In this talk, we will give an introduction into the project (i.e. how it all started at 38c3 and why we are here now), provide an in-depth review of how the development process of our pager worked and what our future goals are. In our introduction, we will talk about the origin and exploration phase of the inital pager idea (i.e. how we went from the idea of bringing POCSAG Pager transmitter to 38c3, over a cable-bound prototype, to a first working pager on a proper PCB). We will also present our plans of connecting our POCSAG transmitter infrastructure to THOT (CERTs own dispatch software). For our in-depth review about the project, we explain how we encountered major reception problems, how we analyzed them at easterhegg22 and conducted experiments there, and why we are opting for a custom HF frontend design instead of an already-made one from chinese vendors. Moreover, we provide an overview of our transmitter devices and give some advice on how to replicate those. Lastly, we will discuss further challenges and what our next goals are. If we are reaching our milestone until 39c3, we will also give a live demo of the system.

This talk presents Apple's link-layer protocol Low-Latency WiFi and how it achieves its real-time capabilities to enable Continuity features like Sidecar Display and Continuity Camera. We make more kernel logging available on iOS and build a log aggregator that combines and aligns system- and network-level log sources from iOS and macOS.

Das war nicht das Jahr 2025, das wir bestellt hatten.

Why is electronics manufacturing hard? Can it ever be made easy and more accessible? What will it take to relocate industrial production to Europe? We share with you what we learned when we spent more than 1 year setting up our own production line in our office in Hamburg. Turns out a lot of the difficulties are rarely talked about or hidden behind "manufacturing is high CAPEX". Come and learn with us the nitty gritty details of batch reflow ovens, stencil printing at scale, and how OpenPnP is a key enabler in our process. While we are far from done with this work, we hope to see others replicate it and collectively reclaim the ownership of the means of electronics production.

Factorio ist ein Fabriksimulationsspiel mit integriertem Logiksystem. Dies ermöglichte mir den Bau einer CPU, die unter anderem aus einer 5-stufiger Pipeline, einer Forwarding Logikeinheit, Interrupt Handling sowie einem I/O Interface besteht. Über einen selbst geschriebenen Assembler konnte ich ein eigenes Betriebssystem und Programme wie Minesweeper oder Snake integrieren. Der Talk soll euch zeigen, wie sich klassische Computerarchitektur in einem völlig anderen technischen Kontext umsetzen lässt und wo dabei überraschend echte Probleme der CPU-Entwicklung auftreten. Kommt mit auf die Reise: Vom Blick auf den gesamten Computer bis hinunter zu den einzelnen Logikgattern ist es nur eine Mausradbewegung entfernt!

Textiles are everywhere, yet few of us know how they’re made. This talk aims to give you an overview over the complete transformation from fiber to finished textile. We'll be exploring fiber properties, spinning, and techniques like weaving, knitting, crochet, braiding, and knotting, followed by finishing methods such as dyeing, printing, and embroidery. You’ll learn why not only fiber but also structure matters, and how to make or hack textiles on your own without relying on fast fashion or industrial tools.

Wir geben Einblicke in zwei intensive Wochen Planung, Koordination und Aufbau, den Betrieb einer (improvisierten) Bodenstation, sprechen über technische Hürden, Antennendesign und Organisation – und wie wir schließlich mit Astronautin Rabea Rogge im Weltraum gefunkt haben.

The talk will be about our experience from building an open-architecture secure element from the ground up. It explains why openness became part of the security model, how it reshaped design and development workflows, and where reality pushed back — through legal constraints, third-party IP, or export controls. It walks through the secure boot chain, attestation model, firmware update flow, integration APIs, and the testing framework built for external inspection. Real examples of security evaluations by independent researchers are presented, showing what was learned from their findings and how those exchanges raised the overall security bar. The goal is to provoke discussion on how open collaboration can make hardware more verifiable, adaptable, auditable and while keeping secure.

This talk explores the internals of Overwatch which make the game work under the hood. The end goal is to democratise development of Overwatch. Being able to host your own servers and modify the game client to your liking should not be up for discussion for a game many people have paid money for.

Der Vortrag beschreibt, wie eine Gruppe von Begeisterten eine Sammlung von ca. 100 Flipperautomaten (Pinball Machines) am Leben und in spielbereitem Zustand erhält.

Auf der Insel Rügen und in Österreich tut sich was - und zwar neue Chaos Events. Wir möchten über Anforderungen, Herausforderungen, Hürden, Erfahrungen und Glücksmomente aus unserer Sicht der Orga erzählen. Das InselChaos fand im LaGrange e.V. im September 2025 statt und bildet den Auftakt für weitere kreative, informative und chaotische Events auf der Insel Rügen. Das Håck ma’s Castle wird mit etwas Humor auch über Herausforderungen sprechen, welche unter anderem durch dezentrale Teams aus diversen Hackspaces entstehen.

Aus einem Barwitz wurde ein Projekt! Blumenthal7 ist die letzte vollständig erhaltene Schachtanlage des ehemaligen Steinkohlebergwerks General Blumenthal in Recklinghausen im nördlichen Ruhrgebiet. Nach diversen Startschwierigkeiten ist aus einer im Dornröschenschlaf liegenden Industriebrache ein Projekt geworden, das bereits jetzt einer Vielzahl von Entitäten und Gruppen eine Heimat und einen großen, nahezu grenzenlosen Spielplatz bietet. Begleitet uns gerne beim Power Cycle B7…!

We are well aware of the fact, that as DJs we play other peoples´(as well as our own) music. This means we want to ensure the musicians get the credit and respect they deserve for their work. Whenever reasonably possible (communication get quite intense for us at times) we´ll be happy to supply track IDs, although sometimes it may take a little while. Also we´re happy about reposts if you like what we´re doing.

WEEBZ likes to move between the odds, the rough and the soft: Breakbeat, dissonances, noise and sounds of deep dungeons belong to their mixes as well as the hymns of our hearts Most of the time the genres are mixed to an eclectic collection mirroring own confusions in the spirit of making the unmatching matching xx
