Pyrotechnik – ist doch kein Verbrechen!?

Feuerwerk erregt die Gemüter - und das seit mehreren hundert Jahren. Gemeinsam beleuchten wir technische, kulturelle und gesellschaftspolitische Aspekte eines der faszinierenderen und gleichermaßen umstritteneren Phänomene unserer Zeit. **Hinweis:** Während des Vortrags kommt es zu Blitzen und Knallen.
Während des 38C3 entfaltet sich in Politik und Medien ein jährlich wiederkehrendes Ritual: Die Böllerdebatte. „Der Fortschritt ruft! Der Kohlenstoff hat abgedankt, die Zeit ist fürs Silizium reif!“, so schallt es aus den Reihen der Puritaner und Feuerwerksgegner. Doch was ist Feuerwerk überhaupt? Wie funktioniert es? Und ist nicht im Recht, wer das Verschwinden des stinkenden Geknalles fordert? Wir behaupten: das Feuerwerk mitsamt seiner Geschichte und Gegenwart hält noch ein paar spannende Einsichten für uns und unsere Zeit parat. Mit dem Talk werfen wir einen Blick hinter die Kulissen und tauchen tief in Technik und Diskurs der explosiven Materie ein. In einem unterhaltsamen Kurztrip beleuchten wir verschiedene Dimensionen eines vielschichtiges Phänomens - praktisch, technisch, historisch, juristisch, politisch - und nerdig.

Many developers know that the answer to "How do I debug this microcontroller" is either "JTAG" or "SWD". But what does that mean, exactly? How do you get from "Wiggling wires" to "Programming a chip" and "Halting on breakpoints"? This talk will cover how common debug protocols work starting from signals on physical wires, cover common mechanisms for managing embedded processors, and ending up at talking to various common microcontrollers.

The 530 tons and 63 meter tall Ariane 6 rocket finally launched on July 9th 2024 carrying our open-source developed payloads – the SIDLOC experiment and the satellite Curium One – into space. SIDLOC tested a new, open, low-power standard for identifying and precisely locating spacecraft whilst our satellite Curium One established an open-source baseline for larger CubeSat systems and allowed us to test a bunch of new technologies. From sourcing a launch opportunity to the final integration ...

Recent breakthroughs in machine learning have dramatically heightened the demand for cutting-edge computing chips, driving advancements in semiconductor technologies. At the forefront of this progress is Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography—a transformative method in microchip fabrication that enables the creation of ultra-small, high-performance devices. However, the path from raw materials to these state-of-the-art chips navigates a complex global supply chain riddled with technical ...

Custom silicon chips are black boxes that hold many secrets, like internal ROMs, security features and audio DSP algorithms. How does one start reverse engineer them? Let's look at the basics of silicon reverse engineering, what gate array chips are, and how some tooling can generate Verilog code automatically from a die shot.
