Re: CCC: Monochrom, hackers and art (plus other videos and presentations)

[endrazine <endrazine () gmail com>]

Hi dear list,

<usual politeness>
Happy new year, etc... ;)
</usual politness>

I have apparently not attended any talk (besides those on RFID) Gadi did...

Technically speaking, the best talks I have seen (security wise) were :

* Unusual bugs by Ilja :
    http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1456.en.html

* An amazing one man show by Dan Kaminsky ;) :
    http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/events/1713.en.html

* the 3 RFID hacking talks on day 2 :
    http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Fahrplan/day_2.en.html
    The talk by Melanie Rieback was very instructive in spite of some 
very discutable commercial propaganda (imho).

Joanna's talk was also refreshing for non technical reasons ;p


Regards,

endrazine-


PS: Tonnerre's lecture was also interesting for anyone involved with 
open source development.
PPS: Thx to ppl who spent time socializing a bit, I had a great time 
sharing ideas with you :)
