I found a similiar posting on HN last year. I saved exactly 97 videos from 29C3. All of them with an interesting title. My brilliant plan: watch them over the year while traveling by train or plane. Maybe I read HN or slept but I watched not a single video. Now I have another ~100 great videos to watch. I really want to watch them all but I doubt it. I need a direct brain uplink.

Perhaps you should start by watching "Towards an affordable brain-computer-interface": http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2013/30C3_-_5395_-_en_-_...

Transcripts can be found here: http://subtitles.media.ccc.de/

10Gbit/s mirror (also offers ftp and rsync): http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/ccc/30C3/

Also on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOcrXzpA0W82rsJJKrmeBl...

For best experience, please do _not_ use mirrors directly. http://media.ccc.de (http://cdn.media.ccc.de to be precise) will redirect you to the fastest mirror near you (GeoIP and ASN-based).

Which recordings do you recommend? (One per comment.)

Watching The Tor Network right now... pretty interesting

Electronic Bank Robbery is awesome... it's about hacking into an ATM to make it spit out bills at random times. Link: http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2013/30C3_-_5476_-_en_-_...

> The Keynote by Glenn Greenwald - http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2013/30C3_-_5622_-_en_-_...

> The Tor Network - http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2013/30C3_-_5423_-_en_-_...

> Bullshit made in Germany (might only be interesting for Germans) - http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2013/30C3_-_5210_-_de_-_...

I recommend Jacob Applebaum's presentation (I only watched part 2. You don't necessarily have to watch part 1). He talked about these two articles in particular: http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/the-nsa-uses-power... / http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/catalog-reveals-ns... in good detail. Pretty impressive (and frightening) stuff.

FPGA 101 is very informative: http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2013/30C3_-_5185_-_en_-_...

ps: CCC is awesome, every hacker should plan of attending at least once in your life! :)

First time I attended, I agree with this statement.

You should definitely watch Weis' German talk "Cryptography after Snowden". So good.

I really enjoyed this talk on Wii U hardware hacking - http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2013/30C3_-_5290_-_en_-_...

I liked:

Script your Car! (with python) http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2013/30C3_-_5360_-_en_-_...

Would be happy to get some feedback to my talk :) http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2013/30C3_-_5387_-_en_-_...

also liked the script your car. great classic embed hardware probe demo. and i always postponed learning can bus. extra points for using an eeepc and keeping the 3c tradition alive, even if in his case seemed to be against his will.

If you're into hardware hacking then these are fun (in addition to Bunnie's and the Wii U):

* "Even More Tamagotchis Were Harmed in the Making of this Presentation"http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5279.html

* "My journey into FM-RDS" http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5588.html

If you prefer reading text they are also both well written up on their respective blogs.

Still on the hardware side of things this was also interesting to me:

* "Programming FPGAs with PSHDL: Let's create the Arduino for FPGAs" http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5186.html

> "How to Build a Mind - Artificial Intelligence Reloaded" http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2013/30C3_-_5526_-_en_-_...

The Exploration and Exploitation of an SD Memory Card: http://youtu.be/r3GDPwIuRKI

Fast Internet-wide Scanning and its Security Applications: http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2013/30C3_-_5533_-_en_-_...

A lot of people also recommended 'Seeing The Secret State: Six Landscapes', but I haven't seen that one myself so far: http://youtu.be/j56s46e97Lo

Long Distance Quantum Communication

You know there's a root index file at http://cdn.media.ccc.de/INDEX

Also you should use the CDN to redirect to the correct mirror

The web server returns redirect responses to mirrors that wget follows.

Just to clear this up: cdn.media.ccc.de is the new name for ftp.ccc.de. It was renamed because it does not actually serve FTP anymore, since HTTP can be load-balanced a lot better.

If you just use downthemall you get the advantage of mirror brain/metalink support.

Anyone care to summarize what this is about?

From what I gather these are 30C3 recordings from a CCC-TV website. The recordings have titles like FPGA 101 and Programming FPGAs with PSHDL.. There is no about page and the home page has further topics like, SIGINT13 video release, SIGINT12 video release and 28C3 webm release.

I'm confused..

30C3 is the name of this years Chaos Communication Congress https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Communication_Congress

Those are the video recordings of day 1-3. (Day 4 is happening today)

Those are recordings from the 30C3 which will conclude today, the annual Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

The schedule with abstracts of the talks can be found here: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/schedule.html

If you want a one line summary, they're similar to TED talks, but much longer and for technical people.

I've been to HOPE conferences in New York, fun but terribly expensive, these look similar but slightly more technical. I'd be interested in a comparison/contrast from people who've been to both HOPE and CCC cons.

The videos and the podcast feed for them can be fed into MIRO which will feed into my mythtv setup so I can watch them all at home. Unfortunately, I prefer listening to audio of conferences in my car, have done that for many years, and video isn't going to work, or at least would be tremendously wasteful. Perhaps there will be mp3 files and a podcast xml feed of them for the CCC presentations sooner or later.

C3 talks come in several varieties. There are hardcore tech talks about actually attacking and exploiting devices (security & safety) and more hardware-oriented talks about building things (hardware & making). Next you have lectures about general science and engineering. On the less technical side there is one track about ethics, society and politics and another one for art & beauty.

Apart from the talks there are usually workshops, special interest groups (knitting, BSDM,...) and dedicated space for socialising and collaborating with others on projects on site.

Is BSDM a new furk? ;)

Do you believe HOPE to be terribly expensive? It's $120 for several days, which I really wouldn't consider that expensive, and there are discounts for students and (I think) free for volunteers.

Being in NY makes accommodations expensive, but Hotel Pennsylvania rooms split a few ways aren't that bad.

My take on HOPE vs. CCC is that HOPE is much more explicitly political, especially outside security. 30c3 was pretty much the "CCC NSA event", though, which was unusual. Both are fun, but my favorite conferences are the Dutch HAL/HIP/OHM/etc., and USENIX Security. I have super high hopes for Real World Crypto NYC 13-15 JAN, and excited to speak at ShmooCon 17-19 JAN in DC.

It's talks presented at the 30th Chaos Communication Congress, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Communication_Congress , as these videos are pretty much just a couple of days to hours old, they're may not be edited or categorized properly yet..

Seeing The Secret State: Six Landscapes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j56s46e97Lo

> In this talk, artist Trevor Paglen discusses his work attempting to “see” the various aspects of the secret state. In examples ranging from tracking spy satellites to foraging through the bureaucratic refuse of CIA front companies, Paglen will discuss methods used to identify and exploit structural contradictions in classified programs which render them visible, and comment on the aesthetics and politics of attempting to “see” secrecy.

I really enjoyed this, and it was somewhat of a different pace/style to the talks I've been watching today.
