three years, a replacement

deployed at a very large scale.
Gerrit Hiddink will introduce
this protocol.
Virtual Communities

The net and political
campaigning
The net is a powerful political
medium and as such a subject of
political struggle. The internet
is a very good medium for
campaigning, actions and protest
voices. Contrast.org was created
to stimulate these voices. It's

have invited several people to

Van Eck demonstration
Monitors radiate the video
signal they are displaying. This
radiation can be picked up using
20:00 an antenna and then displayed at
another monitor. Prof. Erhard
Moeller of the Fachhochschule
Aachen in Germany will
demonstrate this.
Practical PGP attacks Virtual Communities
Joel McNamara, the author of The Workshop
Private Idaho, a freeware,
Windows PGP and anonymous
remailer shell, will talk about
Practical PGP Attacks. This
21:00 presentation discusses practical
attacks an opponent may use to
compromise PGP. These methods
are typically much more
efficient and cost effective
than CPU-intensive cracking
attempts. Vulnerabilities such
as swap file access, trojan
horse versions of PGP and
shells, keyboard monitoring,
brute forcing, and key theft
viruses are explored.
Countermeasures are suggested
for enhancing security.
22:00 Afterwards, Gary Howland will
discuss some known PGP security
weaknesses involving KeyID,
fingerprint and talk about
dictionary attacks on the
passphrase.

10:00
Cryptography overview
PGP is a very popular
tool for encryption and
signing with number-
theoretical methods like
RSA or ElGamal. But
there are more powerful
applications of these
and other algorithms,
developed since the
revival of cryptology in
1976:
* blind signatures,
electronic coins
* authentification,
the Kerberos system
* anonymous
communication
through MIXes
* electronic votes
* calls for tenders
via net
* playing poker via
net without getting
cheated
* authentification
without
transferring any
information:
zero-knowledge
* exchanging
information
simultaniously
* sharing secrets
* quantum cryptology
This talk by Nils
Toedtmann will introduce
these applications, the
used protocols and
algorithms, including a
discussion of their
(in)security.
11:00
Legal Hacking
Paul Samwel and Willem
Scheeres of Moret Ernst
& Young EDP Audit will
explain the pros and
cons of Legal Hacking or
Penetration testing.
* Explanation on why
companies want
these kind of tests
* Benefits from legal
hacking
* Relationships and
differences between
legal- and illegal
hacking
* Releationships and
differences between
legal hacking and
auditing
* How these kind of
tests are performed
* Experiences from
previous tests.
Java Security
Kickin' Java in the Beans
Bastiaan Bakker talks about
JAVA security
12:00
Active X
Andy Mueller-Maguhn and
Lutz Donnerhacke of the
Chaos Computer Club show
the vulnerabilities of
Microsoft's Active X
technology.
13:00
The Net Strikes Back
Karin Spaink describes
the history of the
battle of the Church of
Scientology vs.
civilisation and updates
us on the latest
developments in
Scientology's campaign
to discredit her and
others.
WWCN - The ins and outs of
the protocol
The World Wide Conferencing
Protocol makes use of a
proprietary multicasting
service on top of TCP/IP.
This may look as a rather
peculiar (say: weird) choice.
In this presentation, a
rationale for this decision
is given, as well as an
overview of the way the
multicasting protocol works.
Also, attention is paid to
two distributed auxiliary
services: the Channel
Directory Service and the
User Directory Service. Due
to these distributed
services, the protocol is
truly capable of scaling up
to millions of users and tens
of thousands of servers
without using excess
bandwidth or server memory.
14:00
Sociology of the spammer
Marie-Jose Klaver tries
to understand the
spammer mind.
The Nijntje Gang
Peter van Dijk discusses the
technical backgrounds of a
famous hack that made the
media in Holland.
15:00 Semafun
Rop Gonggrijp and The
Key helped develop
Hack-Tic's Semafun, a
pager signal (POCSAG)
decoder that helped show
the media how insecure
paging data really is.
Several years later,
Semafun showed up again
in the press, as The Key
gets arrested and held
in jail for month. The
dutch police even claim
that The Key is part of
an organised crime ring.
What's going on here?
Closed Networks
Klaus Theiss will discuss the
problems networks such as CL
and APC have to maintain
their closed structure. Are
closed networks useful when
there is UseNet? What about
SPAM and censorship?
16:00
Smartcard security
Piet Maclaine Pont works
for IBM Nederland and
will speak a titre
personel on the security
of modern smartcards in
Internet applications.
IT's future: transforming
governing, economy and
education
At the end of the 20th
century we transform human
culture and activity on a
global scale. The development
of IT is often seen as the
cause of these large
developments. It makes
discussion move between IT as
the harbinger of bad news and
IT as the basic force for the
utopia. But the changes are
far wider and deeper than
that and cannot be attributed
to technology alone. But
technology catalyzes the
changes: how will IT change
government, education and
economy? Are the new models
of development such as the
Internet and the powerful
contribution of hackers a
view on the new way of
organizing human activity?
Are we hacking the future and
who makes the rules?
Bert Mulder has a background
in psychology, was head of
the information department of
Hollands largest broadcasting
organization Veronica,
independant consultant for
strategic use of media and
information systems in
business, government,
education and culture. He is
currently the information
advisor of the dutch
parliament.
17:00
RADIKAL
The german government
has banned a political
magazine called Radikal
and labelled it a
"terrorist publikation".
It's availability on the
Internet and the
subsequent government
pressure on providers to
block access to the
radikal web page and all
other pages on the
XS4ALL server has
sparked heated debate in
and outside of german
borders. Sabine Helmers
is a german Internet
researcher and together
with Andy Mueller-Maguhn
she'll update you on
what happened, why it
happened, and what's
likely to happen next.
Searching for the digital
truth
The Forensic Science
Laboratory (FSL) in the
Netherlands is part of the
Ministry of Justice and
investigates evidence for
Justice and Police. At this
moment the FSL has 16
specialist departments of
which the department of
Forensic Computerscience is
the newest and the largest.
The department has a total of
21 computer experts who are
investigating hardware,
software and
(data)communications in seven
different labs. Dr. Hans
Henseler, head of the
department will give an
overview.

Anonymous Mailbox
Servers
Lucky Green will present
a new technology that
provides a reliable way
of receiving untraceable
email under a persistent
pseudonym. A combination
of mail processing
servers and multi-
jurisdictionally
deployed mailbox servers
protects the privacy of
the users from both
corrupted operators and
malicious third parties.
No subpoenable database
matching pseudonyms to
"true names" exists.
Security does not depend
on secrecy.

Brian Oblivion, Weld
Pond, Kingpin, Mudge,
Space Rogue, Tan, and
Stefan. This,
incidentally, is the
ENTIRE L0pht lineup all
in one place at one
time! They will be
talking about recent
projects and
accomplishments, not the
least of which will be
their adventures with
Windows NT and why
Microsoft would like to
see them shot. Look for
some new projects to be
introduced and for a
discussion of emerging
trends and shortcomings
in the technologies that
are backing them. This
will be followed by a
Q/A session.
Perl as a hacker tool
A short demonstration by Gary
Howland to promote the use of
the PERL language for
developing security related
applications.
------------------------------
Proxy for Privacy
Gary Howland will discuss a
modular proxy written in JAVA
to run on your own PC that
will protect your privacy by
blocking cookies, maintaining
username-password
combinations for remote sites
and mess up the referrer and
other unnecessary fields on
outgoing WWW requests.
22:00
Cryptography:
opportunities, threats
and implementations
Bruce Schneier
From encryption to
digital signatures to
electronic commerce to
secure voting -
cryptography has become
the enabling technology
that allows us to take
existing business and
social constructs and
move them to computer
networks. But a lot of
cryptography is bad, and
the problem with bad
cryptography is that it
looks just like good
cryptography; most
people cannot tell the
difference. Security is
a chain: only as strong
as the weakest link. In
this talk Bruce will
take a look at the
future of cryptography:
the needs, the threats,
the limits of
technology, and the
promise of the future.
