: https://pretalx.c3voc.de/37c3-lightningtalks/talk/TBWZZ8/

Hirne hacken: Hackback Edition (37c3)
Du musst mit ein paar Erpressern um mehrere Millionen verhandeln. Das kann sogar Spaß machen, wenn es nicht dein Geld ist. Seit gut sieben Jahren ist Ransomware ein florierendes und stetig wachsendes Geschäftsmodell für durchschnittlich und unterdurchschnittlich begabte Hacker. Wie man sich davor schützen kann, ist kein Geheimnis. Trotzdem tun es offenbar immer noch zu wenige. Weil das ärgerlich ist, erklären wir es noch einmal. Über die Vorgehensweisen der Gangs ranken sich allerlei Mythen, die verhindern, dass Organisationen sich sinnvoll schützen. Wir berichten aus unserer Erfahrung mit unzähligen Fällen, welche Schutzmaßnahmen wirklich sinnvoll sind. Doch auch über die Verhandlungen mit den Gangstern gibt es allerlei falsche Vorstellungen, angeheizt von selbsternannten "Cyber-Profilern" und "Lösungsgeld-Verhandlern", die natürlich kein Interesse haben, ihre „Tricks" zu verraten. Deswegen machen wir das: Wir ergründen die spieltheoretische Mechanik der Verhandlungssituation an mehreren echten Beispielen und schauen uns die Organisation der Ransomware-Gangs an. Kai Biermann ist Investigativ-Journalist und hat unter anderem Mitglieder der Ransomware-Gang Conti aufgedeckt. Linus Neumann hat als IT-Security-Consultant viele Incidents gemanaget und dabei das zweifelhafte Vergnügen gehabt, mit unterschiedlichen Ransomware-Gangs zu verhandeln. Der Vortrag ist eine Weiterführung von „Hirne Hacken" (36C3) und „Disclosure, Hack und Back" (Chaos Communication Camp '23). about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2023/hub/event/hirne_hacken_hackback_edition/
Weil „be excellent to each other” nicht reicht (37c3)
„Be excellent to each other“ steht seit Jahrzehnten für das Selbstverständnis der Chaos-Community, was rücksichtsvolles Miteinander angeht. Dennoch gibt es regelmäßig Fälle, in denen das Verhalten einzelner Personen ganz und gar nicht *excellent* ist. Ziel dieses Vortrags ist, die zum Umgang mit solchen Fällen im CCC vorhandenen Strukturen greifbar zu machen und die verschiedenen Perspektiven auf ihre Arbeitsweise miteinander abzugleichen. Eine Q&A-Session und ein Workshop im Anschluss an den Vortrag bieten Möglichkeiten für Feedback. „Be excellent to each other“ steht seit Jahrzehnten für das Selbstverständnis der Chaos-Community, was rücksichtsvolles Miteinander angeht. Dennoch gibt es regelmäßig Fälle, in denen das Verhalten einzelner Personen ganz und gar nicht *excellent* ist. Dies kann sich beispielsweise in diskriminierendem oder belästigendem Verhalten äußern und umfasst auch schwerwiegende Konflikte, die die Sicherheit oder Freiheit Einzelner bedrohen können. Zum Umgang mit derartigen Situationen auf Camp und Congress gibt es Strukturen wie das Awareness-Team, die Schiedsstelle und weitere auf help.ccc.de genannte Anlaufstellen. In diesem Vortrag möchten wir – Mitglieder der Schiedsstelle, des Awareness-Teams und des Vorstands – einen Blick hinter die Kulissen von Awareness-Team und Schiedsstelle bieten und Impulse zur Weiterentwicklung der Schiedsstelle sammeln. Das heißt zunächst: Wie arbeiten Awareness-Team und Schiedsstelle, wie hängen sie zusammen und mit welcher Art von Fällen beschäftigen sie sich in der Praxis? Dabei werden wir auch Beispiele betrachten, bei deren Behandlung wir derzeit Schwierigkeiten oder Grenzen ebendieser Strukturen sehen. Aufbauend darauf möchten wir in einer Q&A-Session und einem an den Vortrag anschließenden Workshop Feedback zum Umgang mit den genannten Beispielfällen und zu den Strukturen allgemein einholen. Unser Ziel ist, die Arbeit und Arbeitsweise von Schiedsstelle und Awareness-Team greifbar zu machen und unsere eigene Perspektive als Teil dieser Strukturen mit der Perspektive aus der Community abzugleichen. Wir haben vor, mit den dabei gewonnenen Erkenntnissen die bestehenden Strukturen weiterzuentwickeln. Dazu gehört auch, Unklarheiten im Umgang der Community mit den Strukturen sowie Lücken im Umgang mit einzelnen Fällen zu identifizieren und zu reduzieren. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2023/hub/event/weil_be_excellent_to_each_other_nicht_reicht/

AlphaFold – how machine learning changed structural biology forever (or not?) (37c3)
In 2020, the scientific community was shaken when the results of a special contest for protein prediction, known as the Critical Assessment of Protein Structure Prediction (CASP), were revealed. A relatively new competitor emerged as the champion, surpassing all other teams that had been participating in the game for decades. This new competitor was Google and their predictor was a neuronal network called "AlphaFold". Their new approach caused significant waves in the field of structural biology, even capturing the attention of the mainstream media. Several news channels featured reports on AlphaFold, with one German magazine, "Der Spiegel," declaring that "The year 2020 will be known [...] as the year when machines began to outstrip us in research." Join me as we explore the background behind this transformative development and assess the magnitude of machine learning's impact on science, with a particular focus on structural biology. In 2021, Google published the methodology and source code for AlphaFold and within days, scientists adapted the code to allow virtually everyone to predict their own protein structures without prior knowledge. Now, two years after its public release, AlphaFold has established itself as an essential tool in structural biology. Yet, with time, we've also gained a deeper insight into its limitations. In this talk, I would like to delve into AlphaFold and similar machine learning techniques and explore their impact on science and structural biology. To truly appreciate their significance, we will first need to understand the role of protein structures and how they shape our daily lives. Additionally, we’ll have to examine how protein structures were traditionally solved prior to the advent of AlphaFold. We’ll then touch upon the concepts of protein evolution to better understand the biological basis behind this breakthrough, before we’ll look at the intricacies of the neural network itself and discuss the training data necessary to achieve its remarkable capabilities. Drawing from my experience as a practicing structural biologist, I will illustrate these points with real-life examples, showcasing instances where AlphaFold has succeeded and where it has encountered challenges. Lastly, we will peer into the future and speculate on the potential trajectory of this scientific journey and its potential to transform science and our approaches towards it. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2023/hub/event/alphafold_how_machine_learning_changed_structural_biology_forever_or_not/
Nintendo hacking 2023: 2008 (37c3)
Over the years, many talks about console jailbreaks have been presented at CCC. However, one console has been left overlooked: the Nintendo DSi. It didn't see any serious hacks in its active lifetime, the ones that eventually appeared aren't completely satisfactory, and several components (such as its boot ROMs) were left untouched. In this presentation, we rectify the situation, explain how to extract the boot ROMs, and demonstrate new jailbreaks that can take over the console at an even deeper level. As a bonus, this work makes it possible to revive consoles with worn-out eMMC NAND chips. This presentation will start with an introduction to the hardware of the Nintendo DSi and the history of earlier hacking attempts. This is followed by an explanation on how to extract, analyze, and exploit the boot ROMs of the console, leading to a complete defeat of the security of the system. This presentation will not shy away from technical explanations involving software exploitation, fault injection, cryptography, and hardware design. We will however try to make it understandable and enjoyable to less technically-inclined audiences. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2023/hub/event/nintendo_hacking_2023_2008/

Der sehende Stein der Polizeibehörden (37c3)
Der Markt von Palantir ist der öffentliche Sektor, längst in Europa und auch in Deutschland. Der umstrittene US-Softwareanbieter verarbeitet strukturierte und unstrukturierte Informationen aus Polizeidaten oder Patientendaten und versucht, sich unverzichtbar zu machen für die Behörden, mit denen er Verträge hat. In Deutschland steht Palantir allerdings eine Entscheidung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts im Weg, das erstmals über den Einsatz von heute gern als KI gehypter Software für Polizeidaten entschieden hat. Der Vortrag behandelt vier Schwerpunkte: 1.: In welchen Bundesländern und zu welchem Zweck wird die Palantir-Software Gotham eingesetzt oder soll in Zukunft eingesetzt werden? 2.: Wie funktioniert die Software und welche Risiken bringt ihr Einsatz mit sich? 3.: Welche rechtlichen Einschränkungen gelten und wie könnten sie technisch umgesetzt werden? 4.: Hessen hat sein Gesetz aufgrund der Entscheidung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts angepasst. Stellt die Neuregelung für die Gotham-Software unter dem Namen „Hessendata“ wirklich eine Verbesserung dar? Über mit dem Einsatz der Software verbundene Risiken – darunter Diskriminierung, Stigmatisierung, Datenschutz, IT-Sicherheit, Kontrollierbarkeit – sprechen Constanze Kurz (CCC), Simone Ruf und Jürgen Bering (beide Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte, GFF). Beide Organisationen waren am Verfahren vor dem BVerfG beteiligt: Die GFF hatte das Verfahren initiiert und der CCC wirkte als Sachverständiger mit. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2023/hub/event/der_sehende_stein_der_polizeibehorden/
Tractors, Rockets and the Internet in Belarus (37c3)
Hurra, diese Welt geht unter!? (37c3)
Es war einmal ein Planet voller Affen, die sich Geschichten über sich, das Universum, die Technik und den ganzen Rest erzählten. Sie erzählten sich vor allem Storys vom unendlichen Wachstum und von der technologischen Überwindung der Sterblichkeit. Spätestens im Jahr 2023 passten diese sehr mächtigen Erzählungen nicht mehr. Die Ökosysteme brachen zusammen, planetare Grenzen und Artensterben wurden unignorierbar und so standen nicht nur das Klima, sondern auch die alten Narrative an einen Kipppunkt… Welche Geschichte(n) von individueller und kollektiver Sterblichkeit müssen wir uns heute erzählen, um handlungsfähige Mehrheiten für eine nachhaltige, egalitäre und emanzipative digitale Zukunft zu mobilisieren? Im Talk zeigen wir den engen Zusammenhang von (Un-)Sterblichkeits-Erzählungen, menschlichem Selbstbild und Zukunftsvorstellungen – vor allem aber deren Wirkmacht auf unsre Handlungsfähigkeit. Dazu laden wir zwei Gäste ein, uns ihre Narrative zu zeigen: ein\*e Aktivisti der Letzten Generation und Daniel Domscheit-Berg, der über Solarpunk sprechen wird. Anschließend basteln wir es zusammen: zwischen „I want you to panic” und „DON’T PANIC!” – welche Narrative brauchen wir jetzt und hier, um uns zwischen Trauer um diese Welt und der Lust am (Über)leben zu organisieren? Die sich beschleunigt entfaltende Klimakatastrophe stellt die vordringlichste kollektive Herausforderung der Menschheit dar. Sie ist riesig, unübersehbar, wirkt irgendwie langsam im Gegensatz zu akuten Krisen wie Krieg oder Pandemien. Sie lädt deshalb ein zur destruktiven Prokrastination. Paralysiert verharrt ein Großteil von uns in Ignoranz oder überwältigender Ohnmacht. Warum das denn? Das Wissen um die Notwendigkeit des Handelns und die zu treffenden Maßnahmen ist da. Was für die Umsetzung ins konsequente Handeln fehlt – das ist die These des Talks – sind überzeugende kollektive Narrative. Gesucht wird eine Erzählung der Endlichkeit, die zur Gestaltung einer transformierten nachhaltigen und egalitären Zukunft motiviert. Dass es dringend sinnstiftende, universalistische Erzählungen braucht, zeigen auch der Trend von Verschwörungsmythen, die wachsende Prepper-Szene, das Comeback religiöser Heilsversprechungen und Fantasien, den individuellen oder kollektiven Tod mittels Technologisierung (#mindupload, #Dadbot, #Transhumanismus, #SpaceX) ganz abzuschaffen. Aktuelle zivilgesellschaftliche Bewegungen zur Verhinderung der Klimakatastrophe verbreiten mit ihren Aktivitäten unterschiedliche Erzählungen, die zum Teil medial gegeneinander ausgespielt werden. Der Talk gibt einen Rahmen, in dem die verbindenden Elemente sichtbar werden. Wir laden zwei Aktivist:innen unterschiedlicher Bewegungen (Letzte Generation und „Solarpunk") ein, ihr Engagement im Kontext dieser erzählerischen Komponenten vorzustellen: Welches menschliche Selbstbild, welcher Technikbegriff, welcher Körperbegriff steckt darin und wie wird mit Endlichkeit, Verletzlichkeit und Transformation umgegangen? Wie wird bei Aktionen die eigene Körperlichkeit eingesetzt? Was ist die Rolle von Technologien, z.B. KI, in dieser Erzählung? Der Talk versteht sich als Teil der Weiterentwicklung von unterschiedlichen aktivistischen Ansätzen – divers wie die Ökosysteme selbst – und deren Verbindung zu einer gesellschaftlich wirkmächtigen Bewegung im Kampf gegen die Klimakrise. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2023/hub/event/hurra_diese_welt_geht_unter/

Tractors, Rockets and the Internet in Belarus (37c3)
With dropping costs of surveillance smaller authoritarian regimes are gaining easier access to different "out of the box" security solutions used mainly to further oppress people. On example of Belarus we will see the future that awaits people in many different parts of the world if things don't change fast. Republic of Belarus is ruled for last 29 years by authoritarian president Alexander Lukashenko. From the deputy chief of collective farm in USSR to the longest president in Europe, he continues to navigate complicated political scene between Russia/EU/US for his own advantage. Not even close to any technological sector through help of many Lukashenko turned Belarus into IT country with a lot western countries using developers from the dictatorship for their own project. This presentation is about how the soviet modelled dictatorship managed to transform into technological authoritarian regime, where people are monitored and controlled of their loyalty to the regime, while also continuing a massive wave of repressions started from uprising against Alexander Lukashenko in 2020. The presentation is made by a member of ABC-Belarus - a political solidarity organization from Belarus, working on supporting prisoners and developing security culture among street activists. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2023/hub/event/tractors_rockets_and_the_internet_in_belarus/
