DEF CON 25 - Peyton Engel - Learning about Government Surveillance Software

[@inquity6]

love these vids just stumbled upon defcon17 a couple days ago and watched a few 1 hour talks really enjoyed them right up my alley.

Interesting overview with educated guesses about Government Surveillance tools.

[@fsocietyircpodcast]

Trust We Know What We Are Doing Should be the first lie all children and know how to debunk.

[@laykefindley6604]

I assume that applies to the guys talking equally as well?

[@2Cerealbox]

Has there ever been a single Defcon talk without audio problems?

[@Stopinvadingmyhardware]

Funny isn’t it

[@sayamqazi]

When some people you dont have to hide anythnig if you are doing nothing wrong. By this definition we should ask the government to be completely transparent so much so that we can see every single thing they do. Since "they" would do "nothing wrong"

[@kevinowenburress2435]

I think it was as simple as ip ranges (you can block government IP addresses) and maybe they send a malformed packet to identify. (Notice hashes are wrong) not that I torrent anything. I was thinking what if we did trackers over tor and file transfers via vpn encrypted tunnel through random peers? That solves a lot of problems.

Havn't seen any DEFCON 25 videos yet somehow... I hope there are some aviation-related ones though. Working right now on finding RNAV-related security issues (area navigation) at the moment. Also there are like 200 talks last year? That's a lot seems like. :]

[@denngabri]

Wow really nice! Aerospace engineering student here, just found out about rnav. Really cool!

[@Stopinvadingmyhardware]

The Torrent network is designed to not allow complete single peer downloads. LMAO

[@GeorgeTsiros]

I doubt a "FLIR system" *has* open-source software. It's a piece of hardware. "FLIR" is the name of a measuring devices manufacturer.

[@kevinowenburress2435]

The thing is we have a right to assembly and therewith exclusion of government. (It is possible to have fiber lines run for an internal phone system that isn't a telecom provider, between company buildings or sites.) Now we have a new thing coming into Tor, which is a voip system. So we know that AI can tell with enough nodes, where a message is going, or data stream, but not what the content is, in Tor. But we can now have hidden service voice chat.

That room sounds empty

13:51 does anyone here the Nokia ringtone?

[@Stopinvadingmyhardware]

When in doubt smash the devices

[@VishalSharma-gt1hy]
