Electronic Opsec: Protect Yourself From Online Tracking & Surveillance, Zoz - Australia

Electronic communication is the boon of the modern age, but surveillance is increasingly becoming its business model. Ordinary businesspeople and citizens, not just dissidents and criminals, are finding the traces they leave from their everyday internet and cellphone usage being used to target, monetize and exploit them.  

In this presentation, we will look at the techniques used by intelligence agencies (both those of government and the private sector such as Facebook, Google and LinkedIn) to track and deanonymize users across networks and devices: what their capabilities are and how these techniques can be misused by end clients and observers.

The correct usage of various tools and techniques will be presented to help you to maintain operational security and protect against bad actors taking advantage of your online history.  The presentation will also include a dissection of ways in which the latest directions in commercial end user tracking are taking their technology directly from criminal malware techniques.

The presentation will be held by Zoz. Zoz is a robotics engineer, pyrochemist, and inveterate tinkerer. He got his PhD from the Robotic Life group at the MIT Media Lab. Zoz is a robotics expert and privacy advocate whose interests center on the interactions between humans and technology in the form of human-machine interfaces, design, and individual empowerment.  He has taught subjects including robotics, digital fabrication, cybersecurity and ethical hacking at top international universities and as a private industry consultant.  He has hosted and appeared on numerous international television shows including Prototype This!, Time Warp and RoboNationTV.  He speaks frequently at prominent security conferences world wide, and 2-time DEFCON black badge winner.
