Outside of work, Marcel enjoys solving CTF challenges and captured flags with FAUST, Shellphish, p0lygl0ts, and the 0rganizers.

Hi! I do systems security research at CISPA under Thorsten Holz, where my main focus is... well, I'm not really sure, but it's something to do with making testing better by using the tools we have available better. I care deeply about repeatability, reliability, and usability of scientific findings, especially in software testing where we have effectively no excuse to not distribute and share the tools we make for research.

Beyond my academic works, I operate a blog where I post short explorations of testing topics (especially fuzzing), I am a maintainer of LibAFL (and the author of libafl_libfuzzer), and I sometimes write blogs on secret.club. I'm also a bit of a foodie, so if you see me at the conference and know of any great places to eat during the winter break: let me know!

Ich habe angefangen, mal irgendwas mit Freifunk zu machen, so gegen 2015. Dieses Hobby hat mich nicht nur dem Chaos näher gebracht, sondern auch irgendwann Richtung Amateurfunk geführt. Somit habe ich meine Lizenz 2023 gemacht und habe seither nicht nur mit WLAN Spaß, sondern auch mit allem, was davor kam und mehr Sendeleistung erlaubt. :)

corellia is an ambulatory wheelchair user who got unreasonably angry about a 599€ remote control and discovered that spite is an excellent motivator for reverse engineering: because understanding the device you depend on isn't just interesting, it should always be possible. Firmly believes that if your medical device has Google Play Billing integrated, something has gone horribly wrong.

Has now spent more time reverse engineering their wheelchair drive model than the manufacturer probably spent implementing the DRM.

I studied biology and ecology, then realised that I would need computer skills for my research, so I switched to computational biology. I became hooked on programming, tinkering and hacking. I finished my PhD in bioinformatics, specialising in small proteins in bacteria. However, I found this type of fundamental research a little too esoteric. I currently work at the UFZ (Umweltforschungszentrum Leipzig-Halle) on drought monitoring and related topics as a geoinformatician. The first CCC I attended was the 35C3, where I immediately felt at home. This time, I finally found the courage to participate myself.

Das Netzwerk Polylux ist seit 2019 aktiv, um antifaschistische Projekte in Ostdeutschland - vor allem - finanziell zu unterstützen. Schon damals kam mit der Sorge um wegbrechende Finanzierungsmöglichkeiten angesichts einer schwachen Linken und der immer stärker werdenden Rechten die Idee auf, finanzielle Unabhängigkeit zu schaffen.

Das Prinzip ist einfach: Polylux sammelt Geld über Fördermitgliedschaften und Spenden und verteilt sie an Projekte im ländlichen ostdeutschen Raum um. Durch das Netzwerk bekommen die Initiativen größere Sichtbarkeit. Allein im letzten Jahr konnte Polylux fast 200.000 Euro an linke, antifaschistische Projekte in Ostdeutschland umverteilen.

I live in Hamburg and work there as a software developer. It took me long (both in terms of time elapsed and number of hops) to get there (geographically as well as occupationally), so I won't bother you with details. Important is, that during those years, photography oscillated between being part of my job and one of my hobbies, and so did tinkering with microcontrollers and automation. The projects I'm into are often about bringing contemporary hardware and 3d-printed parts to something considered obsolete.

Ich bin Lukas, Berater, Infrastruktur-Stratege und leidenschaftlicher Bastler – im Rechenzentrum wie am Herd. Beruflich bewege ich mich zwischen Automatisierung, Architektur und strategischer IT, privat zwischen Sous-vide-Bad, Espressomühle und Edelstahlpfanne. Aufgewachsen in einer Gastro-Technik-Familie habe ich früh gelernt, dass gutes Kochen und gute Technik denselben Prinzipien folgen: Präzision, Verständnis und Neugier. Kochen ist für mich angewandte Wissenschaft – ein Spiel mit Temperatur, Zeit und Chemie, bei dem man durch Experimentieren lernt, Systeme zu verstehen. Wenn ich nicht gerade Cloud-Strategien entwerfe oder neue Pair-Programming-Kulturen etabliere, verbringe ich meine Zeit damit, Rezepte zu debuggen, Geschmack zu analysieren und über die physikalische Eleganz eines perfekt gebratenen Steaks zu philosophieren. Ich koche (semi-)professionell, gerne für Freundinnen, Familie und Kolleginnen – und genieße dabei mindestens so sehr das Experiment wie das Ergebnis. Für mich ist Kochen die schönste Form des Hackens: unmittelbar, multisensorisch und immer ein bisschen chaotisch.

At the European XFEL I was responsible for the detector program of the first-generation detector systems up to routine operation.

Martha Root exists in the space where anonymity becomes identity. Some believe Martha is an old-school anarchist researcher. Others insist the patterns look more like a self-taught AI. The truth is not the point. Martha documents white supremacy online, disrupts extremist fantasies, and turns their infrastructures inside out. Every publication has fingerprints that don’t match any known person. Every leak is written in a voice that could belong to a coder, a poet, or a dataset. Martha is whatever the antifascist movement needs at the moment: a ghost in their servers, a thorn in their mythologies, and an intelligence that refuses obedience.

Oliver Ettlin is a network engineer, time-nerd, and multicast enthusiast who spends an unreasonable amount of time making packets arrive exactly when (and where) they should. By day, he wrangles networks to achieve sub-microsecond precision with PTP (IEEE 1588), by night, he experiments with multicast setups that make switches sweat and routers question their existence. With a background in network design and troubleshooting, Oliver has a soft spot for time synchronization, hardware timestamping, and the elegant (and sometimes painful) beauty of distributed systems that almost, but not quite, agree on what "now" means. He loves turning complex timing and networking concepts into practical, knowledge, preferably with live demos, broken configs, a fair bit of humor and the black art of making multicast behave.
