 Subject: [Debian-NYC] Guardian Mobile Privacy/Security Hack Session This

 Please let me know if this is too far off-topic for this list.  I
 thought it was relevant based on conversations I've had with many
 different Debian-NYC people:

 Come learn about mobile privacy, test our software and hack your
 Android-powered phones, players, readers and tablets. The Guardian
 Project (https://guardianproject.info) aims to create easy to use apps,
 open-source firmware MODs, and customized, commercial mobile phones that
 can be used and deployed around the world, by any person looking to
 protect their communications from unjust intrusion. We will be working
 on and testing apps from Guardian and other developers that provide
 features for increased privacy, anonymity and security on mobile
 networks.

 The workshop will specifically cover the following topics:

 - How to browse the web anonymously and circumvent filtering and
   firewalls using Orbot (Tor for Android) and Firefox Mobile
 - Tweeting over Orbot using transparent proxying (iptables magic!)
 - Secure your SMS and mobile IM conversations using "Off the Record"
   messaging
 - Make end-to-end encrypted voice calls using CSipSimple and Freeswitch
 - Learn about the state of and "how to" on rooting Android devices, and
   building and booting your own firmware

 This event is being hosted at Eyebeam by Hans-Christoph Steiner as part
 of his X-Lab Residency. Attendance is free: email stephanie [at]
 eyebeam [dot] org to RSVP.
