Hack a Day
[Chris Suprock] is interested in using technology to improve your accuracy with a firearm. To that end, he’s using an Accelerometer mounted to a gun to gather feedback about each shot. The hardware setup is pretty simple. We don’t have specific details, but it looks like he’s using a QFN accelerometer chip like you would [...]

Whether or not you love Star Trek we’d bet you know what a Tricorder is. The handheld device capable of gathering information about the environment around you, or taking health diagnostics about an injured crew member, seemed like unfathomably advanced technology when first seen on the original television series. But our technology has advance so [...]

Chaos Communication Congress 28th (28C3) 2011 Abstract: In many social situations being hearing impaired is a serious handicap, not only for elderly people. Today's hearing aids are tiny computers that do a decent job in signal processing. During the last years, the progress in this technology was significant, amongst other things by switching from analog to digital devices. Since this field becomes more and more related to computer technology, there is even more improvement to be expected. In particular, it turns into a more and more interesting playground for hackers. Unfortunately, we are still quite far away from what was promised as the future in that 70es TV series "The Bionic Woman" [1]. Starting with a brief introduction about audiology, I will present current technical solutions (and political non-solutions) for hearing aids. Besides the hearing aids themselves, there exist a couple of interesting peripheral solutions for specific situations such as using the phone, listening to concerts and talks, or just consuming music with an mp3 player. All these not only enhance the user's life, they also open the door for creative hacks. Although the hearing-aid hacking community is still rather small, I will present some current projects and ideas for future ones.

Chaos Communication Congress 28th (28C3) 2011 Abstract: While it's old news that authoritarian regimes regularly rely on censorship and surveillance technology supplied to them by Western companies, 2011 was a year (thanks, in part, to the Arab Spring) when it became a hot issue in the public debate. While politicians on both sides of the Atlantic have recently committed to ban the sale of such technologies to dictators, it's not clear whether such measures would prove effective (or merely drive the sale of such technologies underground) or simply stimulate the growth of Chinese, Russian and Indian companies. More disturbingly, there is still very little awareness – at least among the general public – that many of the tools that are currently exported to authoritarian states have been designed to help fight "The Global War On Terror" and are thus inextricably linked to domestic policies of Western states. This keynote talk will provide an overview of companies and technologies involved (with a focus on the Middle East and former Soviet Union), trace the evolution of dictators' strategies, speculate on the future of trade in surveillance and censorship tools, and address the shortcomings in the "containment" strategies put together by the US and EU.

3D display technology is fairly limited. Most 3D displays out there rely on either prisms refracting light from a normal flat-panel display, or shooting lasers into some sort of space-filling device. A few researchers in Japan went with a more unconventional method of making a 3D display that actually lives up to the promises of [...]

[Adam Ben-Dror] recently tipped us off to a project that he worked on recently. In this build he gutted an old candlestick-style phone and added modern technology to make it work as a cordless phone. We really liked this project because he married together new and old technology into an elegant package. There are a [...]

Push-wheel switches are somewhat older technology, but [John Boxall] from the Little Bird Electronics blog shows us that they are still quite useful today. In a quick but thorough demonstration, he discusses how this input technology works, showing off both single digit and multi digit inputs. The former is pretty straightforward, with each of the [...]

Pick and place machines are marvels of modern technology. They the can lift, orient, align and drop tiny electronic components onto a circuit board that is headed for the reflow oven. On an industrial scale they move so fast it’s a blur in front of your eyes, and they use imaging to ensure proper placement. [...]

After having his mints disappear for quite some time [Quinn Dunki] came up with an idea to get back a the fresh-breath thieves. A bit of circuit design, parts scavenging, and free-form construction led to the creation of his mint-tin burglar system. Here’s how it works. Flip the on/off switch in the base of the [...]

I will be moderating this panel at IT Expo in Miami on February 3rd at 9:00 am:
Mobility is taking the enterprise space by storm – everyone is toting a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or one of each. It’s all about what device happens to be tIn today’s distributed workforce environment, it’s essential to be able to communicate to employees and customers across the globe both efficiently and effectively. Prior to today, doing so was far more easily said than done because, not only was the technology not in place, but video wasn’t accepted as a form of business communication. Now that video has burst onto the scene by way of Apple’s Facetime, Skype and Gmail video chat, consumers are far more likely to pick video over voice – both in their home and at their workplaces. But, though demand has never been higher, enterprise networks still experience a slow-down when employees attempt to access video streams from the public Internet because the implementation of IP video is not provisioned properly. This session will provide an overview of the main deployment considerations so that IP video can be successfully deployed inside or outside the corporate firewall, without impacting the performance of the network, as well as how networks need to adapt to accommodate widespread desktop video deployments. It will also expose the latest in video compression technology in order to elucidate the relationship between video quality, bandwidth, and storage. With the technology in place, an enterprise can efficiently leverage video communication to lower costs and increase collaboration.
The panelists are:
- Mike Benson, Regional Vice President, VBrick Systems
- Anatoli Levine, Sr. Director, Product Management, RADVISION Inc.
- Matt Collier, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, LifeSize
VBrick claims to be the leader in video streaming for enterprises. Radvision and LifeSize (a subsidiary of Logitech) are oriented towards video conferencing rather than streaming. It will be interesting to get their respective takes on bandwidth constraints on the WLAN and the access link, and what other impairments are important.

network intelligence information operation phone Event:
Chaos Communication Congress 26th (26C3) 2009 Abstract: "Intelligence Support Systems" stand for a wide range of hard- and softwareproducts made to intercept and analyze data from telecommunication- and other datastreams as well as data from surveillance technology. The talk will give a brief overview of how this industry works, to whom these products are available and what the capabilities are. A whole industry has been growing providing systems to intercept and analyse data from various sources - serving governments and other interested parties to improve surveillance on the subjects of interests formerly known as citizens. This technology does not only change the way governments work, it´s implications for our rights on informational self-determination are fundamental. It does not only allow to analyse and graphically view human behaviour, but also the behavioural changes in the context of interactions and events. In this talk i do not only want to give an overview on the tools of intelligence support, but also raise the question what kinds of escape and protection from this type of democracy-killing technology is possible.

Chaos Communication Congress 26th (26C3) 2009 Abstract: The lecture will explore hacker ideology as a utopian idea. Drawing on utopian theory and technology assessment, it will investigate within which terms hacking can be acknowledge as a utopia, what might be missing for a full-blown societal vision and - most importantly - how technology could actually help to realize utopian ideas (and how not). Hackers seem to have a vision of the future. It is accessibly engraved in the principles known as the hacker ethic: free and equal access to technology and information, decentralization, privacy, liberty, autonomy of the individual, free learning and education. These are some pillars easily extracted from the hacker values. But do these suffice for a full-blown utopia, a comprehensive societal vision? What of the other aspects of life? How should the economy be dealt with? Or which form of government would suit the hackers’ principles and our ways of life? Can some answers to these questions be determined or at least others ruled out? Should they? And most importantly: Can – as many hackers seem to believe – technology realize utopian ideas? The internet as a technological utopia, realizing new degrees in the freedom and equality of information, seems to have failed, considering the digital divide and the advent of censorship. Was that probably in part due to the lack of a utopian theory behind the technology? My talk will aim at these questions. I will state that due to the history of computing, hacking can in fact be understood as an involuntary partial utopia, capable of a few things to which it has actually contributed a lot by means of technology, while not capable of others. This relates to my late research and a model of a utopian, co-evolutionary development cycle of technology and society. I will also be able highlight which kinds of elements might in principle be needed to render hacking from an involuntary and only partly effective, loose set of futuristic ideas into a voluntary and effective vision.
