16bit:wolf

16bit:wolf is an imaginary band from an alternate universe. In this universe, the anthropologist R. traveled from the year 2107 to a contemporary Berlin. You can find her full story at ulteriorflux.com
R. is making music with a befriended A.I. named mosiva. This project is recreating their band 16bit:wolf. I am using diverse methods of machine learning; GPT2, generative adversarial networks, and so on to imagine that band and drag them into existence. Since the technology for a generalized A.I. (like in science fiction movies) does not exist yet, I am using narrow, specialized machine learning algorithms, bit and pieces of programming from all over the place, to create audio and visuals. This is a collaboration between machine input and curated decisions, navigating input and output, and connecting it to a coherent piece. I feed the algorithms with my text, music, voice, and image to enable it to generate and produce its own version. From there I chose suitable fragments and turn them into audiovisual animations. I use projects from github, google, openAI, and others and try to find their breaking points: where machine learning meets its limits. Here I can find a tangible connection, a true collaboration between me, the machines, and the synchronicity within. We produce content and shape each other's ideas. This is our documentation.

r3s - RemoteRheinRuhr Talk

r3s - Monheim/Rhein
With approaches dating back to the 20th century, the idea of a TPM is simple: An isolated, constrained environment to offload trust establishment in a larger computing environment. That implies cryptography, firmware, hardware, and per application, different requirements. This talk elaborates on how the seemingly simple concept has been expanded over the years, enumerating implementations in hardware, firmware, other layers of software, and even web browsers, explaining why it is in fact far ...

In den letzten Wochen der scheidenden Bundesregierung erhielt der Sprecher eine Mail von der Open Knowledge Foundation https://okfn.de/en/ über seine Meinung zur Open Source Sicherheit. Daraufhin erstellte er er eine Studie zum Thema Sicherheit von Open Source Projekten. Vier Projekte dienten als Beispiele und deren Hauptakteur:innen wurden befragt. Darunter "the random programmer from Nebraska" https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2347:_Dependency Ariadne Connill ...

Tokens are a powerful way of controlling the access to to Rest APIs. Chasing them should be hard. Unfortunately, there is a widespread habit of leaving tokens lying around allowing very powerful attack vectors. An attack demonstrates how to hack an OpenShift cluster, which is fully securty compliant to the accepted standards of NIST and CIS. Hijacking a container gives full control to the cluster, including host access. If running in the cloud, the cluster can be used for further attacks, ...
