DeepSec 2016 „Ten“,
Unknown date/time
(Unknown duration).
Cyberwar, Cyberterror and Cybercrime have been buzzwords for several years now.
Despite the problem of finding useful definitions for modern IT security
threats and so much criclejerking bullshit bingo going on, we have to think about
the assessment of capabilities in the IT field.
Besides institutional actors like states and their military and intelligence
communities we also have to assess the capabilities of non-institutional actors
like terrorist groups or organised crime.
However, unlike the assessment of classic military strength, assessing the capabilities and powers of actors in the IT field is much more complicated and complex.
In this talk I will introduce the first tools, methods and statistics to compare
hacking capabilites and assess the »cyber fighting power« of different actors.

Stefan Schumacher is the president of the Magdeburg Institute for Security
Research and editor of the Magdeburg Journal for Security Research in
Magdeburg/Germany. He started his hacking career before the fall of the
Berlin Wall, on a small East German computer with 1.75 MHz and a Datasette drive.
Ever since he liked to explore technical and social systems, with a focus on
security and how to exploit them. He was a NetBSD developer for some years and
involved in several other Open Source projects and events. He studied Educational
Science and Psychology, has done a lot of unique research about the Psychology of
Security with a focus on Social Engineering, User Training and Didactics of
Security/Cryptography. Currently he's leading the research project Psychology of
Security,focusing on fundamental qualitative and quantitative research about the
perception and construction of security.
He presents the results of his research regularly at international conferences like
AusCert Australia, Chaos Communication Congress, Chaos Communciation Camp,
DeepSec Vienna, DeepIntel Salzburg, Positive Hack Days Moscow or LinuxDays
Luxembourg and in security related journals and books.
