Re: [liberationtech] Mapping out physical surveillance across a city

 How would one map an entire city's surveillance anyway? Are the location
 of police cameras available? And even if they are, how does one map out
 all the private cameras watching? Is there some tech that could be used
 to do that?

Government cameras may well be available through freedom of information
laws.

For example, here is a request that got the locations of cameras in one
district of London:
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/surveillance_cameras

In other places, the government will even pro-actively give out that
information. e.g. here's a government-produced spreadsheet location of
cameras in Nottingham, UK:

It might be useful just to collect together these existing resources on
a national or global level; I'd be up for helping with something like that.

 If anybody comes up with a such a map for the bay area, I'd love to
 see it.

Re: [liberationtech] Cryptogeddon

[Dan O'Huiginn]

I like this concept. I'd particularly love a more basic version of this,
perhaps using openbadges to reward people who make it through a
game-cum-course that lets them use security-related tools.

A perennial problem in security education is getting people enough
practical experience. That's particularly true of communication tools --
you need to pair people up to practice communication, which can be hard
to arrange outside of face-to-face meetings.

A game would be a great way of dealing with this. I'm thinking of
something aimed at the fundamentals -- such as:

 - talk with this bot using OTR
 - read a clue that has been GPG encrypted with your public key
 - get some info out of a truecrypt volume
 - access a tor hidden service
 - send some text via a signed, encrypted mail

[I'll add this to my list of projects for a rainy weekend, and
meanwhile wait to see whether Cryptogeddon is anything close to it]

 some on the list.
 
 In a nutshell, Cryptogeddon is an online cyber security war game. The
 game consists of various missions, each of which challenges the
 participant to apply infosec tools to solve technology puzzles – an
 online scavenger hunt, if you will. Each mission comes with a solution
 that teaches the participant which tools to use and how to apply the
 tools to solve the mission.
 
 Further on the article describes the tools one may need to use,
 including but not limited to:
 
 * TrueCrypt
 * Metasploit  Kali
 * Nessus
 * Amazon Web Services
 * w3af
 * Linux, Windows, OS X
 * Apache, IIS
 * GitHub
 * VirtualBox
 * Sysinternals
