Chaos Communication Congress 27th (27C3) 2010 Abstract: The objective of the session is to provide a critical overview of "privacy research" within computer science. The mechanisms proposed in the last ten year include mechanisms for anonymous communications, censorship resistance, selective disclosure credentials (and their integration in identity management systems), as well as privacy in databases. All of these system are meant to shield the user from different aspects of on-line surveillance either through allowing a user to keep some of her data "confidential" or by allowing her to assert "control" over her data. We will illustrate using concrete examples, why some paradigms came to dominate the field, their advantages, but also their blind spots, and unfulfilled promises given the conditions of our surveillance societies. Since 2000 there has been a renewed interest amongst computer scientists in the field of ”privacy technology”. This includes mechanisms for “anonymous” communications, censorship resistance, selective disclosure credentials, as well as privacy in databases - all of which are meant to shield the user from some aspects of on-line surveillance. Beyond the lab, some of those systems have been deployed and are widely used today. Yet, the type of surveillance against which privacy technologies are supposed to offer protection is often ill-defined, and widely varying between works: from an individual who wishes “to hide an occasional purchase from his spouse”, to “groups coordinating political dissent under totalitarian regimes”. While privacy is seen as the key unifying theme of these works only one aspect of it is systematically represented, namely ”confidentiality”. Privacy as self-definition, informational self-determination or as a public good that needs to be negotiated is often neglected. Further, the increasing omni-presence of surveillance technologies, the informatisation of every day life, as well as active resistance to on-line surveillance are used as justifying departure points for privacy technologies but they have so far not been explored in depth in the privacy research field. In this talk, we explore the development of contemporary privacy technologies, its key results and methodologies. At its heart our argument is that the field of privacy technology was seeded by computer security and cryptography experts that rushed to apply their tools to new problems, yielding mixed results. Additional pressures from different stakeholders to devise technology that will make large IT systems acceptable to the public has led to further confusion about the goals and methods most appropriate to embed privacy friendly values into computer systems. Further, the recent trend has been to replace the confidentiality paradigm with what can be called the "control" paradigm. Using concrete examples, we seek to explain why some paradigms came to dominate the field, their advantages, but also their blind spots, and unfulfilled promises.

Chaos Communication Congress 27th (27C3) 2010 Abstract: 2011 will again be a crucial year in the battle against data retention and blanket surveillance. The EU Commission is planning to publish its review of the directive in December (right in time before 27C3), and the lobbying and PR battle has already begun. In six months from now, we will see the legislative proposal from the EU commission for the revision of data retention. The talk will give a full picture of the legal state of play, what is going on in Brussels, what is already being done and of course where you can help. The speakers are closely involved in the process on the European and national level. In December 2005, the European Parliament agreed to the data retention directive that introduced mandatory retention of the telecommunications behaviour of half a billion EU citizens and residents. That was a huge disappointment and perceived by many as the final opening of the floodgates. Frank Rieger and Rop Gongrijp at 22C3 even declared that "we lost the war" over privacy. But things turned out different than expected. Now, five years later, a new privacy movement has risen in Germany and elsewhere, a number of constitutional courts all across Europe have declared national data retention laws illegal, a case against the whole directive is pending at the European Court of Justice, and the EU has a justice commissioner who openly said that she would not have suggested the whole thing in the first place, and a home affairs commissioner who voted against the directive when she was still a Member of Parliament. The talk will give a full picture of the legal state of play, what is going on in Brussels, what is already being done and of course where you can help. The speakers are all active in European Digital Rights (EDRi.org) and are closely involved in the process on the European and national level.

Chaos Communication Congress 27th (27C3) 2010 Abstract: This talk will provide a summary of recently discovered methods which allow to break the Internet's privacy and anonymity. We will show, amongst others: ways of distinguishing bots from humans. We use this technique to provide crawlers with false data or lure them into tar pits. Other than CAPTCHAs we introduce methods that profile the holistic behaviour within a single web session to distinguish users or bots within a longer timeframe based on subtle charactistics in most bots' implementations. breaking filtering of JavaScript in web-based proxies. While next to all web proxies advertise the capability of filtering JavaScript, the ubiqity of XSS and CSRF attacks have proven that correct filtering of arbitrary HTML is extremly difficult. track and re-identifying users based upon their web-profile. We show how a third-party observer (e. g. proxy server or DNS server) can create a long-term profile of roaming web users using only statistical patterns mined from their web traffic. These patterns are used to track users by linking multiple surfing sessions. Our attack does not rely on cookies or other unique identifiers, but exploits chatacteristic patterns of frequently accessed hosts. We demonstrate that such statistical attacks are practicable and we will also look into basic defense strategies. traffic analysis and fingerprinting attacks on users of anonymizing networks. Even if anonymizeres like Tor are used, a local adversary can measure the volume of transfered data and timing characteristics to e. g. determine the retrieved websites. We will shortly sketch the current state of the art in traffic analysis, which has been improved significantly within the last year

Chaos Communication Congress 28th (28C3) 2011 Abstract: Meet the Netherlands: a nation filled with techno-optimists protecting our freedom by puting in place restrictions on what you can do, reducing our privacy and have technology as a solution for anything and everything. When you make a trip we store your details for two years, your airplane meal selection from two years earlier is good data to test with and when migrating the government website we keep the old website running in an unmaintained state. If you have nothing to hide nothing can go wrong and there is nothing you can do. Well not quite. What would happen if you play the system? If you would take the train and hack the card? What if you were to pick up the resistance you face and use it in your advantage. No matter what the costs would carry on? If you would take some data and show the failures? Not just once but a full month long and call that month Leaktober. What if you would publicly call the failures with our personal data? Ultimately you make a difference. You change the law, you changes the rules of the game and you really can raise the question if storing all that data is really needed. Ultimately people really start to doubt if this is the right way to go. This is a strategic and tactical story on how you can regain some privacy and data protection. Even though for a journalist this should be normal work, thanks to some people these things become very personal. It ends in criminal prosecution, legal threats, insults, a successful counter hack and ultimately a lot of benefits. But standing up for a cause does work as long as you focus on the stories you want to bring. My story is about hacking the system from the inside, overcoming fear and showing bureaucrats that hackers are people too. The talk is a lessons learnt how a few people can change a nation with hacker beliefs if they really want to. A guideline on how to make a difference by hacking the system you want to change. Where you can even make huge mistakes, but with some luck you can win a world. How you can make your critical voice be heard. Zillions of lessons learnt.

Chaos Communication Congress 28th (28C3) 2011 Abstract: A practical discussion of how potentially revolutionary, yet ethically questionable data---such as that from facebook---is currently being handled in academia. With every day that passes, the users of social media websites are providing scientists with ever-richer, larger datasets on human behavior. At the same time, machine-learning techniques allow us to exploit this data to accurately predict who these users are and how they will behave in the future. I begin this talk by outlining the need for public datasets containing rich information on individuals and their social relations. I then show how in practice, distribution and use of such datasets by academics is awkward and confused. I conclude with some consideration of how "enhancing" datasets by, for example, inferring missing or hidden data using machine learning classifiers, creates yet another ethical grey-zone.

Tor-ramdisk is an i686 uClibc-based micro Linux distribution whose only purpose is to host a Tor server in an environment that maximizes security and privacy. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. Security is enhanced by employing a monolithically compiled GRSEC/PAX patched kernel and hardened system tools. Privacy is enhanced by turning off logging at all levels so that even the Tor operator only has access to minimal information. Finally, since everything runs in ephemeral memory, no information survives a reboot, except for the Tor configuration file and the private RSA key which may be exported/imported by FTP. x86_64 version.

Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. It also enables software developers to create new communication tools with built-in privacy features. It provides the foundation for a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals to share information over public networks without compromising their privacy. Individuals can use it to keep remote Websites from tracking them and their family members. They can also use it to connect to resources such as news sites or instant messaging services that are blocked by their local Internet service providers (ISPs).

This document specifies a method for generating IPv6 Interface Identifiers to be used with IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC), such that addresses configured using this method are stable within each subnet, but the Interface Identifier changes when hosts move from one network to another. The aforementioned method is meant to be an alternative to generating Interface Identifiers based on IEEE identifiers, such that the same manageability benefits can be achieved without sacrificing the privacy of users.

Hack a Day
[dimovi] had a spare LCD monitor sitting around and thought it would be great to convert it into a “privacy” monitor. The process is simple enough for anyone comfortable with disassembling electronics. He took apart the monitor’s plastic frame, cutting out the polarized film with a utility knife. Once the film was removed, he spent [...]

Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. It also enables software developers to create new communication tools with built-in privacy features. It provides the foundation for a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals to share information over public networks without compromising their privacy. Individuals can use it to keep remote Websites from tracking them and their family members. They can also use it to connect to resources such as news sites or instant messaging services that are blocked by their local Internet service providers (ISPs).

Tor-ramdisk is an i686 uClibc-based micro Linux distribution whose only purpose is to host a Tor server in an environment that maximizes security and privacy. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. Security is enhanced by employing a monolithically compiled GRSEC/PAX patched kernel and hardened system tools. Privacy is enhanced by turning off logging at all levels so that even the Tor operator only has access to minimal information. Finally, since everything runs in ephemeral memory, no information survives a reboot, except for the Tor configuration file and the private RSA key which may be exported/imported by FTP. x86_64 version.

Hashdays 2010 Abstract: Apple's AppStore moves the burden of security management from the user to the vendor. Apple semi-automatically verifies each of the 200.000 applications and their updates. Moreover, when an application is downloaded on the iPhone, a sandboxing mechanism is supposed to prevent it from reading other applications' data. We showed at Black Hat DC 2010 that such a schema did not prevent malware from reaching the App Store and harvesting personal data. This talk will discuss the current state of iOS 4 privacy and show to what extent iOS 4 fixes the issues raised earlier this year. We will also present some findings about another possible frauds happening inside the App Store eco-system such as "App Farms", which basically consists in artificially boosting applications ratings with stolen accounts.

privacy Event:
Black Hat EU 2010 Abstract: We won the war for strong cryptography, anonymous darknets exist in the wild today, and decentralized communication networks have emerged to become reality. These strategies for communicating online were conceived of in anticipation of a dystopian future, but somehow these original efforts have fallen short of delivering us from the most pernicious threats to privacy that we're now facing. Rather than a centralized state-based database of all our communication and movements, modern threats to privacy have become something much more subtle, and perhaps all the more sinister. This talk will explore these evolving trends and discuss some interesting solutions in the works.

privacy phone Event:
Black Hat EU 2010 Abstract: Tor is a software project that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security. Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location. Unfortunately, with the new features of HTML5 and browser built-in geolocation being pushed into the Web2.0 world and on mobile phones and browser, it's becoming harder and harder to keep the users' privacy safe. This presentation will describe the problems which are arising around the use of these new technologies and how they can be (ab)used to attack Tor users. It will also describe where the development is going to protect mobile phone users privacy and let them survive their own devices.

Source Conference Boston 2010 Abstract: This presentation reviews the important legal opinions and law review articles of the past year that affect privacy as it relates to the internet and computer network operations. We will review the cases and legal commentaries on those issues that most affect your conduct and business operations. This presentation is strongly audience driven and it quickly becomes an open forum for questions and debate. This year the past key precedents have involved: work place monitoring and searches; compliance with State data breach laws and jurisdiction; employer's right to monitor their computer network systems and employees' rights; acceptable use policies; banners; user agreements; personally identifiable information and IP addresses; what is personally identifiable information; privacy and social networks; privacy rights in information turned over to a third party; theft of proprietary information and the CFAA; and, web site policies and notice.

data mining privacy Google Event:
Source Conference Boston 2010 Abstract: A lot has changed since discussions around digital privacy began. The security community won the war for strong cryptography, anonymous darknets which presumably make the eradication of information impossible have been successfully deployed, and much of the communications infrastructure has been decentralized. These strategies were carefully conceived while planning for the most dystopian visions of the future imaginable, and yet somehow they've fallen short of delivering us from the most pernicious privacy threats today. Rather than a centralized state-backed database of all our movements, modern threats to privacy have become something much more subtle, and perhaps all the more sinister.

In addition, system files, resources, and the kernel are shielded from the user's application space." This presentation will discuss iPhone privacy issues and challenge Apple's stance and assertions regarding iPhone security. The presentation will also show how a rogue application can access substantial quantities of personal data on an unmodified device and expose how it could go unnoticed in spite of AppStore tight reviews.

authorship privacy Event:
Chaos Communication Congress 26th (26C3) 2009 Abstract: Authorship recognition based on linguistics (known as Stylometry) has contributed to literary and historical breakthroughs. These successes have led to the use of these techniques in criminal investigations and prosecutions. Stylometry, however, can also be used to infringe upon the privacy of individuals who wish to publish documents anonymously. Our research demonstrates how various types of attacks can reduce the effectiveness of stylometric techniques down to the level of random guessing and worse. These results are made more significant by the fact that the experimental subjects were unfamiliar with stylometric techniques, without specialized knowledge in linguistics, and spent little time on the attacks. This talk will also examine the ways in which authorship recognition can be used to thwart privacy and anonymity and how these attacks can be used to mitigate this threat. It will also cover our current progress in establishing a large corpus of writing samples and attack data and the creation of a tool which can aid authors in preserving their privacy when publishing anonymously. This research was originally motivated by the idea of using stylometry, which is the study of authorship recognition based on linguistic style, to increase security. Could stylometry be used as an aid for verifying the identity of a user? The first step was to see how stylometry held up against adversarial attacks. We developed two attacks and found that they were devastatingly effective against various methods of stylometry. This turned our goal for the research from looking at how stylometry could increase security by verifying an identity to how attacking stylometry can increase security by helping anonymous authors maintain their privacy and protect their identity. This research presents a framework for adversarial attacks including obfuscation attacks, where a subject attempts to hide their identity and imitation attacks, where a subject attempts to frame another subject by imitating their writing style. The major contribution of this research is that it demonstrates that both attacks work very well. The obfuscation attack reduces the effectiveness of the techniques to the level of random guessing and the imitation attack succeeds with 68-91% probability depending on the stylometric technique used. This research also provides another significant contribution to the field in using human subjects to empirically validate the claim of high accuracy for current techniques (without attacks) by reproducing results for three representative stylometric methods. The talk examines the threat that stylometry can pose to anonymity, and what can be done about it. Advice is offered on how to obfuscate your writing style based on what was learned from the subjects in this study. The talk will also discuss current work to create a tool that helps authors hide their writing style. This tool will use a large corpus of existing writing and attack passages in multiple languages along with a variety of stylometric techniques based on different features and machine learning methods. A call for help is also put out to the listeners and readers of this research to participate in the creation of this corpus in multiple languages so the tool can be helpful to as many authors as possible.

privacy trust Event:
Chaos Communication Congress 26th (26C3) 2009 Abstract: Wikipedia's enormous growth during this decade, which has made it a "poster child of Web 2.0", has been enabled by its "anyone can edit" philosophy – external credentials are not required, and one still doesn't even need to set up a user account to change the content of one of the planet's most visited websites. This radical openness created unsurprising vulnerabilites (to vandalism, libel, copyright violations, introduction of bias, organized PR activities, etc.), but it is balanced by an equally radical transparency, where even minuscule actions of editors are recorded indefinitely. This talk will describe some of the structures, methods, and tools that the Wikipedia community has developed over the years to defend the project from these vulnerabilities, and to establish its internal reputation system. The main focus will be on the investigation of "sockpuppets" (multiple accounts operated by the same person), or rather their abuse. For contributions made without logging into an account, the originating IP address is recorded publicly, so topics like open proxies, TOR or geolocation became important for Wikipedians, and many of them have come to recognize certain IP ranges of certain ISPs immediately... However, the IP addresses used by logged-in editors are hidden due to privacy concerns, and can only be requested (together with additional data from the HTTP headers – user agents and XFF) by a few trusted users via the "CheckUser" function of the MediaWiki software. And on the other hand, the edit history of an account contains a wealth of public information which is analyzed in many ways by Wikipedians. I will describe several of them and relate some of these home-grown methods to results from forensic linguistics and stylometry (research fields with a long history). I will also give a brief summary of statistical concepts – and known fallacies – related to sockpuppet investigations. At the same time, these tools and techniques can reveal a lot of sensitive information (I will give concrete examples), and highlight the privacy issues that Wikipedia's transparency creates for its contributors.
