EIT MSchool S&P SEMINAR: Government Hacking and the Proliferation of
the Surveillance Industry

DATE: 04.11.2015
TIME: 04:00pm
LOCATION: Garda Room (Povo 1)

SPEAKER: Claudio Guarnieri

AFFILIATIONS: University of Toronto (Citizen Lab); The Honeynet Project; The
Centre for Internet and Human Rights.

ABSTRACT: With the growing ubiquity of encryption in common Internet
services, state actors are increasingly recurring to hacking and using
spyware to monitor controversial groups and individuals. The need for
powerful and resilient intrusion software fostered a booming
surveillance industry. However, research and publications of the last
years uncovered a disturbing reality of human rights abuses by
oppressive regimes, and an unexpected global proliferation of very
invasive, and yet mostly unregulated, hacking software and equipment. In
this talk, we walk through several years of technical and academic
research that opened the lid on the intrusion software market and
sparked a debate that is now of the highest relevance.

SPEAKER BIO: Claudio is a security researcher and free software
developer. He created the malware analysis system Cuckoo Sandbox, and
the free service Malwr.com. He's a core member of The Honeynet
Project, a fellow at the Centre for Internet and Human Rights, and a
research fellow at the Citizen Lab, University of Toronto."
