phone Event:
Chaos Communication Camp 2011 Abstract: The most ubiquitous device on the planet is arguably the mobile phone. Tragically, it is also a device built under some of the worst living and working conditions in the world. This is the story of a mission - To build the world's first ethical phone. The most ubiquitous device on the planet is arguably the mobile phone. We use them, we need them, we get new ones every few years. Our old phones are either in a drawer, a landfill, or in the hands of those people in places like China and Brazil where old electronics are broken down or repurposed. Meanwhile in many parts of one of the most troubled nations in the world, the minerals that make are new phones are being mined under some very questionable circumstances. From some of the worst labor conditions in the world comes the cobalt and other essential minerals that will one day be your iphone. -- Is this how it simply has to be? -- A group in the Netherlands has embarked on an ambitious, risky, and little known quest - To build the world's first ethical phone. Are where did they start? In the Congo of course...

Hack a Day
The Raspberry Pi was launched nearly a month ago, but these wonderful cheap single-board computers are still on their way from China to the workbenches of hackers and builders around the globe. Although they haven’t shipped yet, plenty of people are chomping at the bit to do something useful with the Raspi. [Nicholas] figured he [...]

Tor privacy Event:
Chaos Communication Congress 28th (28C3) 2011 Abstract: Iran blocked Tor handshakes using Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) in January 2011 and September 2011. Bluecoat tested out a Tor handshake filter in Syria in June 2011. China has been harvesting and blocking IP addresses for both public Tor relays and private Tor bridges for years. Roger Dingledine and Jacob Appelbaum will talk about how exactly these governments are doing the blocking, both in terms of what signatures they filter in Tor (and how we've gotten around the blocking in each case), and what technologies they use to deploy the filters -- including the use of Western technology to operate the surveillance and censorship infrastructure in Tunisia (Smartfilter), Syria (Bluecoat), and other countries. We'll cover what we've learned about the mindset of the censor operators (who in many cases don't want to block Tor because they use it!), and how we can measure and track the wide-scale censorship in these countries. Last, we'll explain Tor's development plans to get ahead of the address harvesting and handshake DPI arms races.

hardware hacking microcontroller Event:
Chaos Communication Congress 28th (28C3) 2011 Abstract: Now you've got that r0ket thing. What to do with it? If you have a r0ket, bring it to our talk! We will try to play a game of pong with every participant. You need the l0dable r_game to join the fun :) As we won't be using cryptokeys, you'll need the new 28c3 firmware so the l0dable will run and everything else works. For CCCamp 2011 we designed r0ket with team r0ket. Besides being a shiny electronic name tag, the r0ket is an easy to use full featured microcontroller development board. 3000 r0kets were given to the participants, to be creative. At Camp we already told you about the journey to getting everything ready. In r0ket++ we will tell you what happened since camp and what we learned from moving the whole production of r0ket to China. You will get more information about writing your own software for r0ket. And finally you will find out, what your r0ket does at 28c3: Besides using r0ket as a rem0te, you can participate in an openBeacon based tracking.

Hack a Day
Boeng and the US military found some systems on new P-8 Posiedons to be defective. The culprit: counterfeit electronics. These are scrap parts from 80s-90s electronics that have been re-branded and sold to the government as new. Many of the parts have been linked to dealers in China, but the Chinese government feels no need [...]

exploiting Event:
Black Hat USA 2010 Abstract: China has become a major player in the security community in recent years. From numerous news articles regarding government, military and commercial spying, to high profile cases such as the recent attack on Google, the tools, research and hacking groups coming out of China are are high on everyone's radar. This talk will provide an analysis of the Chinese hacking community, including its capabilities, goals, and cultural differences as well as similarities. A deep technical analysis and reverse engineering of prominent Chinese tools and techniques will be provided as well. We will highlight specifics such as binary obfuscators, encryption, and specific stealth techniques in order to round out an, up til now, spotty picture about this formidible member of the security community.

Hack a Day
Many westerners visiting or living in China may observe the art of “water calligraphy” and some may even try to imitate it. However, media artist [Nicholas Hanna] decided to take a totally new approach and make his own water painting machine. Someone less creative would have devised some imitation of a human, but [Nicholas] decided [...]

[jethomson] sent in a build he’s been working on that turns an inexpensive AVR programmer into a development board. The build is based on the very affordable USBasp programmer that’s based on an ATmega8. With hundreds of these boards available from China for less than a Hamilton, we’re wondering how soon it will be before [...]

Hack a Day
Hackaday reader [svofski] sent in a fantastic looking hard drive-based POV clock (Google Translation) created by a maker in the Sichuan province of China. The clock, like the one [svofski] built, relies on LEDs placed behind the spinning platter to create the POV effect. Quite a few carefully placed cuts have been made to the platter, [...]

A while ago when he was working in China, [Phillip Torrone] started learning Mandarin Chinese in order to help him communicate more efficiently with his peers. Unfortunately, once he returned to the US, he slowly started forgetting most of what he had learned. He recently wrote a piece over at Make: explaining why he’s attempting [...]

They came in two different flavors, one made for indoor and one for outdoor displays, sporting a 64×32 and 32×16 resolution, respectively. If [...]

We here at Hackaday have been pining over these cheap laser cutters on the e-bay. They are, however, just outside of the price range to make them worth ponying up for. [Stephen Hobley] however seems to have taken one for the team in his three part series, and is allowing us to live vicariously through [...]

Packet Storm Security Recent Files
Technical Cyber Security Alert 2010-55A - Malicious activity detected in mid-December targeted at least 20 organizations representing multiple industries including chemical, finance, information technology, and media. Investigation into this activity revealed that third parties routinely accessed the personal email accounts of dozens of users based in the United States, China, and Europe. Further analysis revealed these users were victims of previous phishing scams through which threat actors successfully gained access to their email accounts.

Tor privacy Event:
Chaos Communication Congress 26th (26C3) 2009 Abstract: Tor was originally designed as a civil liberties tool for people in the West. But if governments can block connections *to* the Tor network, who cares that it provides great anonymity? A few years ago we started adapting Tor to be more robust in countries like China. We streamlined its network communications to look more like ordinary SSL, and we introduced "bridge relays" that are harder for an attacker to find and block than Tor's public relays. In the aftermath of the Iranian elections in June, and then the late September blockings in China, we've learned a lot about how circumvention tools work in reality for activists in tough situations. I'll give an overview of the Tor architecture, and summarize the variety of people who use it and what security it provides. Then we'll focus on the use of tools like Tor in countries like Iran and China: why anonymity is important for circumvention, why transparency in design and operation is critical for trust, the role of popular media in helping – and harming – the effectiveness of the tools, and tradeoffs between usability and security. After describing Tor's strategy for secure circumvention (what we thought would work), I'll talk about how the arms race actually seems to be going in practice.
