[ Session Name ] Shining a spotlight in the shadows, how to discover the capabilities of state sponsored hackers [ Primary Space ] Privacy and Security [ Secondary Space ] Web Literacy

What will happen in your session?

Participants will be given raw data and taught to use an intelligence framework to generate information on state sponsored hackers (Advanced Persistent Threats -APTs) from open source intelligence sources. Participants that want a more advanced class will also be taught how to collect the raw data on APTs that can be fed into the framework to generate further information on these state sponsored hackers.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

To give people an evidence based understanding of the electronic capabilities of nation states. If people understand what governments can do and choose to do online, they can make an informed decision about their online life and how they interact with their government. I also want to show people how many open source intelligence sources are out there and give them an understanding of how they can collect information on state sponsored hackers. The more light that is shed on what governments do online will help impede the actions of repressive regimes.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

cc @MozillaFestival/2018-youth-zone-wranglers, might be a compelling topic for parts of our audiences.

I'd not considered this workshop for the youth zone but if people are interested I can try to cater for a younger audience as well.

@KadeMorton, I think that would be super interesting, although we are also interested in content youth might explore around the entire festival.

The Privacy and Security team love this proposal. We're going to accept for our Mozfest schedule this year. Please look out for further communications via email.

Congratulations @KadeMorton!
