10 years of Dieselgate (en)

Felix Domke, Karsten Burger

Let's have a (hopefully) final look at Diesel emission cheating. This technical talk summarizes what I learned by reverse-engineering dozens of engine ECU software, how I found and characterized "interesting logic" which, more often than not, ended up being a court-approved "defeat device". What started as a "curious investigation" in 2015 to obtain a ground truth to widespread media reports of "VW being caught for cheating" ended up as a full-blown journey through the then-current state of the Diesel car industry. In this talk, Karsten and Felix will walk through the different implementation of defeat devices, their impact on emissions, and the challenges in documenting seemingly black boxes in court-proven expert reports.

Build a Fake Phone, Find Real Bugs: Qualcomm GPU Emulation and Fuzzing with LibAFL QEMU (en)

Romain Malmain

Mobile phones are central to everyday life: we communicate, entertain ourselves, and keep vast swaths of our digital lives on them. That ubiquity makes high-risk groups such as journalists, activists, and dissidents prime targets for sophisticated spyware that exploits device vulnerabilities. On Android devices, GPU drivers have repeatedly served as the final escalation vector into the kernel. To study and mitigate that risk, we undertook a research project to virtualize the Qualcomm Android kernel and the KGSL graphics driver from scratch in QEMU. This new environment enables deep debugging, efficient coverage collection, and large-scale fuzzing across server farms, instead of relying on a handful of preproduction devices. This talk will highlight the technical aspects of our research, starting with the steps required to boot the Qualcomm mobile kernel in QEMU, all the way up to the partial emulation of the GPU. Then, we will present how we moved from our emulation prototype to a full-fledged fuzzer based on LibAFL QEMU.

Netzpolitik in der Schweiz: Zwischen Bodensee und Matterhorn (de)

Kire, Rahel

Auch in der Schweizer Netzpolitik ging es im auslaufenden Jahr drunter und drüber. Wir blicken mit gewohntem Schalk auf das netzpolitische Jahr 2025 zwischen Bodensee und Matterhorn zurück - und diskutieren jene Themen, die relevant waren und relevant bleiben.

The Angry Path to Zen: AMD Zen Microcode Tools and Insights (en)

Benjamin Kollenda

EntrySign opened the door to custom microcode on AMD Zen CPUs earlier this year. Using a weakness in the signature verification we can load custom microcode updates and modify behavior of stock AMD Zen 1-5 CPUs. While AMD has released patches to address this weakness on some CPUs, we can still use unpatched systems for our analysis. In this talk we cover what we found out about microcode, what we saw in the microcode ROM, the tooling we build, how we worked to find out more and how you can write & test your own microcode on your own AMD Zen systems. We have our tools up on https://github.com/AngryUEFI for everyone to play around with and hopefully help us understand microcode more than we currently do.

The Spectrum - Hackspace Beyond Hacking (en)

sjaelv, MultisampledNight

The Spectrum is a newly founded queer-feminist, intersectional hackspace centering FLINTA+, disabled, and marginalized beings. We see hacking as playful exploration—of technology, art, and ideas—to reimagine what inclusion and collaboration can be. At 39C3, we share how awareness, accessibility, and transdisciplinary creation can transform community and hack the norm.

HolleLang (en)

HolleLang

HolleLang has been supplying the dance floor with his ever evolving personal blend of Dub infected Techno, rooted both in House and flashing Rave music alike. A seasoned vinyl dj HolleLang does not overestimate the medium but focuses on the music and atmosphere. No punishing jockey from the dark side, his sets are known to vibrate with well wishing force and sometimes fierce intensity though while keeping a good sexy groove going. Former resident of well received "No f**ing Day Can Destroy My Love" party series, and long running host of Gumbo Frisst Schmidt/Nachtschleifer radio live broadcast on Hamburg‘s decades old independent station FSK, HolleLang unites both ceremonial dj talent and activist attitude to serve the community. He loves music so much, especially house music ❤️ Look at https://soundcloud.com/hollelang.
