  2. The Three Laws of Thermodynamics: 1. You can't win. 2. You can't break even. 3. You can't quit the game.

  3. “When we think about what is happening at the NSA for the past decade, the result has been an adversarial internet - a sort of global free fire zone for governments that is nothing that we ever asked for. It is not what we want. It is something that we need to protect against.” - Edward Snowden

  5. May 19 You're invited to the May Techno-Activism Third Mondays (TA3M) in Durham! TA3M is an informal meetup designed to connect software creators and activists who are interested in censorship, surveillance, and open technology. The event takes place in different cities around the globe every third Monday of the month. WHAT: TA3M in Durham [1,2] WHEN: Monday May 19th from 7:15pm 'till 9:15pm WHERE: SplatSpace [3] TOPIC: Hands-on - Hardening Android for Security & Privacy Mobile devices - smartphones and tablets - have become one of our primary platforms for accessing the Internet. Great for convenience, but not so much for security and privacy! Mobile OSes offer much more limited options for configuration - leading to much greater exposure of personal information such as identity, location, browsing habits, etc. - than a traditional desktop OS. The security/privacy gurus at Tor have posted a HOWTO for hardening Android [4], but it's not for the faint of heart - reflashing the firmware, installing a new OS, lots of packages to install and knobs to twiddle! So we decided to make it a joint effort and walk through the process together on a reference device - a Google Nexus 7. Join us to see how it's done - or bring your own Android phone or tablet and give it a shot yourself!

  6. The Three Laws of Countersurveillance: • You can’t prevent surveillance. • You can make it harder. • You can limit what they get.

  7. “The bottom line - I have repeated this again and again - is that encryption does work. We need to think of encryption not as this sort of arcane black art. It is a basic protection - a defense against the dark arts - for the digital realm.” - Edward Snowden
