The idea of a view controlling many by force and ideas that justify their rulership and cruelties is an old one, as is the opposing idea of a free society and humans as equals.\nA central aspect is how people involved see the human nature and according to that what society they want to build. And what role is intended for technology.\nIn the 19th century the beliefs of both the opposing sides dripped into science, as well as individual\u2019s heads, and social movements around the world. While some wanted to form a wold society of equals others wanted to breed a master race that to control everything.\n\nThe love of industrial leaders for authoritarianism has played an important role since the beginning in funding and providing access to powerful networks. Industrialists like Henry Ford loved and promoted ideas at least close to fascism. German, Italian, and Austrian counterparts funded Hitler and Mussolini. And it is not that they did it because they did not understand the fascist leader\u2019s yearning \u2013 it was because they shared and loved their aims and violence.\n\nIn Futurism, one of the often overlooked roots of fascism, and its Manifesto the enemies and societal goals are proclaimed crystal clear: \u201cWe will glorify war \u2014 the only true hygiene of the world \u2014 militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of anarchist, the beautiful Ideas which kill, and the scorn of woman.\u201c\n\nAfter WWII most of the people believing in dominating others by force and eugenics lived on, they and their cronies had slaughtered millions and destroyed whole social movements were opposing them. These people warning us about authoritarian prophets of doom and concentration camps are still missing.\n\nIn the post-war time ideas of authoritarianism met a new player: Cybernetics, the believe in a future, where all problems will be solved through technology and we are \u201cAll Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace\u201d (Richard Brautigam, 1967). The ideas split, merged, and melted into new beliefs and quasi-religions. Into something that is called \u201cCyber-Libertarianism\u201d by David Golumbia or \u201cTESCREAL\u201d by \u00c9mile P. Torres and Timnit Gebru.\n\nThis talk will address an aspect that is often missing in analyses: What kind of breeding ground is it where ideas of fascism hatches best? And how can we stop iFascism instead of participating in it?\n\nFurthermore, as being sorted by machines is not everyone's secret dream, ways to stop iFascism will be provided.\n\nBecause we are more, we care for people in need \u2013 and we are the chaos!\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "fef3cd0a-a955-5aeb-b604-ed774edc70c9", "name": "Katika K\u00fchnreich", "public_name": "Katika K\u00fchnreich", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/V7FXYT_jdOaj1a.JPG", "biography": "Katika K\u00fchnreich is a political scientist and sinologist with a focus on philosophy.

The reverse engineering effort led to the discovery of the peripheral architecture, it\u2019s memory regions, interrupts and a little bit of information about other related peripherals.\n\nBy publishing open tooling, SVD files and other documentation, this work aims to empower researchers, hackers, and developers to build custom Bluetooth stacks, audit existing ones, and repurpose the ESP32 for novel applications.

Once discovered, the software bug was used as an entry to explore the target, which in turn lead to uncovering (and exploiting) more and more bugs, ending up in EL3 of the most secure core on the chip.\r\nThis talk is about the story of trying to glitch the AMD Platform Security Processor, then accidentally discovering several bugs and getting a good look inside the target, before returning to trying to hammer it with novel physical strategies.", "description": "# BACKSTORY\n---------------\nSo here is the backstory of how it all started:\n- I bought a commercial gaming console\n- Then bought a VR headset (for this console) because of exclusive game\n- But also wanted to play beatsaber\n- I could, but builtin song selection was very limited\n- Custom songs exist (for example on steam), but not for this console\n- I didn't want to buy a second headset for steam\n That's when i decided i want to hack this console so that i can port community created customs songs to the console and play them there with the VR headset i already have.\n\nInitially starting with an approach similar to the usual \"entrypoint through browser\", then go for kernel and call it a day, but quickly annoying hurdles blocked my way. For one, the Hypervisor makes your live just miserable with it's execute only kernel text blind exploitation. Other issues were that one needs to be on latest version to download the game, which exists only as digital purchase title, preventing me to share my efforts with others even if i can get it working on my console.\nThough, what finally put the nail in the coffin was when porting a kernel zeroday to the console failed because of heavy sandboxing, unreachable syscalls or even entirely stripped kernel functions. \nSome may call it \"skill issue\". Anyways, that's when i was full of it and decided to bring this thing down for good. \nEverybody does glitching nowadays and according to rumors people did have success on this thing with glitching before, so how hard can it really be, right?\n\nSo the question became: Is it possible to build a modchip, which glitches the board and lets me play beatsaber custom songs? \nStuff like that has been done on other consoles before (minus the beatsaber part :P)\n\nTurns out that when manufacturing produces chips with broken GPUs, they are sold as spinoff desktop mainboards (with disabled GPU) rather than thrown away. Which is great, because those mainboards are much cheaper, especially if you buy broken spinoff mainboards on ebay.\n\nSo on the journey to beatsaber custom songs, breaking this desktop mainboard became a huge chunk of the road. Because if i can glitch this and build a modchip for it, surely i can also do it for the console, right? I mean it's the exact same SoC afterall! \nBack when i started i didn't know i would be about to open pAMDoras box and discover so many bugs and hacks.\n\n# Actual talk description\n---------------\n**Disclaimer: This is not a console hacking talk!** \nThis talk is gonna be about breaking nearly every aspect of the AMD Platform Security Processor of the desktop mainboard with the same SoC as the console. While certainly usefuly for _several_ other AMD targets, unfortunately not every finding can directly be ported to the console. Still, it remains very useful nonetheless!\n\nNote: The final goal of custom songs on beatsaber has not been reached yet, this talk is presenting the current state of things.\n\nIn this talk you'll be taken on a ride on how everything started and how almost every aspect of the chip was broken. How bugs were discovered, what strategies were used to move along. \nNot only will several novel techniques be presented for applying existing physical attacks to targets where those couldn't really be applied before, but also completely new approaches are shared which bring a whole different perspective on glitching despite having lots of capacitors (which we don't really want to remove) and extremely powerfull mosfets (which smooth out crowbar attempts in a blink of an eye).\n\nBut that's not all! \nWhile trying to perform physical attacks on the hardware, the software would just start falling apart by itself. Which means, at least **6 unpatchable\\* bugs** were discovered, which are gonna be presented in the talk alongside with **5 zero-day exploits**. Getting EL3 code execution on the most secure core inside AMDs SoC? No Problem! \nApart from just bugs and exploits, many useful techniques and discovery strategies are shared which will provide an excellent knowedgle base and attack inspiration for following along or going for other targets.\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "468f9f63-fce4-5681-a397-1626c64d3177", "name": "tihmstar", "public_name": "tihmstar", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/U3ZG33_uLN9eJO.webp", "biography": "Finding offsets since 2017\n", "url": "https://events.ccc.de/congress/2025/hub/user/speaker_468f9f63-fce4-5681-a397-1626c64d3177" } ], "url": "https://events.ccc.de/congress/2025/hub/event/detail/opening-pamdora-s-box-and-unleashing-a-thousand-paths-on-the-journey-to-play-beatsaber-custom-songs", "links": [], "origin_url": "https://cfp.cccv.de/39c3/talk/AYYYH9/", "attachments": [ { "url": "/media/39c3/submissions/AYYYH9/resources/Opening_pAMDoras_Box_small_co_j9ooQ73.pdf", "type": "related", "title": "slides" } ], "feedback_url": "https://cfp.cccv.de/39c3/talk/AYYYH9/feedback/", "do_not_record": false, "do_not_stream": null }, { "guid": "d54d27a0-6a49-5cf8-bac1-ac0ad46ad874", "code": "JZ9A3E", "id": 1254, "date": "2025-12-27T16:00:00+01:00", "start": "16:00", "duration": "01:00", "room": "Saal One", "slug": "39c3-all-my-deutschlandtickets-gone-fraud-at-an-industrial-scale", "title": "All my Deutschlandtickets gone: Fraud at an industrial scale", "subtitle": null, "language": "en", "track": "Security", "type": "Talk", "abstract": "The Deutschlandticket was the flagship transport policy of the last government, rolled out in an impressive timescale for a political project; but this speed came with a cost - a system ripe for fraud at an industrial scale.\r\n\r\nGerman public transport is famously decentralised, with thousands of individual companies involved in ticketing and operations. Unifying all of these under one national, secure, system has proven a challenge too far for politicians. The end result: losses in the hundreds of millions of Euros, compensated to the transport companies from state and federal budgets to keep the system afloat, and nobody willing to take responsibility.\r\n\r\nThis talk will cover the political, policy, and technical mistakes that lead to this mess; how we can learn from these mistakes; and what we can do to ensure the Deutschlandticket has a viable future.", "description": "At last years Congress Q presented [a deep-dive into the technical details of train ticketing](https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-what-s-inside-my-train-ticket) and its [Z\u00fcgli](https://z\u00fcgli.app) platform for this; since then, things have gone rather out of hand. The little side-project for looking into the details of train tickets turned into a full-time project for detecting ticketing fraud. This talk details an executive summary of the madness that has been the past year, and how we accidentally ended up in national and international politics working to secure the Deutschlandticket.\n\nShortly after last year's talk, we were contacted about some *interesting* looking tickets someone noticed, issued by the Vetter GmbH Omnibus- und Mietwagenbetrieb - or so they claimed to be. These were normal Deutschlandtickets, but with a few weird mistakes in them. At first, we thought nothing much of it; mistakes happen. But, on further investigation, these turned out to not be legitimate tickets at all, but rather from a fraudulent website by the name of d-ticket.su, using the private signing key obtained under suspicious circumstances. How exactly this key came into the wrong hands remains unclear, but we present the possible explanations for how this could've happened, how many responsible have been thoroughly uncooperative in getting to the bottom of this, and how the supporting systems and processes of the Deutschlandticket were unable to cope with this situation.\n\nParallel to this, another fraud has been draining the transport companies of their much-needed cash: SEPA Direct Debit fraud. Often, a direct debit payment can be setup online with little more than an IBAN and ticking a box; and most providers of the Deutschlandticket offer an option to pay via direct debit. Fraudsters have noticed this, and mass purchase Deutschlandtickets with invalid or stolen IBANs before flipping them for a discounted price on Telegram; made easier because most transport companies issue a ticket immediately, before the direct debit has been fully processed. The supporting systems of the Deutschlandticket in many cases don't even provide for the revocation of such tickets. We will detail the hallmarks of this fraud, how transport companies can work to prevent it, and how we tracked down the fraudsters by their own careless mistakes.\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "7fa522b7-3b42-5b1c-8f62-eb9a7c3c5dab", "name": "Q Misell", "public_name": "Q Misell", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/tram-pfp_gfzXLHS.jpg", "biography": "Q is a researcher at the [Max-Planck Institut f\u00fcr Informatik](https://mpi-inf.mpg.de) in Saarbr\u00fccken, focusing its work on Internet architecture and security.

Sure, they can probably do things like finding out what the person is currently listening to. But what else? During our research we discovered three vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-20700, CVE-2025-20701, CVE-2025-20702) in popular Bluetooth audio chips developed by Airoha. These chips are used by many popular device manufacturers in numerous Bluetooth headphones and earbuds.\r\n\r\nThe identified vulnerabilities may allow a complete device compromise. We demonstrate the immediate impact using a pair of current-generation headphones. We also demonstrate how a compromised Bluetooth peripheral can be abused to attack paired devices, like smartphones, due to their trust relationship with the peripheral.\r\n\r\nThis presentation will give an overview over the vulnerabilities and a demonstration and discussion of their impact. We also generalize these findings and discuss the impact of compromised Bluetooth peripherals in general. At the end, we briefly discuss the difficulties in the disclosure and patching process. Along with the talk, we will release tooling for users to check whether their devices are affected and for other researchers to continue looking into Airoha-based devices.\r\n\r\nExamples of affected vendors and devices are Sony (e.g., WH1000-XM5, WH1000-XM6, WF-1000XM5), Marshall (e.g. Major V, Minor IV), Beyerdynamic (e.g. AMIRON 300), or Jabra (e.g. Elite 8 Active).", "description": "Airoha is a vendor that, amongst other things, builds Bluetooth SoCs and offers reference designs and implementations incorporating these chips. They have become a large supplier in the Bluetooth audio space, especially in the area of True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds. Several reputable headphone and earbud vendors have built products based on Airoha\u2019s SoCs and reference implementations using Airoha\u2019s Software Development Kit (SDK).\n\nDuring our Bluetooth Auracast research we stumbled upon a pair of these headphones. During the process of obtaining the firmware for further research we initially discovered the powerful custom Bluetooth protocol called *RACE*. The protocol provides functionality to take full control of headphones. Data can be written to and read from the device's flash and RAM.\n\nThe goal of this presentation is twofold. Firstly, we want to inform about the vulnerabilities. It is important that headphone users are aware of the issues. In our opinion, some of the device manufacturers have done a bad job of informing their users about the potential threats and the available security updates. We also want to provide the technical details to understand the issues and enable other researchers to continue working with the platform. With the protocol it is possible to read and write firmware. This opens up the possibility to patch and potentially customize the firmware.\n\nSecondly, we want to discuss the general implications of compromising Bluetooth peripherals. As smart phones are becoming increasingly secure, the focus for attackers might shift to other devices in the environment of the smart phone. For example, when the Bluetooth Link Key, that authenticates a Bluetooth connection between the smart phone and the peripheral is stolen, an attacker might be able to impersonate the peripheral and gain its capabilities.\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "ba81933f-41f6-598c-907a-0c5f5ee60e9d", "name": "Dennis Heinze", "public_name": "Dennis Heinze", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/CF83N8_NvVaqfy.webp", "biography": "Dennis Heinze is a Senior Security Researcher and Penetration Tester at ERNW Enno Rey Netzwerke GmbH.

Yet, how fuzzers and programs interact is deeply mythologised and poorly misunderstood, even by seasoned professionals. This talk analyses a number of recent works and case studies that reveal the relationship between fuzzers, their inputs, and programs to explain _how_ fuzzers work.", "description": "Fuzz testing (or, \"fuzzing\") is a testing technique that passes randomly-generated inputs to a subject under test (SUT). This term was first coined in 1988 by Miller to describe sending random byte sequences to Unix utilities (1), but was arguably preceded in 1971 by Breuer for fault detection in sequential circuits (2) and in 1972 by Purdom for parser testing by generating sentences from grammars (3). Curiously, they all exhibit different approaches for generating inputs based on knowledge about the SUT, though none of them use feedback from the SUT to make decisions about new inputs.\n\nFuzzing wasn't yet popular, but industry was catching on. Between the late 90s and 2013, we see a number of strategies appear in industry (4). Some had success with constraint solvers, where they would observe runtime behavior or have knowledge about a target's structure to produce higher quality inputs. Others operated in a different way, by taking an existing input and tweaking it slightly (\"mutating\") to address the low-likelihood of random generation to produce structured inputs. None was as successful, or as popular, as American Fuzzy Lop, or \"AFL\", released in 2013. This combined coverage observations for inputs (Ormandy, 2007) with concepts from evolutionary novelty search (5) into a tool which could, from very few initial inputs, _evolve_ over multiple mutations to find new, untested code.\n\nDespite its power, this advancement made it far more difficult to understand how fuzzers even worked. Now all you had to do was point this tool at a program and it would start testing, and the coverage would go up; users were now only responsible for writing \"harnesses\", code which processed fuzzer-produced inputs and sent them to the SUT. Though there have been a few real advances to fuzzing since (or, at least, strategies which combined previous methods more effectively), fuzzing research has mostly deadended, with new methods squeezing only minor improvements out of older ones. This, and inadequate harness writing, comes from this opaqueness in how fuzzers internally operate: without understanding what these tools do from first principles, there's no clear \"right\" and \"wrong\" way to do things because there is no mental model to test them against.\n\nThis talk doesn't talk about new bugs, new fuzzers, or new harness generation tools. The purpose of this talk is to uncover mechanisms of fuzzer input production in the context of different classes of SUT and harnesses thereon, highlighting recent papers which have clarified our understanding of how fuzzers and SUTs interact. By the end, you will have a better understanding of _why_ modern fuzzers work, _what_ their limitations are, and _how_ you can write better fuzzers and harnesses yourself.\n\n(1): https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~bart/fuzz/CS736-Projects-f1988.pdf\n(2): https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1671733\n(3): https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01932308\n(4): https://afl-1.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about_afl.html\n(5): https://www.academia.edu/download/25396037/0262287196chap43.pdf\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "c31dbc3a-ac58-5b60-bc1a-8384d7cdbb31", "name": "Addison", "public_name": "Addison", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/QKRJXA_BbB5tCV.png", "biography": "Hi!

To effectively and humanely break the cycles of abuse that enables CSA in our communities, we have to think beyond criminalization. This talk will unpack how and why this impasse framing exists, how it constrains us from candidly engaging with the complexity of CSA. Drawing from scientific and clinical research and informed by transformative justice approaches, I detail what CSA is, how and why it happens offline and online, and why the status quo of detection and criminalization does not work.

Because repressive governments generally do not simply publish their censorship rules, the task of determining exactly what is and isn\u2019t allowed falls upon the censorship measurement community, who run experiments over censored networks. In this talk, we\u2019ll discuss two ways censorship measurement has evolved from passive experimentation to active attacks against the Great Firewall.", "description": "While probing the Great Firewall\u2019s DNS injection system in 2021, we noticed something strange: Sometimes the injected responses contained weird garbage. After some investigation, we realized we\u2019d stumbled onto a memory disclosure vulnerability that would give us an unprecedented window into the Great Firewall\u2019s internals: Wallbleed.\n\nSo we crafted probes that could leak up to 125 bytes per response and repeatedly sent them for two years. Five billion responses later, the picture that emerged was... concerning. Over 2 million HTTP cookies leaked. Nearly 27,000 URL parameters with passwords. SMTP commands exposing email addresses. We found traffic from RFC 1918 private addresses - suggesting we were seeing the Great Firewall\u2019s own internal network. We saw x86_64 stack frames with ASLR-enabled pointers. We even sent our own tagged traffic into China and later recovered those exact bytes in Wallbleed responses, proving definitively that real user traffic was being exposed.\n\nIn September 2023, the patching began. We watched in real-time as blocks of IP addresses stopped responding to our probes. But naturally the same developers that made this error in the first place made further mistakes. Within hours, we developed \u201cWallbleed v2\u201d queries that still triggered the leak. The vulnerability persisted for another six months until March 2024.\n\nGFW measurement research went back to business as usual until September of this year when an anonymous source released 600GB of leaked source code, packages, and documentation via Enlace Hacktivista. This data came from Geedge Networks - a company closely connected to the GFW and the related MESA lab. Geedge Networks develops censorship software not only for the GFW but also for other repressive countries such as Pakistan, Myanmar, Kazakhstan, and Ethiopia.\n\nWe will discuss some of our novel findings from the Geedge Networks leak, including new insights about how the leak relates to Wallbleed.\n\nWallbleed and the Geedge Networks leak show that censorship measurement research can be about more than just actively probing censored networks.

Who makes them, and how? Well, there is no easy answer, because the process of drug discovery and development is a very complex, expensive, and challenging journey, riddled with many risks and failures. This holds true for all types of drugs, from a simple pill to an mRNA vaccine or a gene therapy. Today, scientists support this process with a variety of AI applications, cutting-edge technologies, automation, and a huge amount of data. But can the race for new medicines and cures succeed only through more technology, or do we need to rethink the entire process? Let\u2019s take a look at how the drug discovery and development process has worked so far, and how this entire process is changing \u2013 for better or worse.", "description": "After presenting a high-level overview of the path from an idea to the medicine that you can buy at a pharmacy, this talk will present and discuss the following aspects of the drug discovery and development process:\n(1) The translation of an idea into a drug for a human patient faces many critical moments along the development process. This so-called \u201ctranslational gap\u201d is addressed through experiments in a test tube (or Petri dish), experimentation in lab animals, and eventually testing in humans. However, findings in a standard cell line or in a mouse do not necessarily reflect the complexity of biological processes in a human patient. Currently, there are many technological advancements under way to improve the current drug discovery and development process, and possibly even replace animal studies in the future (e.g., organs-on-chip). Nevertheless, the fundamental issues surrounding translational research remain, such as the lack of standardization, the limitations of model systems, and various underlying clinical biases.\n(2) Like in many industries today, AI applications are introduced at multiple levels and for various purposes within the drug discovery and development continuum. Often, a lot of hope is placed in AI-based technologies to accelerate the R&D process, increase efficiency and productivity, and identify new therapeutic approaches. Indeed, there are many highly useful examples, such as the automation of image analysis in research, which replaces repetitive tasks and hence frees up a lot of time for researchers to do meaningful research. However, there are also many applications that are likely misguided, because they still face fundamental problems in evaluating scientific knowledge. For instance, the use of LLMs to summarize huge amounts of very complex and heterogeneous scientific data relies on the accuracy, completeness, and reproducibility of the available scientific data, which is often not the case. In addition, AI is often employed in an IT environment with questionable data security and ownership practices, such as the storage of sensitive research data on third-party cloud platforms.\n(3) Until now, the overwhelming majority of drugs have been developed to treat large patient populations, which represent a considerable market and ultimately ensure a return on investment. Today, however, most common and homogeneous diseases can already be managed, often with several (generic) drugs. Slight improvements to current drugs do not justify a large profit margin anymore, so the focus of drug discovery and development is shifting toward more heterogeneous and rare diseases, for which no or only poor treatments are available. Novel medicines in those disease areas hold the promise of substantial improvement for patients; however, these new patient (sub)populations, and thus markets, are much smaller, leading to premium prices for individualized therapies in order to ensure a return on investment. This paradigm shift toward individualized therapy - referred to as precision and personalized medicine - is supported by the advent of novel technologies and the accumulation of large bodies of data.\n(4) The rise of precision and personalized medicine is challenging the current business model of today\u2019s pharmaceutical industry, suggesting that the era of blockbuster drugs might be over. Moreover, many intellectual property rights for blockbuster drugs are going to expire in the next few years, ending the market dominance of a number of pharma companies and sending the current industry landscape into turmoil. These developments will likely alter the current modus operandi of the entire biopharmaceutical development process, and it is not clear how the next few years will look like.\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "0e228722-2bac-5742-b9d6-efc1f0ecc848", "name": "Dennis \u00d6zcelik", "public_name": "Dennis \u00d6zcelik", "avatar": null, "biography": "Dennis \u00d6zcelik is a trained biochemist who has spent many years in academic and applied research in the areas of (bio)pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences.

In particular, we want to focus on the dynamics of power and how these developments were influenced by their context - from social movements to political pressure.\n\nWe want to start with explaining how the initial developments, both from an artistic - concrete art - and technological - the evolution of computers and the creation of the drawing machine Zuse Z64 in Germany and film techniques in the US, respectively - took place. We will do so in the context of the first three exhibitions that all took place in the year 1965. Their artworks were created by Georg Nees in Stuttgart, A. Michael Noll with B\u00e9la Julesz in New York and Frieder Nake with Georg Nees, again in Stuttgart.\n\nIn the following, we will try to give an outline of further developments. We provide examples how hierachies in art and science have developed and played a role in different events. In the domain of computer-generated art, similar to other art, there are two large influences hidden for the typical recipent of this art - galleries and critics. We will discuss this exemplary with early exhibitions of Frieder Nake being described by the FAZ and later on, how the east-west conflict has influenced the art and its exhibitions. Among other issues, we discuss patriarchal structures, the commercial side of art, how old tech is sold as revolutionary and how progress is still as connected with threatening feelings as in the early years.\n\nLooking back at the beginnings, it is interesting to observe how artists - also with an artistic, rather than technical background - worked with the limitations and overcame them. Fortunately, the technological entry barrier to create algorithmic art yourself has drastically decreased over time and we want to encourage you to experiment yourself!\n\nFrieder Nake is creating algorithmic drawings and doing visual research since 1964.

While it sounds harmless - all the other rights and obligations still appy - it means that companies have no clue anymore what personal data they process, for which purposes, and how.\n\nA much larger revision has been proposed on 19th November 2025, with the \"omnibus\" legislation dubbed \"Digital Simplification Package\".

In photon science, imaging detectors serve as the eyes of science, translating invisible processes into measurable and analysable data. Behind every image lies a deep understanding of how detectors see, respond and perform.\r\n\r\nAt facilities like the European XFEL, the world's most powerful X-ray free-electron laser located in the Hamburg metropolitan area, imaging detectors capture ultrashort X-ray flashes at MHz frame rates and with high dynamic range. Without these advanced detectors, even the brightest X-ray laser beam would remain invisible. They help to reveal what would otherwise stay hidden, such as the structure of biomolecules, the behaviour of novel materials, and matter under extreme conditions. But how do we know they will perform as expected? And how do we design systems capable of \u201cseeing\u201d the invisible?\r\n\r\nI will take a closer look how imaging technology in large-scale facilities is simulated and designed to make the invisible visible. From predicting detector performance to evaluating image quality, we look at how performance simulation helps scientists and engineers understand the \u201ceyes\u201d of modern science.", "description": "X-ray imaging detectors have come a long way in the last 15 years, turning ideas that once seemed impossible into realities. Imaging detectors in photon science are more than just high-speed cameras. They are complex systems operating at the limits of what\u2019s physically measurable. Understanding how they behave before, during, and after experiments is essential to advancing both the technology and the science it enables.\n\nIn this talk, I\u2019ll take you inside the world of detector simulation and performance modelling. I\u2019ll explore how tools like Monte Carlo simulations, sensor response models, and system-level performance evaluations are used to:\n\n- Predict detector behaviour in extreme conditions (such as MHz X-ray bursts), and\n- identify critical performance bottlenecks before production.\n\nBy linking imaging technology with simulation and modelling, we can better interpret experimental data and design the next generation of scientific cameras. Beyond the technical aspects, this talk reflects on the broader theme of how we \u201csee\u201d though technology, what it means to make the invisible visible, and how simulation changes not only how we build instruments, but also how we understand them.\n", "logo": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/39c3/submissions/WULKYL/Markus_Kuster_89CVsdQ_SgYagMH_UXMlkmj.webp", "persons": [ { "guid": "648ad45f-3a14-5034-a890-9a548eb89abf", "name": "MarKuster", "public_name": "MarKuster", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/WNX3BZ_SXCtkf2.jpg", "biography": "I graduated from the University of T\u00fcbingen at the Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics in theoretical and experimental Astrophysics.

We systematically examined privileged operations, capabilities, and interfaces that a jailed process can still reach, hunting for memory safety issues, race conditions, and logic flaws.

A week later, WhatsApp issued a security advisory, revealing the fix for a critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-55177, which was also exploited in-the-wild. Strong evidence indicated that these two vulnerabilities were chained together, enabling attackers to deliver a malicious exploit via WhatsApp to steal data from a user's Apple device, all without any user interaction.\n\nTo deconstruct this critical and stealthy in-the-wild 0-click exploit chain, we will detail our findings in several parts:\n1. WhatsApp 0-Click Attack Vector (CVE-2025-55177). We will describe the 0-click attack surface we identified within WhatsApp. We will detail the flaws in WhatsApp's message handling logic for \"linked devices,\" which stemmed from insufficient validation, and demonstrate how an attacker could craft malicious protocol messages to trigger the vulnerable code path.\n2. iOS Image Parsing Vulnerability (CVE-2025-43300). The initial exploit allows an attacker to force the target's WhatsApp to load arbitrary web content. We will then explain how the attacker leverages this by embedding a malicious DNG image within a webpage to trigger a vulnerability in the iOS image parsing library. We will analyze how the RawCamera framework handles the parsing of DNG images, and pinpoint the resulting OOB vulnerability.\n3. Rebuilding the Chain: From Vulnerability to PoC.

Us too!\r\n\r\nAt The Usual Suspects we create open source emulations of famous music hardware, synthesizers and effect units. After releasing some emulations of devices around the Motorola 563xx DSP chip, we made further steps into reverse engineering custom silicon chips to achieve what no one has done before: a real low-level emulation of the JP-8000. This famous synthesizer featured a special \"SuperSaw\" oscillator algorithm, which defined an entire generation of electronic and trance music. The main obstacle was emulating the 4 custom DSP chips the device used, which ran software written with a completely undocumented instruction set. In this talk I will go through the story of how we overcame that obstacle, using a mixture of automated silicon reverse engineering, probing the chip with an Arduino, statistical analysis of the opcodes and fuzzing. Finally, I will talk about how we made the emulator run in real-time using JIT, and what we found by looking at the SuperSaw code.", "description": "This talk is a sequel to my last year's talk \"Proprietary silicon ICs and dubious marketing claims? Let's fight those with a microscope!\", where I showed how I reverse engineered a pretty old device (1986) by looking at microscope silicon pics alone, with manual tracing and some custom tools. Back then I claimed that taking a look at a more modern device would be way more challenging, due to the increased complexity.\n\nThis time, in fact, I've reverse engineered a much modern chip: the custom Roland/Toshiba TC170C140 ESP chip (1995). Completing this task required a different approach, as doing it manually would have required too much time. We used a guided automated approach that combines clever microscopy with computer vision to automatically classify standard cells in the chip, saving us most of the manual work.\nThe biggest win though came from directly probing the chip: by exploiting test routines and sending random data to the chip we figured out how the internal registers worked, slowly giving us insights about the encoding of the chip ISA. By combining those two approaches we managed to create a bit-accurate emulator, that also is able to run in real-time using JIT.\n\nIn this talk I want to cover the following topics:\n- What I learned since my previous talk by looking at more complicated chips\n- Towards automating the silicon reverse engineering process\n- How to find and exploit test modes to understand how stuff works\n- How we tricked the chips into spilling its own secrets\n- How the ESP chip works, compared to existing DSP chips\n- How the SuperSaw oscillator turned out to work\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "70a7d8a7-cdf3-5495-bc69-f8f496e88bd1", "name": "giulioz", "public_name": "giulioz", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/profile_square_fZr5F9k.jpg", "biography": "I'm an Italian guy that likes games, programming, designing user interfaces and tinkering with old stuff (especially vintage computers and games).

Furthermore, we leverage a flaw in cloud management services to take over any Unitree G1 robot connected to the Internet. By deobfuscating and patching the customized, VM-based obfuscated binaries, we successfully unlocked forbidden robotic movements restricted by the vendor firmware on consumer models such as the G1 AIR.

If the widespread, intrusive presence of these robots in our lives is inevitable, should we take the initiative to ensure they are completely under our control? What paths might attackers use to compromise these robots, and to what extent could they threaten the physical world?\n\nIn this talk, we first map the complete attack surface\u00a0of Unitree humanoids, covering hardware interfaces,\u00a0near-field radios and\u00a0Internet-accessible channels. We demonstrate how a local attacker can hijack a robot by exploiting vulnerabilities in short-range radio communications (Bluetooth, LoRa) and local Wi-Fi. We also present a fun exploit of the embodied AI in the humanoid: With a single spoken/text sentence, we jailbreak the on-device LLM Agent and pivot to\u00a0root-priviledged remote code execution. Combined with a flaw in the cloud management service, this forms a full path to gain complete control over any Unitree robot connected to the Internet, obtaining root shell, camera livestreaming, and speaker control.\n\nTo achieve this, we combined hardware inspection, firmware extraction, software-defined radio tooling, and\u00a0deobfuscation of customized, VM-based protected binaries. This reverse engineering breakthrough also allowed us to understand the overall control logic, patch decision points, and\u00a0unlock advanced robotic movements that were deliberately disabled on consumer models like G1 AIR.\n\nTakeaways.\u00a0Modern humanoids are networked, AI-powered cyber-physical systems; weaknesses across radios, cloud services, and on-device agents could allow attackers to remotely hijack robot operations, extract sensitive data or camera livestreams, or even weaponize the physical capabilities. As robotics continue their transition from controlled environments to everyday applications, our work highlights the urgent need for security-by-design in this emerging technology landscape.\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "57038be6-a793-5933-9b01-a7e91a1640ff", "name": "Shipei Qu", "public_name": "Shipei Qu", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/CBAQFY_izzawA5.jpg", "biography": "Shipei Qu (@itewqq) is a security researcher at DARKNAVY focusing on embedded systems, reverse engineering, side-channel attacks, and cryptography.

This talk covers three novel aspects of the OS: hardware MMU support (and why we had to make our own chip to get this feature), how and why we implemented the Rust standard library in Rust (instead of calling the C standard library, like most other Rust platforms), and how we combine the power of Rust semantics with virtual memory to create safe yet efficient asynchronous messaging primitives. We conclude with a short demo of the OS running on a new chip, the \"Baochip-1x\", which is an affordable, mostly-open RTL SoC built in 22nm TSMC, configured expressly for running Xous.", "description": "The world is full of small, Internet-of-Things (IoT) gadgets running embedded operating systems. These devices generally fall into two categories: larger devices running a full operating system using an MMU which generally means Linux, or smaller devices running without an MMU using operating systems like Zephyr, chibios, or rt-thread, or run with no operating system at all. The software that underpins these projects is written in C with coarse hardware memory protection at best. As a result, these embedded OSes lack the security guarantees and/or ergonomics offered by modern languages and best practices.\n\nThe Xous microkernel borrows concepts from heavier operating systems to modernize the embedded space. The open source OS is written in pure Rust with minimal dependencies and an emphasis on modularity and simplicity, such that a technically-savvy individual can audit the code base in a reasonable period of time. This talk covers three novel aspects of the OS: its incorporation of hardware memory virtualization, its pure-Rust standard library, and its message passing architecture.\n\nDesktop OSes such as Linux require a hardware MMU to virtualize memory. We explain how ARM has tricked us into accepting that MMUs are hardware-intensive features only to be found on more expensive \u201capplication\u201d CPUs, thus creating a vicious cycle where cheaper devices are forced to be less safe. Thanks to the open nature of RISC-V, we are able to break ARM\u2019s yoke and incorporate well-established MMU-based memory protection into embedded hardware, giving us security-first features such as process isolation and encrypted swap memory. In order to make Xous on real hardware more accessible, we introduce the Baochip-1x, an affordable, mostly-open RTL 22nm SoC configured expressly for the purpose of running Xous. The Baochip-1x features a Vexriscv CPU running at 400MHz, 2MiB of SRAM, 4MiB of nonvolatile RRAM, and a quad-core RV32E-derivative I/O accelerator called the \u201cBIO\u201d, based on the PicoRV clocked at 800MHz.\n\nMost Rust targets delegate crucial tasks such as memory allocation, networking, and threading to the underlying operating system\u2019s C standard library. We want strong memory safety guarantees all the way down to the memory allocator and task scheduler, so for Xous we implemented our standard library in pure Rust. Adhering to pure Rust also makes cross-compilation and cross-platform development a breeze, since there are no special compiler or linker concerns. We will show you how to raise the standard for \u201cPure Rust\u201d by implementing a custom libstd.\n\nXous combines the power of page-based virtual memory and Rust\u2019s strong borrow-checker semantics to create a safe and efficient method for asynchronous message passing between processes. This inter-process communication model allows for easy separation of different tasks while keeping the core kernel small. This process maps well onto the Rust \"Borrow / Mutable Borrow / Move\" concept and treats object passing as an IPC primitive. We will demonstrate how this works natively and give examples of how to map common programming algorithms to shuttle data safely between processes, as well as give examples of how we implement features such as scheduling and synchronization primitive entirely in user space.\n\nWe conclude with a short demo of Xous running on the Baochip-1x, bringing Xous from the realm of emulation and FPGAs into everyday-user accessible physical silicon.\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "4fa232d4-1c23-587b-ae2b-7b376bc114e2", "name": "bunnie", "public_name": "bunnie", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/bunnie-avatar2_jfcttmh.png", "biography": "bunnie is best known for his work hacking the Microsoft Xbox, as well as for his efforts in designing and manufacturing open source hardware, including the chumby (app-playing alarm clock), chibitronics (peel-and-stick electronics for craft), Novena (DIY laptop), and Precursor (trustable mobile device).

It digs deeper on the power of us and how civil society could stop a destructive surveillance driven digitalisation thus protecting millions of Kenyans.", "description": "In 2019, the Kenyan government announced the transition to a centralised database named National integrated Identity management system (Huduma Namba) in a bid to develop a digital Identity system that went on to be termed a \u201csingle source of truth. Historically, Kenya has not had the best track record with civil registration and identity systems. This is particularly due to the linkages with colonial practices with the first ID \u201cKipande\u201d being used as a tool for surveillance of natives and imposed for restriction of movement. This system carried on post independence creating different classes of citizens in terms of access to nationality documents. \nIt is for this reason that CSOs, mostly community-based, chose a three pronged approach to counter this; seeking legal redress, grassroots/community mobilization and advocacy and spotlighting ways in which in a shrinking civil society space, Kenyan civil society was able not only take up space, but make their impact felt in protecting the rights of those on the margins. The session shares lessons of how we shaped the Media narrative that took down a multi million dollar project that was not people centered but rather oppression driven. This session shares experiences of how we created a heightened sense of citizenry awareness to shoot down oppressive digitalisation agendas. \nThe aim is to show how these efforts led to over 10 million Kenyans resisting to enroll in the system especially the young people (Gen Z) who felt they were being coerced to join a system due to the poor messaging by the government and they connected with the NGO campaign thus choosing to resist the system in the true spirit of Hatupangwingwi, with Hashtags like [#DOIDRIGHT](https://events.ccc.de/congress/2025/hub/tag/DOIDRIGHT) and [#DEPORTME](https://events.ccc.de/congress/2025/hub/tag/DEPORTME) trending on social media as a sign of resistance. This led to the collapse of the whole project.\nFinally, the session will share how in 2022, when the new government wanted to roll out the new DPI project known as Maisha Namba, they realised the importance of including civil society voices and they convened over 50 NGOs to try to build buy-in for the new digital ID program. It was the first time the government and NGOs were on the same table discussing how to build an inclusive digital ID system. This is the story of how the power of us led to civil society earning their space in the designing phase of the new Digital Public Infrastructure.\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "67bf0710-540d-53ec-94ae-a6beea3ba305", "name": "Mustafa Mahmoud Yousif", "public_name": "Mustafa Mahmoud Yousif", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/NP8N3Y_dRyjC9J.jpg", "biography": "Mustafa Mahmoud is a citizenship and digital identity advocate with over twelve years of experience working in Kenya, Bangladesh, Jordan, and Myanmar.

And it offers ways to keep doing so.", "description": "Working with textile mediums like yarn, thread, and floss is generally seen as a feminine hobby and as thus is usually classified as craft, not art. And crafting is something people, maybe even people usually seen as a bit boring, do in their free time to unwind. Most of us have grown up with the image of the loving grandmother knitting socks for the family, an act of care that was never considered anything special.\nThe patriarchal society\u2019s tendency to underestimate anything considered feminine and, inextricably connected to this, domestic is an ongoing struggle. But being underestimated also provides a cover and with it the opportunity for subversion and resistance.\nAs global powers are cycling back to despotism and opression, let me take you back in time to show you how people used textile crafts to organise resistance and shape movements. Like the quilts that were designed and sewn to help enslaved people in the US escape slavery and navigate the Underground Railroad from the 1780s on, or the knitted garments that carried information about the Nazis to help resistance in occupied Europe during World War II, or the cross stitches by a prisoner of war that had Nazis unknowingly display art saying \u201cFuck Hitler\u201d.\nTextile crafts have been used by marginalised and disenfranchised people to protest, to organise, and to persist for centuries. This tradition found a new rise in what is now called \u201ccraftivism\u201d and is using the internet to build bigger communities spanning the world. These communities also come together to help, often quite tangibly by creating specific items like the home-sewn masks during early Covid19. In addition, crafting has scientifically-proven benefits for one\u2019s mental health.\nTaking up the increasingly popular quote \"When the world is too scary, too loud, too much: Stop consuming, start creating\", this talk shows how the skills to create have enabled and will enable people to resist and to persist.\n", "logo": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/39c3/submissions/JEHZPU/philo_stitches_vw3s5fm_E1ZCbt7_UXYOxIU.webp", "persons": [ { "guid": "137422da-217a-5e11-b660-4c6d02318838", "name": "Philo", "public_name": "Philo", "avatar": null, "biography": "Philo spends most of her time with historical documents and screams at politics way too often because people apparently don't learn from the past.

Tokens are computational fragments that deconstruct language into subword units, stored in large dictionaries. These tokens encode not only language but also political ideologies, corporate interests, and cultural biases even before model training begins. Social media handles like *realdonaldtrump*, brand names like *louisvuitton*, or even *!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* exist as single tokens, while other words remain fragmented. Through various artistic and adversarial experiments, we demonstrate that tokenization is a political act that determines what can be represented and how images become computable through language.", "description": "Tokens are the fragments of words that generative models use to process language, the step that breaks text into subword units before any neural networks are involved. There are 51 ways to combine tokens to spell the word giraffe using existing vocabulary: from a single token **giraffe** to splits using multiple tokens like *gi|ra|ffe*, *gira|f|fe*, or even *g|i|r|af|fe*.\n\nIn one experiment, we hijacked the prompting process and fed token combinations directly to text-to-image models. With variations like *g|iraffe* or *gir|affe* still generating recognizable results, our experiments show that the beginning and end of tokens hold particular semantic weight in forming giraffe-like images. This reveals that certain images cannot be generated through prompting alone, as the tokenization process sanitizes most combinations, suggesting that English, or any human language, is merely a subset of token languages.\n\nThe talk features experiments using genetic algorithms to reverse-engineer prompts from images, respelling words in token language to change their generative outcomes, and critically examining token dictionaries to investigate edge cases where the vocabulary breaks down entirely, producing somewhat *speculative languages* that include strange words formed at the edge of chaos where English meets token (non-)sense.\n\nThese experiments show that even before generation occurs, token dictionaries already encode a stochastic worldview, shaped by the statistical frequencies of their training data \u2013 dominated by popular culture, brands, platform-speak, and *non-words*. Tokenization is, therefore, a political act: it defines what can be represented and how the world becomes computationally representable. We will look at specific tokens and ask: Which models use which vocabularies? What *non-word* tokens are shared among models? And how do language models make sense of a world using a language we do not understand?\n", "logo": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/39c3/submissions/L7BUAN/photo_2025-12-11_17.12.19_3heeRc5_OONFq_2AyKTv5.webp", "persons": [ { "guid": "43656c5e-8178-5f5e-aaee-39ec192cac02", "name": "Ting-Chun Liu", "public_name": "Ting-Chun Liu", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/FDYRKA_bOBRTwD.webp", "biography": "Ting-Chun Liu (Taipei, Taiwan) is an artist whose practice and research operate at the intersections of critical artificial intelligence, audiovisual media, and network practice.

The talk looks at how designers turned a pragmatic font format into a field for experimentation \u2014 from animated typography and uniwidth button text to pattern fonts and typographic side effects with unintended aesthetics. Using examples from projects such as TypoLabs, Marjoree, Kario (the variable font that\u2019s used as part of the 39C3 visual identity), and Bronco, we\u2019ll explore how variable fonts evolved from efficiency tools into creative systems \u2014 and why the most interesting ideas often emerge when technology is used in unintended ways.", "description": "When the OpenType 1.8 specification introduced variable fonts in 2016, the idea was simple: combine all weights and styles of a font family into one file and save file size and therefore bandwidth. Yet in 2025, variable fonts have become a platform for artistic and technical exploration far beyond their initial goal.\n\nThis talk follows that transformation from the inside. It starts with a short history of flexible font technologies \u2014 Adobe\u2019s Multiple Master and Apple\u2019s TrueType GX formats of the 1990s (I am just mentioning the company names as they were the publishers of these technologies) \u2014 and how they failed to become standards. It then shows why variable fonts succeeded: many designers today are more tech savvy and know some basic HTML, CSS and maybe even some JavaScript. And at the same time all major browsers and almost all design apps support variable fonts by now.\n\nFrom there, I present a series of first-hand projects where typography met code:\n\u2013 TypoLabs (2017), whose identity used a custom variable font animating between extremes of weight and width \u2192 the variable font family became the (probably forever) unpublished variable font family Denman;\n\u2013 Marjoree (2024), a pair of variable pattern fonts based on hexagonal and pentagonal tilings that explore legibility and repetition;\n\u2013 Kario (2025), a duplex variable font powering the 39C3 identity, with uniwidth weights, optical-size adjustments, and typographic Easter eggs;\n\u2013 and Bronco (2017?), an experiment using the arbitrary-axis model for interpolation to escape the cube-shaped multiple master design space of traditional variable fonts.\n\nThe talk then moves from history to speculation. Early head-tracking experiments once tried to adjust a variable font\u2019s optical size based on reader position \u2014 producing total chaos as text reshaped itself while being read. On the other hand this playful chaos marks the moment when things become truly interesting: connecting a font axis to live data, to mouse movement, to sound, to network input \u2014 anything that makes type responsive and alive. That\u2019s the kind of misbehavior I want to talk about \u2014 not breaking for the sake of breaking, but using technology the \u201cwrong\u201d way to see what happens.\n\nThe talk will mix images, a lot of short videos, and a bit of behind-the-scenes insight into font development. It\u2019s about what happens when design tools meet code, and how that intersection keeps typography alive and unpredictable.\n\nLink list of variable font experiments:\nhttps://kario.showmefonts.com/\nhttps://marjoree.showmefonts.com/\nhttps://www.bronco.varfont.com/\nhttps://www.denman.varfont.com/\nhttps://www.seraphs.varfont.com/\n+ 39C3 visual identity\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "411eb1f1-55a7-5598-a14d-5e593da2d5c7", "name": "Bernd", "public_name": "Bernd", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/VWMQDH_oqwh3Pg.jpg", "biography": "Bernd Volmer is a type designer and font engineer based in Berlin.

In this talk, I will give a peek into the cryptographer's toolbox of advanced techniques to avoid bugs: targeted testing, model checking, mathematical proof assistants, information-flow analysis, and more. None of these techniques is a magic silver bullet, but they can help find flaws in reasoning about tricky corner cases in low-level code or prove that higher-level designs are sound, given a defined set of assumptions.

We'll share our methodology for fingerprinting AI-assisted crime infrastructure, discuss the ethical boundaries of counter-operations, and demonstrate how to build sustainable threat intelligence pipelines when your adversary can redeploy in 5 minutes. This talk proves that in 2025, the real exploit isn't zero-day\u2014it's zero-understanding.", "description": "Our journey began with a simple question: why are so many people losing money to fake convenience store delivery websites? The answer led us through two distinct criminal architectures, both exhibiting characteristics of large language model\u2013assisted development.\n\nCase 1 ran on PHP with backup artifacts exposing implementation details and query manipulation opportunities. The installation package itself contained pre-existing access mechanisms\u2014whether this was developer insurance or criminal-on-criminal sabotage remains unclear. We leveraged initial access to bypass security restrictions using protocol-level manipulation and extracted gigabytes of operational data.\n\nCase 2 featured authentication bypass vulnerabilities that granted direct administrative access. The backend structure revealed copy-pasted code patterns without proper security implementation.\n\nThroughout both systems, we observed telltale signs of AI-generated code: verbose documentation in unexpected languages, inconsistent coding patterns, textbook-like naming conventions, and theoretical security implementations. Even the UI revealed LLM fingerprints\u2014overly polished component layouts, placeholder text patterns, and design choices that felt distinctly \"tutorial-like.\" These weren't experienced developers\u2014they were operators deploying what LLMs gave them without understanding the internals.\n\nThe irony? We used AI extensively too: for data parsing, pattern recognition, attack surface mapping, and intelligence queries. The difference was intentionality\u2014we understood what the output meant.\n\nUsing open-source intelligence platforms and carefully crafted fingerprints, we mapped over a hundred active domains following similar patterns. Each one shared the same architecture, the same weaknesses, the same developer mistakes. This repeatability became our advantage. When scammers can redeploy infrastructure in days, you don't attack individual sites\u2014you automate the entire reconnaissance-to-evidence pipeline.\n\nThis talk demonstrates practical techniques for mass-scale fraud infrastructure fingerprinting, operational security considerations when investigating active criminal operations, and methods to recognize AI-generated code patterns that reveal threat actor sophistication. We'll discuss the ethical boundaries of counter-fraud operations and evidence preservation for law enforcement, along with automation strategies for sustainable threat intelligence when adversaries rebuild faster than you can report. The demonstration will show how to go from a single suspicious domain to a network map of 100+ sites and thousands of victim records\u2014using tools available to any researcher.\n\nThis isn't a story about elite hackers versus criminal masterminds. It's about two groups equally reliant on AI vibing their way through technical problems\u2014one for fraud, one for justice. The skill barrier has collapsed. The question now is: who has better context, better ethics, and better coffee?\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "3bfca646-7117-5155-a3ad-f95d091ca924", "name": "Chiao-Lin Yu (Steven Meow)", "public_name": "Chiao-Lin Yu (Steven Meow)", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/XSDDB8_v1gDUIZ.jpg", "biography": "Chiao-Lin Yu (Steven Meow) currently serves as a Red Team Cyber Threat Researcher at Trend Micro.

Als dezentrale Netzwerke werden technische Infrastrukturen verstanden, die nicht von einer zentralen Autorit\u00e4t, sondern verteilt \u00fcber Instanzen zur Verf\u00fcgung gestellt werden. Nutzer:innen profitieren von dieser Infrastruktur, nutzen beispielsweise das Fediverse oder das Tor-Netzwerk, ohne zur Infrastruktur beizutragen. Zugleich k\u00f6nnen dezentrale Netzwerke nur dann bestehen, wenn hinreichende Ressourcen von Personen oder Organisationen mobilisiert werden, um das Netzwerk \u00fcberhaupt zur Verf\u00fcgung zu stellen.

Hierzu z\u00e4hlen Partizipation oder die Idee einer \u00f6ffentlichen Grundfinanzierung. Der Vortrag wird neben soziologischen Ideen und harten Zahlen auch durch eine ordentliche Portion Idealismus zu Fragen der Souver\u00e4nit\u00e4t und Autonomit\u00e4t in der Digitalisierung motiviert.", "description": "Die Soziologie hat immer etwas mitzuteilen, sobald Fragen kollektiven Handelns auftreten. Dies gilt sowohl f\u00fcr soziale wie auch digitale R\u00e4ume. So hat der Soziologe Peter Kollock bereits in den 1990er Jahren festgestellt, \u201ethe Internet is filled with junk and jerks\u201c (Kollock, 1999, S. 220). Gegenw\u00e4rtig d\u00fcrfte die Mehrheit dieser Aussage anstandslos zustimmen. Aber dies ist nicht der entscheidende Punkt, sondern die weitere Beobachtung: \u201eGiven that online interaction is relatively anonymous, that there is no central authority, and that it is difficult or impossible to impose monetary or physical sanctions on someone, it is striking that the Internet is not literally a war of all against all\u201d (1999, S. 220).\n\nDie Welt kennt inzwischen zahlreiche Gegenbeispiele, bei denen Autorit\u00e4ten das Internet nutzen, um das Nutzungsverhalten zu monetarisieren oder \u00dcberwachungstechnologien zur Sanktionierung einsetzen (Zuboff, 2019). Diese Ausgangslage beziehe ich in meiner Forschung ein, wenn ich dezentrale Netzwerke wie das Fediverse oder das Tor-Netzwerk aus soziologischer Perspektive betrachte. In erster Linie bin ich daran interessiert zu verstehen, wie dezentrale Netzwerke \u2013 organisatorisch nicht technisch \u2013 entstehen und welche Herausforderungen es dabei zu \u00fcberwinden gilt (Sanders & Van Dijck, 2025). Eine zentrale Motivation orientiert sich an der Frage, wie ein Internet ohne zentrale Autorit\u00e4t, verringert von Marktabh\u00e4ngigkeiten, resilient gegen\u00fcber Sanktionsmechanismen und Souver\u00e4n bez\u00fcglich eigener Daten, aufgebaut werden kann. Motiviert durch diesen pr\u00e4skriptiven Rahmen, betrachte ich im Vortrag die Herausforderungen zun\u00e4chst deskriptiv und beziehe meine soziologische Perspektive ein. Denn in der Regel profitieren Menschen, die einen Vorteil aus der Realisierung eines bestimmten Ziels ziehen, unabh\u00e4ngig davon, ob sie pers\u00f6nlich einen Anteil der Kooperation tragen \u2013 oder eben nicht. Das kollektive Handeln f\u00e4llt mitunter schwer, obwohl oder gerade, weil ein begr\u00fcndetes kollektives Interesse zur Umsetzung eines bestimmten Zieles besteht. Gleiche Interessen sind nicht gleichbedeutend mit gemeinsamen Interessen. Diese Situationsbeschreibung ist vielf\u00e4ltig anwendbar von WG-Aufr\u00e4umpl\u00e4nen bis zu Fragen der klimaneutralen Transformation. Der Grund ist, dass kollektives Handeln ein Mindestma\u00df an Zeit, Aufwand oder Geld verursacht, sodass vielfach ein Trittbrettfahren gew\u00e4hlt wird in der Hoffnung, dass immer noch genug andere kooperieren, um das gew\u00fcnschte Ziel zu erreichen (Hardin, 1982).\n\nAus dieser Perspektive betrachte ich dezentrale Netzwerke. So kann das Fediverse oder der Tor-Browser genutzt werden, ohne eine eigene Instanz oder Knoten zu hosten. Dies ist auch nicht das Ziel der genannten dezentralen Netzwerke. Dennoch: Die Kosten und der Aufwand f\u00fcr die technische Infrastruktur m\u00fcssen von einem kleinen Teil getragen werden, w\u00e4hrend die \u00fcberw\u00e4ltigende Mehrheit der Nutzer:innen von der Infrastruktur profitieren, ohne einen Beitrag zu dieser zu leisten. Dies f\u00fchrt zur origin\u00e4ren Instabilit\u00e4t dezentraler Netzwerke und stellt eine relevante Herausforderung f\u00fcr die Zukunft dar. W\u00e4hrend durch Netzwerkanalysen das Wachstum und die Verstetigung von dezentralen Netzwerken beschrieben wird, fehlt es an einem vertieften Verst\u00e4ndnis \u00fcber Bedingungen wie dezentrale Netzwerke \u00fcberhaupt entstehen. W\u00e4hrend des Vortrags werde ich empirische Daten zur Entwicklung des Fediverse und des Tor-Netzwerkes zeigen, um die Herausforderung zu verdeutlichen. Insbesondere das Tor-Netzwerk steht dabei vor dem Problem, dass die M\u00f6glichkeit zur De-Anonymisierung steigt, wenn die Anzahl an Knoten sinkt. Die \u00dcberwindung des von mir dargestellten Kollektivgutproblems nimmt demnach eine zentrale Rolle zur Aufrechterhaltung ein.\n\nDie Motivation sich mit dezentralen Netzwerken auseinanderzusetzen, resultiert aus der Umkehr der Argumentation, wenn Netzwerke \u00fcber eine zentrale Autorit\u00e4t verf\u00fcgen und zugleich in der Lage sind, Sanktionsmechanismen zu nutzen, beispielsweise um unliebsame User:innen zu sperren, das Nutzungsverhalten zu \u00fcberwachen und zu monetarisieren (Zuboff, 2019). Hierbei beziehe ich mich offensichtlich auf die Entwicklung sozialer Medien, die das oben beschriebene Problem kollektiven Handelns durch Kommodifizierung der Infrastruktur l\u00f6sen. \u00c4hnliches ist aus dem Bereich der Kryptow\u00e4hrung bekannt, welche ebenfalls durch den individualisierten monet\u00e4ren Vorteil, das hei\u00dft der Verhei\u00dfung einer Kapitalakkumulation, Kooperationsprobleme \u00fcberwindet. Stellen wir uns so die Zukunft des Internets vor?\nDezentrale Netzwerke sind nicht per se eine allumfassende technische L\u00f6sung f\u00fcr gesellschaftlich-soziale Probleme. Im Gegenteil: Dezentrale Netzwerke, wenn sie nicht auf Kommodifizierung basieren, unterliegen einer sozialen Ordnung, die sich eben nicht technisch l\u00f6sen l\u00e4sst. Ein Bewusstsein \u00fcber die Notwendigkeit dezentraler Netzwerke ist hierbei leider nicht ausreichend, sondern es braucht Menschen und Organisationen, die bereit sind einen Teil der Infrastruktur zu tragen, ohne einen direkten Vorteil hiervon zu erhalten. Diese Selbstorganisation steht im Vergleich zu profitorientierten Unternehmen immer im Nachteil (Offe & Wiesenthal, 1980).\n\nIn meiner Forschung verbinde ich mein Interesse an Grundstrukturen und Bedingungen sozialer Ordnung, wie dem Kooperationsproblem, mit dem Anspruch gesellschaftlicher Gestaltung. Allein das Bewusstsein \u00fcber diese Bedingungen kann noch kein Kooperationsproblem l\u00f6sen. Es kann allerdings helfen, den Rahmen dieser Bedingungen aktiv zu gestalten. Ich werde mich dabei zwischen kritischen Realit\u00e4ten und hoffnungsvollen Ausblicken bewegen, denn ganz offensichtlich existieren dezentrale Netzwerke, die eine organisatorische und technische Alternative anbieten. Doch wie der Titel suggeriert, hilft hier auf die Dauer nur die (zivilgesellschaftliche) Power.\n\nLiteratur\nHardin, R. (1982). Collective Action. Hopkins University Press.\nKollock, P. (1999).

Short answer: we found that it\u2019s easy to implement oscillators running at 6 GHz that can theoretically dissipate around 20 kW on a large cloud FPGA when driving the signal to all the available resources. It is interesting to note that this power density is not very far away from that of the surface of the sun. However, such power load jump is usually not a problem as it will trigger some protection circuitry. This led us to the next question: would a localized hotspot with such power density damage the chip if we remain within the typical power envelope of a cloud FPGA (~100 W)? While we could not \u201cfry\u201d the chip or induce permanent errors (and we tried several variants), we did observe that a few routing wires aged to become up to 70% slower in just a few days of stressing the chip. This basically means that such an FPGA cannot be rented out to cloud users without risking timing violations.\r\nIn this talk, we will present how we optimized power wasting, how we measured wire latencies with ps accuracy, how we attacked 100 FPGA cloud instances and how we can protect FPGAs against such DOS attacks.", "description": "FPGA instances are now offered by multiple cloud service providers (including Amazon EC2 F1/F2 instances, Alibaba ECS Instances, and Microsoft Azure NP-Series). The low-level programmability of FPGAs allows implementing new attack vectors including DOS attacks. While some severe attacks (such as short circuits) cannot be easily deployed as users are prevented to load own configuration bitstreams on the cloud FPGAs, it has been demonstrated that it is possible to leak information (like cloud instance scheduling policies or the physical topologies of the FPGA servers) or to mount DoS attacks by excessive power hammering. For instance, basically all cloud FPGAs provide logic cells that can be configured as small shift registers. This allows building toggle-shift-registers with 10K and more flip-flops, which can draw over 1 KW power when clocked at a few hundred MHz. \nIn our work, we created fast ring-oscillators that bypass all design checks applied during bitstream cloud deployment and how we achieved toggle rates of 8 GHz inside an FPGA by using glitch amplification. The latter one was calibrated with the help of a time-to-digital converter (TDC).\nAs a first attack, we used power hammering to crash AWS F1 instances by increasing power consumption to 300 W (three times the allowed power envelope). We used physical unclonable functions (PUFs) to examine the behaviour of the attacked FPGA cloud instances and we found that most remained unavailable for several hours after the attack.\nAs a more subtle attack, we tried to cause permanent damage to FPGAs in our lab by driving fast toggling signals to virtually any available wire (and primitive) into a small region of the chip. With this, we created hotspot designs that draw 130 W in less than 1% of the available logic and routing resources of a datacenter FPGA. Even though the achieved power density was excessive, it was insufficient to induce permanent damages. This is largely due to the area inefficiencies of an FPGA that limit the power density. For instance, FPGAs use large multiplexers to implement the switchable connections and there exists only one active path that is routed through the multiplexers, hence, leaving most of the transistors sitting idle. Similarly, FPGAs provide a large number of configuration memory cells (about 1 Gb on a typical datacenter device) that draw negligible power as these do not switch during operation. All these idle elements force the power drawing circuits to be spread out, hence limiting power density. Anyway, when experimenting with different hotspot variants, we found thermal runaway effects and excessive device aging with up to a 70% increase in delay on some wires. We achieved this aging in just a few days and under normal operational conditions (i.e. by staying within the available power budget and having board cooling running). Such a large increase in latency can be considered to render an FPGA useless as it will usually not be fast enough to host (realistic) user designs.\nBeyond exploring these attack vectors, we developed countermeasures and design guidelines to prevent such attacks. These include scans of the user designs, use restrictions to resources like IOs and clock trees, as well as runtime monitoring and FPGA health checks. With this, we believe that FPGAs can be operated securely and reliably in a cloud setting.\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "afc01a46-a8d1-5159-a2ee-a99f5de21df2", "name": "Dirk", "public_name": "Dirk", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/Electronics-for-dogs-174x209_7S7zNGn.jpg", "biography": "Dirk leads the Novel Computing Technologies group at Heidelberg University.

This is how it works, for example, in the Pr\u00fcm Treaty among all Schengen states, which has so far covered fingerprints and DNA data and is now also being extended to facial images.\n\nThe EBSP could practically affect anyone who falls under the jurisdiction of border authorities: from passport controls to deportation proceedings. Under the US autocrat Donald Trump, this is a particular problem, as his militia-like immigration authority ICE is already using data from various sources to brutally persecute migrants \u2013 direct access to police data from VWP partners could massively strengthen this surveillance apparatus. Germany alone might give access to facial images of 5.5 million people and fingerprints of a similar dimension.\n\nThe USA has already tightened the Visa Waiver Programme several times, for instance in 2006 through the introduction of biometric passports and in 2008 through the ESTA pre-registration requirement. In addition, there were bilateral agreements for the exchange of fingerprints and DNA profiles \u2013 however, these may only be transmitted in individual cases involving serious crime.\n\nExisting treaties such as the EU-US Police Framework Agreement are not applicable to the \"Enhanced Border Security Partnership\", as it applies exclusively to law enforcement purposes. It is also questionable how the planned data transfer is supposed to be compatible with the strict data protection rules of the GDPR. The EU Commission therefore wants to negotiate a framework agreement on the EBSP that would apply to all member states. Time is running short: the US government has set VWP states a deadline of 31 December 2026.

Building on earlier small-scale studies focused on individual cities, we set out to launch a project that captures shared bike system data across Europe - from regular bikes to e-bikes.\n\nIn our study, which led to an **[open-access scientific publication](https://doi.org/10.1007/s11116-025-10661-2)**, we scraped shared bike data across Europe at a **minute-by-minute level** over many months, accumulating **more than 43 million records**. We analyze **behavioural and systemic patterns** to understand what makes a bike-sharing system useful and successful within a city. As such, this evidence-based research fits very well with the **39C3 Science track** and the theme of \"**Power Cycles**\" as we dissect the complex energy and usage cycles that define urban mobility and sustainable futures for everyone. We bridge the gap between urban planning, socioeconomics, and technology by applying statistical modeling and engineering knowledge to a large-scale mined dataset. Join us to learn whether right-wing politics stall sustainable mobility, or which climate e-bikes feel most comfortable in!\n\nWe love going the extra mile and therefore provide a live, interactive demo that everyone can use to explore and understand traffic flows: [bikesharingflowmap.de](https://bikesharingflowmap.de/). Therefore, attendees will be able to play with the data in a self-service way. We also provide all code on GitHub and the complete dataset on HuggingFace. And, of course, we will also discuss how both bike-sharing operators and our boss reacted when we told them about the dataset we already had collected (spoiler: lawyers were involved, yet it\u2019s still available for downloads\u2026).\n", "logo": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/39c3/submissions/L98WRF/Screenshot_from_2025-10-22_21-18-05_Rip_Wqtzdto.webp", "persons": [ { "guid": "f1c434a0-24d7-58b1-9a31-31ce0293db12", "name": "Martin Lellep", "public_name": "Martin Lellep", "avatar": null, "biography": "Here for a cool talk!\n", "url": "https://events.ccc.de/congress/2025/hub/user/speaker_f1c434a0-24d7-58b1-9a31-31ce0293db12" }, { "guid": "245727d0-4ed4-593c-a77d-c28225f4478e", "name": "Georg Balke", "public_name": "Georg Balke", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/RB3CZW_MaiiW1B.png", "biography": "Ich leite an der TU M\u00fcnchen das Team Smart Mobility, in dem wir uns mit datengetriebenen Methoden in der Verkehrsforschung besch\u00e4ftigen.

Daf\u00fcr sorgen unter anderem verschiedenste Influencer, die die Pr\u00e4parate in den sozialen Medien bewerben. Statt nur Produkte der gro\u00dfen Player in diesem Bereich anzupreisen, wie More Nutrition, ESN oder Holy Energy, haben einige Influencer mittlerweile sogar ihre eigenen Nahrungserg\u00e4nzungsmittelmarken auf den Markt gebracht.\n\nVersprochen wird dabei vieles: Pre-Workout-Booster sollen die Leistung beim Krafttraining erh\u00f6hen und blitzschnell zum Traumk\u00f6rper verhelfen, w\u00e4hrend Gaming-Booster Wachheit und eine Top-Performance beim Zocken versprechen. Wieder andere Kapseln oder auch Gummib\u00e4rchen sollen f\u00fcr eine makellose Haut oder einen ruhigen Schlaf sorgen. Manche Pr\u00e4parate k\u00f6nnen angeblich sogar Krankheiten vorbeugen oder heilen.\n\nDoch was steckt tats\u00e4chlich in diesen Mitteln, die online regelrecht gehypt werden? Rein rechtlich handelt es sich um Lebensmittel, was wiederum bedeutet, dass sie ohne beh\u00f6rdliche Zulassung auf den Markt gebracht werden d\u00fcrfen. Es gen\u00fcgt schon, wenn der Unternehmer f\u00fcr die Sicherheit garantiert. Die H\u00fcrden f\u00fcr einen Marktzutritt sind damit denkbar niedrig, w\u00e4hrend gleichzeitig Gewinnmargen locken, die sogar den illegalen Drogenhandel \u00fcbertreffen.\n\nDas Ergebnis zeigt sich in den Berichten der amtlichen Lebensmittel\u00fcberwachung: Bei den Proben, die das Nieders\u00e4chsische Landesamt f\u00fcr Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit im Jahr 2024 untersucht hat, entsprachen rund neun von zehn Proben (89 %) nicht den rechtlichen Vorgaben. Neben M\u00e4ngeln bei der Kennzeichnung und Bewerbung, wodurch Verbraucher viel Geld f\u00fcr wirkungslose Pulver ausgeben, ist die stoffliche Zusammensetzung der Produkte besonders kritisch. So kann beispielsweise die Einnahme von \u00fcberdosierten Vitamin-D-Pr\u00e4paraten zu St\u00f6rungen des Calciumstoffwechsels f\u00fchren (sog. Hypercalc\u00e4mien). Vermeintlich harmlose pflanzliche Pr\u00e4parate, wie Kurkuma oder Ashwaganda, k\u00f6nnen zu Lebersch\u00e4den bis hin zum Leberversagen f\u00fchren. Besonders brisant ist dabei, dass die Wahrscheinlichkeit f\u00fcr die Erforderlichkeit einer Lebertransplantation oder den Tod des Patienten h\u00f6her ist als bei Lebersch\u00e4den durch Arzneimittel (83 vs. 66 %). Es kommen also Menschen durch die Einnahme von Pr\u00e4paraten zu Schaden, mit deren Hilfe sie ihrer Gesundheit eigentlich etwas Gutes tun wollten.\n\nDer Vortrag beleuchtet daher die aktuelle Marktsituation unter besonderer Ber\u00fccksichtigung des Influencer-Marketings kritisch, erkl\u00e4rt den Unterschied zwischen Nahrungserg\u00e4nzungs- und Arzneimitteln und stellt die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen f\u00fcr das Inverkehrbringen und die Bewerbung von Nahrungserg\u00e4nzungsmitteln dar.

What could go wrong? These systems are being integrated directly into operating systems and applications, like web browsers. This move represents a fundamental paradigm shift, transforming them from relatively neutral resource managers into an active, goal-oriented infrastructure ultimately controlled by the companies that develop these systems, not by users or application developers. Systems like Microsoft's \"Recall,\" which create a comprehensive \"photographic memory\" of all user activity, are marketed as productivity enhancers, but they function as OS-level surveillance and create significant privacy vulnerabilities. In the case of Recall, we\u2019re talking about a centralized, high-value target for attackers that poses an existential threat to the privacy guarantees of meticulously engineered applications like Signal. This shift also fundamentally undermines personal agency, replacing individual choice and discovery with automated, opaque recommendations that can obscure commercial interests and erode individual autonomy.\r\n\r\nThis talk will review the immediate and serious danger that the rush to shove agents into our devices and digital lives poses to our fundamental right to privacy and our capacity for genuine personal agency. Drawing from Signal's analysis, it moves beyond outlining the problem to also present a \"tourniquet\" solution: looking at what we need to do *now* to ensure that privacy at the application layer isn\u2019t eliminated, and what the hacker community can do to help. We will outline a path for ensuring developer agency, granular user control, radical transparency, and the role of adversarial research.", "description": "The talk will provide a critical technical and political economy analysis of the new privacy crisis emerging from OS and application level AI agents, aimed at the 39C3 \"Ethics, Society & Politics\" audience.\n\n1. Defining the Threat: The OS as a Proactive Participant (5 mins)\n We will begin by defining \"Agentic AI\" in two contexts - imbibed into the operating system and deployed via critical gateway applications such as web browsers. Traditionally, the operating systems and browsers are largely neutral enforcers of user agency, managing resources and providing APIs for applications to run reliably. We will argue that this neutrality is close to being eliminated. The new paradigm shifts these applications into a proactive agent that actively observes, records, and anticipates user actions across all applications.The prime example for this analysis will be Microsoft\u2019s \"Recall\" feature, Google\u2019s Magic Cue, and OpenAI\u2019s Atlas. Politically, we will frame this not as a \"feature\" but as the implementation of pervasive, non-consensual surveillance and remote-control infrastructure. This \"photographic memory\" of and demand for non-differentiated access to everything from private Signal messages to financial data to health data creates a catastrophic single point of failure, making a single security breach an existential threat to a user's entire digital life. Ultimately, we hope to illustrate how putting our brains in a jar (with agentic systems) is effectively a prompt injection attack against our own humanity.\n\n2. The Existential Threat to Application-Level Privacy (10 mins)\n The core of the talk will focus on what this means for privacy-first applications like Signal. We will explain the \"blood-brain barrier\" analogy: secure apps are meticulously engineered to minimize data and protect communications, relying on the OS to be a stable, neutral foundation on which to build. This new OS trend breaks that barrier. We will demonstrate how OS-level surveillance renders application-level privacy features, including end-to-end encryption, effectively useless. If the OS can screenshot a message before it's encrypted or after it's decrypted, the promise of privacy is broken, regardless of the app's design. We will also discuss the unsustainable \"clever hacks\" (like Signal using a DRM feature) that developers are forced to implement, underscoring the need for a structural solution.\n\n3. An Actionable Framework for Remediation (20 mins)\n The final, and most important, part of the talk will move from critique to action. We will present an actionable four-point framework as a \"tourniquet\" to address these immediate dangers:\n\na. Empower Developers: Demand clear, officially supported APIs for developers to designate individual applications as \"sensitive\" with the default posture being for such applications being opted-out of access by agentic systems (either OS or application based) (default opt-out)\n\nb. Granular User Control: Move beyond all-or-nothing permissions. Users must have explicit, fine-grained control to grant or deny AI access on an app-by-app basis.\n\nc. Mandate Radical Transparency: OS vendors and application developers must clearly disclose what data is accessed, how it's used, and how it's protected\u2014in human-readable terms, not buried in legalese. Laws and regulations must play an essential role but we cannot just wait for them to be enforced, or it will be too late.\n\nd. Encourage and Protect Adversarial Research: We will conclude by reinforcing the need for a pro-privacy, pro-security architecture by default, looking at the legal frameworks that govern these processes and why they need to be enforced, and finally asking the attendees to continue exposing vulnerabilities in such systems.

Converting shit into biochar presents a powerful solution: the process eliminates contaminants, stabilizes and locks away carbon, and can be used to improve agricultural soils. The challenge is that most nutrients in this biochar are not accessible to plants. To overcome this, I mixed human and chicken shit and produced a \u201cSuperchar\u201d that releases far more nutrients.

That ubiquity makes high-risk groups such as journalists, activists, and dissidents prime targets for sophisticated spyware that exploits device vulnerabilities.\r\n\r\nOn Android devices, GPU drivers have repeatedly served as the final escalation vector into the kernel. To study and mitigate that risk, we undertook a research project to virtualize the Qualcomm Android kernel and the KGSL graphics driver from scratch in QEMU. This new environment enables deep debugging, efficient coverage collection, and large-scale fuzzing across server farms, instead of relying on a handful of preproduction devices.\r\n\r\nThis talk will highlight the technical aspects of our research, starting with the steps required to boot the Qualcomm mobile kernel in QEMU, all the way up to the partial emulation of the GPU.

In an effort to keep their products secure, these companies rely on state-of-the-art testing techniques such as fuzzing. They commonly perform their fuzzing campaigns on-device to find vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, this approach is expensive to scale and does not always provide fine-grained control over the target. To address these issues, we approached the problem through the prism of emulation, by partially reimplementing the hardware as a normal software to run on a computer. That way, we could scale fuzzing instances, and gain full control over the emulated target.\n\nThe presentation will outline how we made the full emulation of Qualcomm\u2019s Android ecosystem possible by tweaking the complex build system of the Android image and implementing a custom board (including more than 10 custom devices) in QEMU. We will review the steps required and the technical challenges encountered along the way.\n\nAfter providing a quick recap and the latest updates on LibAFL QEMU (presented at 37C3) by one of the LibAFL maintainers, we will delve into the gory details of how we partially emulated the latest version of Adreno\u2014the GPU designed by Qualcomm\u2014and built a fuzzer for its Android kernel driver. In particular, we will show how LibAFL QEMU was integrated into our custom board and the few improvements we made to the kernel to get better coverage with KCOV.

Im Rahmen einer Durchsuchung erm\u00f6glicht es der \u00a7\u00a7 110 Strafprozessordnung eine vorl\u00e4ufige Sicherung und Durchsicht der Speichermedien. Auch diese Vorschrift reicht nicht aus, um Grundrechte angemessen zu sch\u00fctzen, da mit der kompletten Ausforschung des gesamten Datenbestandes ein gravierender Grundrechtseingriff in die Privatsph\u00e4re der Betroffenen verbunden ist und gesetzlich keine angemessenen Grenzen gesetzt werden.\n\nGerade auf Smartphones befinden sich oft h\u00f6chstpers\u00f6nliche Daten wie Chats mit der Familie oder dem*der Partner*in, Fotos, Kontakte, Standortdaten und Dating-Apps. Dar\u00fcber hinaus sind die Ger\u00e4te regelm\u00e4\u00dfig mit Cloud-Diensten und anderen Datentr\u00e4gern verbunden. Auf all diese Daten k\u00f6nnen Polizeibeh\u00f6rden dann zugreifen.\nM\u00f6glich wird das durch Software von Firmen wie Cellebrite, MSAB oder Magnet. Diese nutzen Sicherheitsl\u00fccken aus, um die Verschl\u00fcsselung von Smartphones zu knacken. Wie auch bei Sicherheitsl\u00fccken f\u00fcr Staatstrojaner sind die Sicherheitsl\u00fccken, die diese Firmen ausnutzen, den Herstellern nicht bekannt. Damit unterst\u00fctzen deutsche Beh\u00f6rden ein System, dass die Ger\u00e4te aller unsicher macht. Auch die Bitlocker-Verschl\u00fcsselung von Windows-Computern l\u00e4sst sich oft umgehen. Dies erm\u00f6glicht den Strafverfolgungsbeh\u00f6rden den freien und unbeschr\u00e4nkten Zugang zu allen pers\u00f6nlichen Daten, ohne angemessene gesetzliche oder gerichtliche Kontrolle und \u00dcberpr\u00fcfung.

Defenders argue that this is a price worth paying to ensure free speech for people who could otherwise not speak up or run their own services.\n\nThis obviously raises the question what onion services are being actually used for in practice. Many researchers have tried to answer this question in the past. Based on their work we already know a few things:\n\n- 9% of all Websites on the Darknet are marketplaces [1]\n- 2.7% of all Websites on the Darknet are marketplaces [2]\n- 50% of all Websites on the Darknet are marketplaces [3]\n- 8.4% of all Websites on the Darknet are marketplaces [4]\n- 27% of all Websites on the Darknet are marketplaces [5]\n- 34.8% of all Websites on the Darknet are marketplaces [6]\n\nNo, this is not a copy and paste error, all of the above statements can be found in peer-reviewed scientific publications. All of these results are valid on their own and constitute valuable contributions to science, but it does not take an expert to notice the contradictions in their findings. \nThe reasons for these inconsistencies are the main topic of this talk. We will discuss the information available to researchers and the limitations originating from it. Challenges and current disagreements when it comes to interpreting available data will be addressed along with common misrepresentations of research results. We will highlight how the choice of data sources can predetermine the final result before a study has even begun, how minor changes to definitions can lead to completely different results and how important context is when interpreting data.\n\nArmed with this knowledge, we can tackle the challenge to find out what we know about the Darknet, what we might figure out in the future, what we can reasonably assume but will never be able to prove, and what we will (hopefully) never know.\n\n-----------------------------------------\nSources\n[1] https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-ifs.2015.0121\n[2] https://doi.org/10.1016/j.future.2024.03.025\n[3] https://doi.org/10.1145/3600160.3600167\n[4] https://doi.org/10.1109/INFOCOM53939.2023.10229057\n[5] https://doi.org/10.1109/ICDCSW.2014.20\n[6] https://doi.org/10.1080/00396338.2016.1142085\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "2d9465e8-eec4-54ec-8cec-8467f5da389f", "name": "Tobias H\u00f6ller", "public_name": "Tobias H\u00f6ller", "avatar": null, "biography": "I am a security researcher and teacher at Johannes Kepler University in Linz, where I have been hacking everything from cash registers to malicous Tor relay operators.

However, their most common critique is that these types of vulnerabilities are not really practical. Even though it is cool to leak `/etc/shadow` with a CPU bug, it has limited real-world impact. In this talk, we take Spectre out for a walk and let it see the clouds, by leaking memory across virtual machine boundaries at a public cloud provider, bypassing mitigations against these types of attacks. Our report was awarded with a $151,515 bug bounty, Google Cloud's highest bounty yet.", "description": "Seven years ago, Spectre and Meltdown were announced. These two vulnerabilities showed that instructions executed by the CPU might accidentally access secret data. This secret data can contain files cached from disk, cryptographic keys, private information, or anything else that might be stored in memory. An attacker can use Spectre to learn the value of that secret data, even though the attacker is not supposed to have access to it.\n\nEven though this sounds problematic, there is a reason why these type of vulnerabilities haven't had a significant real-world impact. Mitigations make it much harder to pull off, and an attacker needs a form of remote code execution anyway to trigger the relevant CPU instructions. If an attacker can already execute arbitrary code, then Spectre is probably not what you should be worried about. For regular users, these CPU vulnerabilities are likely not that much of a threat.\n\nHowever, that is not the case for public cloud providers. Their business model is to provide *remote code execution as a service*, and to rent out shared hardware resources as efficiently as possible. Customers run their system in an seemingly isolated virtual machine on top of shared physical hardware. Because customers can run anything they want on these systems, public cloud providers must treat these workloads as untrusted. They have to assume the worst case scenario, i.e. that an attacker is deliberately trying violate the confidentiality, integrity or availability of their systems, and, by extension, their customers' systems. For transient execution vulnerabilities like Spectre, that means that they enable all reasonable mitigations, and some more.\n\nIn this talk, we show that transient execution attacks can be used on real-world systems, despite the deployed software mitigations. We demonstrate this by silently leaking secret data from another virtual machine at a major global cloud provider, defeating virtual machine isolation without leaving a trace. Additionally, we'll discuss our coordinated disclosure process, the currently deployed mitigations and how future mitigations could address the issue.\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "9e0ac2a9-1719-503b-a174-ba007e957ca3", "name": "Thijs Raymakers", "public_name": "Thijs Raymakers", "avatar": null, "biography": "Hacker from Amsterdam.

They replaced the SIM cards of all 23 million subscribers, and implemented additional mechanism to track the possible cloning of the SIM card. We analyze the aftermath and how it will effectively protect against the said attack.\n\nKT's femtocell and operator billing breach (investigation still ongoing as the time of writing) is attributed to the mismanagement of KT's femtocell, allowing an external attacker to mimick the behavior of KT's legitimate femtocell and use as a cellular interception device. This is a modern implementation of the remarkable research \"Weaponizing Femtocells\" back in 2012, and new cellular technologies like VoLTE have changed the possible attack vectors.

Using a weakness in the signature verification we can load custom microcode updates and modify behavior of stock AMD Zen 1-5 CPUs. While AMD has released patches to address this weakness on some CPUs, we can still use unpatched systems for our analysis.\r\n\r\nIn this talk we cover what we found out about microcode, what we saw in the microcode ROM, the tooling we build, how we worked to find out more and how you can write & test your own microcode on your own AMD Zen systems. We have our tools up on https://github.com/AngryUEFI for everyone to play around with and hopefully help us understand microcode more than we currently do.", "description": "Modern CPUs often translate the complex, user visible instruction set like x86_64 into a simpler, less feature rich internal instruction set. For simple instructions this translation is done by a fast path decoding unit. However some instructions, like `wrmsr` or `rdrand` are too complex to decode that way. These instructions instead are translated using a microcode decoder that can act almost like an execution engine. The microcode decoder still emits internal instructions into the pipeline, but allows for features like conditional branches and calls & returns. All of this logic happens during a single x86_64 instruction and is usually hidden from the outside world. At least since AMD K8, launched in 2003, AMD CPUs allowed updating this microcode to fix bugs made in the original implementation.\n\nBuilding on our [previous](https://media.ccc.de/v/34c3-9058-everything_you_want_to_know_about_x86_microcode_but_might_have_been_afraid_to_ask) [experience](https://media.ccc.de/v/35c3-9614-inside_the_amd_microcode_rom) with AMD K8 & K10 microcode and [EntrySign](https://bughunters.google.com/blog/5424842357473280/zen-and-the-art-of-microcode-hacking) [published](https://media.ccc.de/v/why2025-156-entrysign-create-your-own-x86-microcode-for-fun-and-profit) earlier this year, we took a closer look at AMD Zen 1-5 CPUs. We build on top of [Zentool](https://github.com/google/security-research/tree/master/pocs/cpus/entrysign/zentool) to understand more instructions and created a set of tools to easily create microcode patches as well as apply them on CPUs. We can modify the behavior of instructions and observe some usually not visible internal state by supplying our own microcode update.\n\nLike on K8, we extracted the physical ROM on the CPU using an electron microscope to read the hardcoded microcode on a Zen 1 CPU. Using the understanding of the microcode encoding we could then start disassembling the contents and understand how some instructions are implemented. While there are still a lot of things we don't understand, we could follow control flow and analyze algorithms like the XXTEA decryption of the microcode update.\n\nTo start off this work, we implemented a set of tools that allow easy testing of microcode updates without the need for a fully featured OS. That way we can run timing tests with low noise and don't risk data corruption if we corrupt a vital instruction. To continue our naming scheme from our work on K8 we dubbed this the AngryTools, all of them available on [GitHub](https://github.com/AngryUEFI). The core components are a UEFI application running from RAM, AngryUEFI, and a Python framework for test writing on a client computer, AngryCAT. AngryUEFI starts on the test system and waits for AngryCAT tests supplied via TCP. These tests usually consist of a microcode update that gets loaded on the target CPU core and a buffer with x64 instructions that get run afterwards. AngryUEFI then sends back information about the test execution. AngryUEFI also recovers most faults caused by invalid microcode, often even allowing reuse of a CPU core after a failed test run. We also added some syscall-like interfaces to support more complex data collection like [IBS](https://reflexive.space/zen2-ibs/).\n\nTo make it easier to write custom microcode updates we also implemented [ZenUtils](https://github.com/AngryUEFI/ZenUtils), a set of Python tools. So far we support single line assembly and disassembly based on architecture specification for Zen 1 & 2 with limited support for other Zen architectures. We also include a macro assembler that can create a full microcode update from an assembly-like input file. Later we will also extend ZenUtils with utilities to sign and en/decrypt microcode updates. Currently we rely on Zentool for these tasks.\n\nWe also show some basic examples of how microcode programs work, from a simple CString strlen implementation in a single x64 instruction to a [subleq](https://esolangs.org/wiki/Subleq) VM implemented entirely in microcode. These show off the basics of microcode programming, like memory loads & stores, arithmetic and conditional branches. We are also currently looking at other examples and more complex programs.\n\nWe hope this talk shows you how to start throwing random bits at your own AMD Zen CPU to figure out what each bit does and help us in further understanding the instruction set. We welcome improvements to the tooling and even entirely new tools to help analyze microcode updates and the ROM.\n\nIf you are already familiar with EntrySign, we only cover the very basics of it and focus more on what we learned after having a foothold in the microcode.\n", "logo": null, "persons": [ { "guid": "e8ae510d-0110-5e97-8750-c0c6583b83b1", "name": "Benjamin Kollenda", "public_name": "Benjamin Kollenda", "avatar": null, "biography": "Developer with a healthy enjoyment of the Ops side of things.

Alongside the D\u00fcrremonitor and the underlying Mesoscale Hydrological Model (MHM), there is ongoing research at the UFZ concerning soil moisture. Some of these studies involve measuring soil moisture using a technique called cosmic ray neutron sensing (CRNS). Rather than taking measurements, the MHM uses a physics-based model incorporating precipitation forecasts to predict drought or flood. These two strategies for quantifying soil moisture are therefore in opposition: the measurement-based approach (CRNS) and the modelling-based approach (MHM/D\u00fcrremonitor). CRNS is a relatively new method of measuring soil moisture based on the proportion of neutrons reflected by the soil (the principles were discovered in the 1980s, but it has only recently become commercially applicable). This method has several advantages over previous soil moisture measurement methods: it is non-invasive, easy to set up, portable and can therefore be used on trains.\n\nIn the talk I will give an overview of the D\u00fcrremonitor and MHM and then focus on CRNS.

For terrestrial applications that is. But what about going to space?\n\nQuantum physics based sensors and experiments promise higher accuracy, sensitivity or better long term stability as they rely on immutable properties of atoms. When properly manipulated, these (ultra-)cold atoms are likely to outperform state of the art instruments. Experiments conducted on sounding rockets demonstrated important steps like Bose-Einstein Condensate creation during a few minutes in microgravity, enabling more advanced quantum experiments in the future. The International Space Station and the Tiangong Space Station host dedicated experiments like ultrastable clocks as well as flexible research infrastructure for fundamental research benefitting from long free-fall times. However, the deployment of such technologies on satellites is not as advanced. Satellite missions utilizing quantum sensors or performing long term experiments are subject to studies and proposals backed by a broad scientific community aiming at better understanding of climate change, interplanetary navigation or tests of general relativity. First steps towards realization of such missions are taken by ESA, NASA and various national space agencies as well as universities funded by national agencies or the EU.\n\nThis talk will detect the current state of atoms in space and give an overview of active programs to deploy quantum sensors on operational satellite missions.

Still, if the work is put in, these digital traces offer glimpses of engagement and attention, and help us understand what users truly encountered or how the platform influenced their experiences.\r\n\r\nThe talk situates this challenge within a broader European context, showing how data access mechanisms are set up in ways that strengthen existing power imbalances. Application processes for research data vary widely, requests are rejected or delayed without clear justification, and the datasets that do arrive frequently lack the granularity required for meaningful analysis.\r\n\r\nYet the picture is not purely bleak. Citizens, researchers, and civil society already have multiple legal levers to demand greater transparency and accountability. The fundamental question is no longer whether democratic oversight is possible, but how we can use the tools at hand to make it real.", "description": "**Talk Description**\nIn this talk, we explore what happens when the European Union\u2019s data access laws meet the practical realities of platform research. The talk opens with a shared introduction, where David and LK set the stage: why social media platforms like YouTube matter for democracy and what the EU has done to make them more transparent.\n\nLK will then provide a short introduction into the legally mandated ways we can currently use to access platform data: from the GDPR\u2019s right of access, the research data access provisions in the DSA, to the portability obligations into the DMA. But access is not the same as insight, a lesson David learned the hard way. Along with his team he invited over a thousand Danes to make use of their GDPR-right to their own data and donate their YouTube watch histories, searches, subscriptions and comments. Using the DSA, the team then obtained meta-data on the millions of videos the data donors had interacted with. The goal: Seeing what the digital data traces YouTube collects from its users can tell us about the platform\u2019s effect on people\u2019s lives and society. Are the data carrying indicators of polarization, loneliness, political extremism or any of the numerous other ails of society that YouTube has been suspected to cause? However, the data are difficult to get a hold of, messy, not properly annotated, and parsing them requires an almost archeological mindset. Together, we will peek behind the Youtube curtain, shine a light on what platform data actually looks like, and sketch out what can and cannot be learned from them.\n\nAll around Europe, researchers are currently facing similar challenges, parsing cryptic user and platform data from Facebook and TikTok to porn sites and Zalando. The platforms implement the data access laws to achieve minimal compliance but not to provide meaningful transparency. Data gathered by the DSA40 Data Access Collaboratory shows that application forms vary widely, researchers are rejected for non-compliant reasons, and applications artificially stalled. Other researchers have shown that the data received through some of the APIs is incomplete and inaccurate. In short: there is a lot of space for improvement. But we do not need to wait for investigations into platform compliance to conclude.. The basic conditions for democratic oversight have been set, which means that theoretically various legal ways into the platforms exist for citizens, researchers and civil society. The question that remains is which levers to use to practically realise as much of this potential as possible.\n\n**About the Presenters**\nDavid Wegmann is a PhD student at Aarhus University, Denmark.

Now there is both massive social and economic benefit to harm and disrupt. This means that risks and threats now still include the motivated and resourced **_with the addition of_** those who are scarce in both.\n\nWe need to come together to build new organizational threat models that account for how this consequence has posed new risks to our communities.

They need ways to turn bytes into symbols, words, and meaning \u2014 to make text readable for both humans and machines. But encoding isn\u2019t just for machines. Humans also encode: we describe, structure, and translate our thoughts into text. And while the number of text formats seems endless (and keeps growing), that\u2019s not a bug \u2014 it\u2019s a feature. Diversity in encoding is how we learn what works and what doesn\u2019t.\n\nLong before ASCII tables or Unicode, text encoding already existed \u2014 in alphabets, printing presses, and typographic systems. Every technology of writing has been a way of hacking language into matter: from clay tablets to lead letters, from code pages to Markdown. Each era brings new formats and new constraints \u2014 and with them, new genres, new rules, new cultural codes. Think of poetry and protocol manuals, fairy tales and README files, the Hacker Bible itself \u2014 all shaped by the tools and conventions that carry them.\n\nSo here\u2019s the question: can we encode not only what we see, but what we mean? Can we capture a poem\u2019s rhythm, a play\u2019s voices, or the alternate endings of a story \u2014 and do it in a way that\u2019s open, remixable, and machine-readable?\n\nTurns out, yes \u2014 and the solution has existed since 1988. It\u2019s called the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), a long-running open-source standard that lets you describe the structure, semantics, and context of texts using XML. You can think of it as a humanities fork of hypertext \u2014 an extensible markup language for everything from medieval manuscripts to memes.\n\nTEI is more than a format: it\u2019s a collaborative, living standard maintained by an international community of researchers, librarians, and digital humanists. It evolves with the world \u2014 adding elements for new text types (like social media posts) and for changing cultural realities (like non-binary gender markers). It embodies open science principles and keeps publishing in the hands of its creators.\n\nYou don\u2019t need a publisher, a platform, or a big server farm. Just an XML-aware text editor, a few lines of CSS, and maybe a Git repo. From there, you can transform your encoded text into websites, PDFs, e-books \u2014 or share it directly in its raw, readable, hackable form. It\u2019s sustainable, transparent, and low-energy. It even challenges the academic prestige economy by making every individual contribution visible \u2014 from editors to annotators to script writers.\n\nIn this talk, we\u2019ll look at text as code and code as culture, from alphabets to XML, and explore how TEI can be a tool for hacking not machines but meaning itself. We\u2019ll end with a practical example: a TEI-encoded page of the first Hacker Bible \u2014 because our own history also deserves to be archived, shared, and forked.\n", "logo": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/39c3/submissions/8CVJUN/hackerbible-p40_WmYht9p_VabQ7jP.webp", "persons": [ { "guid": "c37650f7-c396-552b-83b3-cd16f450c160", "name": "Torsten Roeder", "public_name": "Torsten Roeder", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/dino_RaA5dRd.png", "biography": "Torsten Roeder works at the University of Wurzburg and is specialized on digital heritage research.

As chips became more advanced, the usage of opaque resin was used as a \"temporary\" measure to combat this flaw, by coating chips in a material that would reflect undesirable UV.\n\nPresent day opinions are that laser (or light) based hardware attacks, are something that only nation state actors are capable of doing; due to both limitations of cost in tooling as well as personnel expertise required. Currently, sophisticated hardware labs use expensive, high frequency IR beams to penetrate the resin.\n\nThis project demonstrates that with a limited budget and hacker-and-maker mentality, similar results can be obtained at a fraction of the cost, from the comfort of your home or garage. With the modifications of an opensource low-cost microscope, addition of a home-built beam splitter and interchangeable diode laser, it has been shown that consumer-grade diodes are capable of producing results similar to the high-cost variants, such as the YAG lasers.\n\nOne example of results includes introducing affordable avenues to conduct laser-based fault injection, via the usage of such budget-friendly tooling. We are opening the study of these low-level hardware attacking methodologies to more entry-level security testers, without the need for hundreds of thousands of dollars in startup capital.\n\nBy leveraging more affordable technology alternatives, we have embarked on a mission to uncover hardware malware, detect supply-chain chip replacements, and delve into the realm of laser-logic-state imaging. Our approach integrates optics, laser selection, and machine learning components.\n", "logo": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/39c3/submissions/TRGCPS/chip_LyQpGYr.png", "persons": [ { "guid": "16997d7d-42c7-5b62-bd31-541d4df0e8b4", "name": "Patch", "public_name": "Patch", "avatar": "https://cfp.cccv.de/media/avatars/9X79A9_4oOyyYa.jpg", "biography": "Larry is a Director at NetSPI responsible for leading and executing IOT/Embedded Penetration Testing and researching new security techniques to ensure the safety of embedded systems.
