About

Hacknight #2 was a free one-day creative tech conference in Malmö, Sweden on June 19, 2010.

Local hackerspace Forskningsavdelningen invites you to enjoy tech culture unfolding. Hands-on workshops and a captivating speaker track will cultivate and realize ideas. Network with participants from all over the scene.

A large, industrial house plays host to the hordes of interested tech heads. For the duration of the conference, the hackerspace is extended to encompass the whole building.

Doors will be open from 13.37 and talks begin at 17.00 and are in 1hr slots. Workshops will have introductions before they start and then continue at one of the workshop locations for a limited or unlimited (until hacknight is over) time.

Crypto Activism

To secure communications and to prevent surveillance, internauts use different methods of encryption and anonymizing proxies.

Recent wiretapping and copyright legislation have led to such technologies becoming more popular and easier to use, sometimes giving rise to autonomous darknets which are, in some respect, outside the reach of legal authorities.

This talk will discuss the politics of computer networks in general, and crypto-activism in particular.

Blackthrows

Presenting the Blackthrow technology and how to deploy cipherspace nodes in existing infrastructure.

The blackthrow can be used to create secure and completely decentralized (owner-free) channels of communication to be used in situations where freedom of speech is critical, and in situations where it is impossible to interact with the ordinary Internets without having a traceable origin. Example scenarios are during war-time, in regimes that throttle the Internet connectivity (Iran, China).

Usage of blackthrows, or similar technology, is however definitely not limited to these circumstances. Everyone has the right to communicate freely, without corporations and authorities surveilling our correspondence.

All you can 1337

There is a table.
There is also piles of garbage, filled with left over components, half-done electronics projects from students, weird casings and one or two toys. All for your l00ting pleasure.

We pour all of this over the table and and floor and indulge in free form hacking.

We arrange a speed hack where you get 5 seconds to gather stuff and then a time frame within to build from that.

We bathe in electronic junk.

We arrange an exhibition with the most beuatiful and monstrous creations.
