Asahi Linux - Porting Linux to Apple Silicon (en)

sven

In this talk, you will learn how Apple Silicon hardware differs from regular laptops or desktops. We'll cover how we reverse engineered the hardware without staring at disassembly but by using a thin hypervisor that traces all MMIO access and then wrote Linux drivers. We'll also talk about how upstreaming to the Linux kernel works and how we've significantly decreased our downstream patches in the past year. As an example, we will use support for the Type-C ports and go into details why these are so complex and required changes across multi subsystems. In the end, we'll briefly talk about M3/M4/M5 and what challenges we will have to overcome to get these supported.

CCC&T - Cosmic ray, the Climate Catastrophe and Trains. (en)

FantasticMisterFux

How can we predict soil moisture by measuring cosmic ray products and what have trains to do with it? Ever wondered how this Dürremonitor works, that you heared about in ther german news? These question and some more I will try to answer while I give an overview of some of the research that is done by the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ).

Security of Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (en)

dilucide

Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIED), such as cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators, are a fairly niche target for security researchers, in part due to a lack of manufacturer cooperation and device accessibility. This talk aims to provide insights into the challenges in device development and methods with which to research device security. Data accessibility to patients will be touched upon.

What You Hack Is What You Mean: 35 Years of Wiring Sense into Text (en)

Torsten Roeder

Encoding isn’t just for machines — it’s how humans shape meaning. This talk traces 35 years of hacking text through the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), a community-driven, open-source standard for describing the deep structure of texts. We’ll explore how TEI turns literature, research, and even hacker lore into machine-readable, remixable data — and how it enables minimal, sustainable self-publishing without gatekeepers. From alphabets to XML and the Hacker Bible, we’ll look at text as a living system: something we can read, write, and hack together.

Laser Beams & Light Streams: Letting Hackers Go Pew Pew, Building Affordable Light-Based Hardware Security Tooling (en)

Patch, Sam. Beaumont (PANTH13R)

Stored memory in hardware has had a long history of being influenced by light, by design. For instance, as memory is represented by the series of transistors, and their physical state represents 1's and 0's, original EPROM memory could be erased via the utilization of UV light, in preparation for flashing new memory. Naturally, whilst useful, this has proven to be an avenue of opportunity to be leveraged by attackers, allowing them to selectively influence memory via a host of optical/light-based techniques. As chips became more advanced, the usage of opaque resin was used as a "temporary" measure to combat this flaw, by coating chips in a material that would reflect UV. Present day opinions are that laser (or light) based hardware attacks, are something that only nation state actors are capable of doing Currently, sophisticated hardware labs use expensive, high frequency IR beams to penetrate the resin. This project demonstrates that with a limited budget and hacker-and-maker mentality and by leveraging more inexpensive technology alternatives, we implement a tool that does laser fault injection, can detect hardware malware, detect supply chain chip replacements, and delve into the realm of laser logic state imaging.
