Since the last time, we were all at camp, several significant changes have happened within the Tor network ecosystem, both technically and socially. In this presentation, we will review some exciting recent updates to the Tor network and look into the world of bad relay tracking, general network health observations, and the situation where multiple extensive Denial of Service attacks have caused a slowdown of the overall network performance.
We wish to guide the audience through a number of new technologies that have been added to the network. These innovations include a modern congestion control mechanism, our multi-path circuit feature, Conflux, and a Proof-of-Work (PoW) mechanism to help against Onion Services attacks. Additionally, we will discuss some upcoming changes to the current C Tor code base and our journey towards a Rust Tor relay implementation as part of our Arti re-implementation of Tor. Finally, in addition to the technology modifications, we also would like to talk about some of the social developments happening with the network, amongst others, a new mechanism for handling incoming technical and social proposals from the greater Tor community.

In this 2h workshop, I will teach you to work with the tiny components that modern electronic devices are made of. We will assemble an electronic kitten, that purrs when touched correctly, and hisses when touched wrong. It will work, and is guaranteed to remove your fear of hand-assembling surface mount designs.

The session proposes a quick overview of Frida, a dynamic instrumentation framework, and how it can be used to enhance our work during the runtime analysis of a mobile application. It will be a walkthrough on how hooking and rewriting functions in runtime may be helpful against anti-reverse engineering measures and SSL pinning mechanisms.

Hardware FIDO U2F tokens are security devices which are meant to defend user second factor keys from physical and remote attacks. In this presentation different security features and implemented by FIDO U2F tokens and how they are meant to protect a user from various attack scenarios. We will focus on the open source implementation of FIDO U2F token developed and Common Criteria certified by Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). Having access not only to the source code of the token ...

This talk will show you how many interfaces have to communicate in order to fly experiments on a sounding rocket. We will give you insights into the procedures and the complexity of a research campaign and the actual flight of the rocket itself. In particular, we look at the hardware and software used in the Ground Support Equipment (GSE) and the Service Module (SM) within the rocket.
