Exploring social media reactions to conflicts in 2022
The aim of this talk is to explore public usage of social media and reactions to different hostilities in 2022 utilizing topic modeling and social network analysis.
2022 brought conflicts worldwide. The ongoing war in Ukraine, the Tigray war, the ongoing Yemeni civil war, the recent unrest and protests in Iran are just a few of them. These conflicts are different in their nature, but they are also marked by one common denominator - the employment of social media.
In this talk we will use topic modeling and social network analysis to explore public usage of social media and reactions to different hostilities. The first approach is a machine learning technique and is used to cluster, discover latent topics, and thus better understand text data. The second one is a toolset to extract nodes and edges from the specific data, in order to analyze and visualize a social network to highlight relationships.
Social media reactions are captured in tweets about the war in Ukraine, the Tigray war, the Yemeni civil war and the Iranian protests. The tweets will be scrapped for all the major dates of the conflicts' timelines, where a topic analysis will be performed afterwards. Social network analysis will be performed with an emphasis on a subset of relevant government, institutions, media and activist twitter accounts.
This talk also aims to be a brief guide on how to perform twitter scraping, basic topic modeling, as well as creating and visualizing social networks using python on your own.

Raider was created to fill a gap in current tooling for pentesting the authentication process. It abstracts the client-server information exchange as a finite state machine. Each step comprises one request with inputs, one response with outputs, arbitrary actions to do on the response, and conditional links to other stages. Thus, a graph-like structure is created. This architecture works not only for authentication purposes but can be used for any HTTP process that needs to keep track of states.

Moderne Prozessoren führen Programme mit beeindruckender Geschwindigkeit aus. Aber wie tun sie das eigentlich? Wir steigen im Rahmen dieses Vortrages vom Level der Hochsprache runter zum Assembler und schauen uns mal an, was ein Prozessorkern eigentlich genau tut, wenn er Maschinenbefehle ausführt. Wir werden dabei lernen, wie Hardwaredesigner über die Jahrzehnte der CPU beigebracht haben, pro Takt meist mehrere Befehle auszuführen und dabei Schwierigkeiten wie langsamen Speicher und ...
