Identification Evasion: Knowledge & Countermeasures

Presented at DEF CON 12 (2004), July 30, 2004, 7 p.m. (50 minutes)

Everyday you're right to privacy is being compromised! From security cameras, to illegal searches, to unauthorized monitoring you are being watched. You must protect yourself...and your rights. Using Identification Evasion, you can immediately strengthen your protections. I'll discuss knowledge & countermeasures in the Computer and Real Worlds while presenting many great methods to turn the tables on surveillance. In addition to other in-depth demonstrations and examples, you'll see Identification Evasion in action as I present the video 'Night As Jason Biggs' (for the first time, unedited) where I applied these techniques in Las Vegas. You'll learn some things, enjoy the talk and be entertained!
