<br>
I was just looking at the schedule and trying to find an evening slot<br>
once a month for the Bay Area Hacker's Assocation<br>
(<a href="http://baha.bitrot.info/" target="_blank">http://baha.bitrot.info/</a>). �We are security enthusiasts of every<br>
stripe, but mostly computer security.<br>
<br>
We will need a projector and room for perhaps 10 people.<br>
<br>
I wouldn't mind 2nd Mondays at 7pm, if we won't conflict with Circuit<br>
Hacking Mondays.<br>
<br>
Our first presentation will probably be on the under-discussed topic<br>
of physical surveillance (stakeouts). �We'll also have a workshop<br>
(probably on the weekend) where participants try their skills at<br>
following a brave volunteer (and probably me, who will observe the<br>
surveillance from the target's perspective). �Come and find out how<br>
the movies get it all wrong.<br>
<br>
Other topics I'm interested in giving:<br>
Cable modem hacking<br>
Encrypted storage<br>
Encrypted storage attacks<br>
Modern Key Management<br>
Surveillance Countermeasures<br>
Disguise<br>
Dataveillance<br>
Video surveillance, detection, and countermeasures<br>
Software Security<br>
Technical Surveillance & Countermeasures<br>
Web 2.0 Crypto<br>
<br>
I'd like to enlist some help in some of these - some ideas:<br>
<br>
1) Hardware hackers - it'd be cool to build gadgets:<br>
� Tracking beacons - modifying a depth finder to track RFID<br>
� Wearable covert communications gear<br>
� Voice activation circuits<br>
� The LED anti-video-surveillance wearables<br>
� Remote-activation circuits<br>
� - cameras<br>
� - other equipment<br>
� - footswitches for hidden in-car communication devices<br>
<br>
2) Hardware and software platforms:<br>
� Alarm systems - see <a href="http://www.subspacefield.org/security/alarm_system/" target="_blank">http://www.subspacefield.org/security/alarm_system/</a><br>
� Voice recognition software<br>
� Voice alteration software (asterisk, cell phones)<br>
� Software radio - see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Software_Radio_Peripheral" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Software_Radio_Peripheral</a><br>
� Wearable and car computers for Sousveillance:<br>
� - vuzix HUD - <a href="http://www.vuzix.com/" target="_blank">http://www.vuzix.com/</a><br>
� - face recognition - <a href="http://www.eecg.toronto.edu/~mann/" target="_blank">http://www.eecg.toronto.edu/~mann/</a><br>
� - license plate recognition<br>
<br>
3) Disguise (does anyone know someone good at this?):<br>
� Cosmetics<br>
� Wigs<br>
� Fat suits<br>
� Fake "bad teeth" (distracts from other memorable attributes)<br>
<br>
4) Concealments:<br>
� Briefcases<br>
� Books<br>
� Just about anything else<br>
<br>
If anyone is interested in any of these projects, please shoot me an email off-list.<br>
