Collaborative human rights engineering and research. If you think we could help you say hello.
Training // Offensive Privacy introduction to online defensive behaviour, state run spyware, OSINT and offensive research. Activist Cloud@Home attendees build autonomous self-trusted home-hosted servers with collaborative tools. Services // Red Team threat analysis and testing for human rights defenders and institutions. Always On live metadata visual installation. Software // Monster In The Middle network meta-data visualization.
The offensive privacy workshop provides an introduction to online defensive behaviours, offensive tools and digital threats. We examine case studies where human rights workers were compromised and what intrusion looked like to the victim. We will also provide an introduction to open source intelligence techniques (OSINT) based on public and private research that students can apply in their own work.
During the workshop the Always On metadata visualization network will be deployed where attendees can voluntarily check what data+metadata their devices leak.
At the conclusion we will also be available to students for collective discussion, questions or help. Students are welcome to bring a computer and phone but these are not essential.
Duration: 2 hours + 1 hour for collective discussion.
