We hope you are having nice and relaxing holidays and if you happen to be in Leipzig for 35c3 have a great time (you can find some of us at the VCF@Congress assembly and we have stickers)

Call for Participation: On Saturday 3rd of November we will have our first open meet-up at 15.00 at the new location Falken (Falkgatan 7, in the back of the building).
First we will discuss the existing infrastructure followed by general brainstorming for activities in the near future. Please drop by and contribute

Reminder: We will have the important meeting to reboot GHS on Saturday. The meeting will be at 15:00 at Guitarren in Falkgatan 7 (The entrance is in the back yard down the stairs, https://www.google.com/maps/place/57%C2%B043'05.6%22N+12%C2%B000'16.2%22E/@57.7182006,12.0042218,54m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d57.7182228!4d12.0045113)

We will have an extra member meeting on 2018-10-27 at 15:00 at Guitarren in Falkgatan 7.

The agenda is the following:
* Acceptance of protocol for the ordinary yearly meeting.
* Election of new chairman and new board members.

We will also discuss the future of the hackerspace and how to move on from there so even if you doon't care about the bureaucratic part you should attend if you want to get involved.

We are devastated to hear that our long lasting chairperson Nicco passed away on the weekend. A friend who will be dearly missed

Foss-gbg will talk about an a bit of computer history on the 29th of August, what was ITS - Incompatible Timesharing System?

https://www.meetup.com/foss-gbg/events/253297675/

"There was an even more striking embodiment of the Hacker Ethic within ITS. Unlike almost any other time-sharing system, ITS did not use passwords. It was designed, in fact, to allow hackers maximum access to any user's file. The old practice of having paper tapes in a drawer, a collective program library where you'd have people use and improve your programs, was embedded in ITS; each user could open a set of personal files, stored on a disk. The open architecture of ITS encouraged users to look through these files, see what neat hacks other people were working on, look for bugs in the programs, and fix them. If you wanted a routine to calculate sine functions, for instance, you might look in Gosper's files and find his ten-instruction sine hack. You could go through the programs of the master hackers, looking for ideas, admiring the code. The idea was that computer programs belonged not to individuals, but to the world of users."

3D printing and recycling in space!

Recycling plastic is hard on Earth—but NASA has figured out a way to do it in space It's a recycler and 3D printer in one.

Hur gjorde Transportstyrelsen för att sprida känslig information till 3:e part?

1) Följa lagen? Nä, de har vi inte tid med!
"Enligt tidplanen för projektet skall det parallellt med due diligence och transitionsprojekt genomföras säkerhetsaktiviteter av administrativ karaktär
som krävs får att Transportstyrelsen ska uppnå efterlevnad mot de regulativa och juridiska krav som ställs på verksamheten, primärt Säkerhetsskyddslagen, Prsonuppgiftslagen (PUL) och Offentlighets- och
sekretesslagen (OSL)."
s. 67

"Konsekvensen blir att projekt blir avsevärt försenat."

"Projektet vill därför begära ett beslut om avsteg."

"Konsekvensen är att förutom röja skyddsvärd information som kan användas får vidare angrepp mot Transportstyrelsen, negativ publicitet även riskera brott mot Säkerhetsskyddslagen , Prsonuppgiftslagen (PUL) och Offentlighets- och sekretesslagen (OSL)."
s. 68

"Tilläggas kan att Transportstyrelsen behöver resurssäkras ytterligare för att säkra att säkerhetsskyddsarbetet sker iden takt som krävs
utifrån handlingsplanen."
s. 72

"Härmed beslutas att avsteg från gällande lagstiftning & Transportstyrelsens riktlinjer från nedanstående datum och som längst till 2015-12-31"
s. 73

"Davids chefs chef tryckte på att David skulle fortsätta trots att David sa att man skulle bryta mot lagen om man fortsatt."
s. 117

2) Säkerhet? Inte en prioriterad arbetsmetod..

"De som har haft tillgång till lagringsplattformarna har inte varit säkerhetsprövade, trots att de haft tillgång till helheten. Frågan har diskuterats, men blev riktigt aktuell först när man skulle flytta driften till IBM."
s. 156

"Vilka avsteg känner du till?
Ett första från Fujitsu, som syftade till att komma igång att arbeta innan man hade säkerhetsprövat två holländare. Man löste det med att de skulle ha en "ryggsäck" när de arbetade"
s. 129

"Tycker du att Transportstyrelsen har vidtagit nödvändiga åtgärder i säkerhetsskyddsarbetet för att följa gällande lag i samband med outsourcingen av IT-miljön?
Nej. De största bristerna har varit kontrollen på vilken skyddsvärd information som funnits och vart den funnits. I hela processen har tid fått går före säkerhetsskyddsåtgärderna. Säkerhet generellt på
Transportstyrelsen inte har varit prioriterat. "
s. 157

3) EPIC failure!
"De trodde att det skulle vara möjligt att ta in och säkerhetspröva utländsk personal i leveransen, men det visade sig inte vara praktiskt möjligt. Säkerhetspolisen har meddelat att de inte kan säkerhetspröva den aktuella personalen och de har fått tillbaka ansökningarna."
s. 175

Why is it a bad idea to publish pictures of master keys and why is it a pain to 3D print them?

http://3dprintingindustry.com/news/last-tsa-master-key-hacked-90268/

The last TSA master key has been hacked In a move to prove a point about security, a group of hackers have released blueprints to 3D print the eighth and last TSA master key this week at a conference in New York.If you are unfamiliar, TSA approved locks allow luggage security personnel to unlock and inspect your bags without damaging lock...

There was only 1 person besides the instructor attending the 3D course last Sunday and as we need a minimum of 5 to report to Studiefrämjandet so making a break until Sunday the 20th of August.

In the mean time feel free to check out this Swedish article about the future of 3D printing in the industry:

Tekniken som kan revolutionera tillverkningsindustrin - BusinesStories 3D-printing är det senaste inom tillverkningsindustrin. Med hjälp av laser kan ytterst komplexa komponenter tillverkas, och tekniken spås bli revolutionerande för industrin. Men det krävs mer forskning för att optimera metoden. På flera håll i Sverige forskas det kring 3D-printing som ny tillverknin...

Trying to install Gentoo and keep your sanity? Heh, fat chance :P

Anyways, some of our members are also Gentoo users and we even have a Gentoo developer who comes by from time to time.

Feel free to drop by if you are having trouble with your install, maybe we can lend you a hand. And remind, there is always a way out of the Gentoo spiral: Ubuntu :P

Man Loses Will to Live During Gentoo Install A man has been left hospitalised and his family left distraught in the aftermath of a grueling install of the Gentoo Linux operating system. The 32 year old man was admitted on Thursday and is currently in a stable but serious condition, after he reportedly lost the will to live.

On Sunday we will have the 2nd study on 3D printers where we will focus on howto make our own designs, drop by! ;)

https://www.facebook.com/events/635089313368791/

We have had access to a brand new 3D printer from Studiefrämjandet and after the introduction event people expressed there interest to start a study circle and it will start within 2 weeks.

We plan to go through the process of getting to know
howto use the the machine, print your first models from Thingiverse to making your own creations with CAD and other 3D modelling software. You are welcome to signup by sending a mail to emma.ohrwall (at) studieframjandet.se. We also need your feedback to find the day that will work for most people, please fill in our Doodle:
http://doodle.com/poll/4rmh5e3aipwkrqra

We want to hear your ideas on what you want to achive so we can improve the study plan, you are welcome to drop by to let us know during our regular opening hours (Saturday 15 - 17) or at Omverkstan's forum:
http://omverkstan.se/forum/categories/makerspace

Looking forward to see find out where your creativity takes you in this journey! ;)

We Talked to a Witch Who Casts Viruses Out of Computers With Magic - Motherboard It sounds like a hoax, but Silicon Valley is taking her seriously.

"Recently, the CIA lost control of the majority of its hacking arsenal including malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized "zero day" exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation. This extraordinary collection, which amounts to more than several hundred million lines of code, gives its possessor the entire hacking capacity of the CIA."

Do you want to talk about the recent sha-1 collision and what this implies?

We want too! Come and join us next Saturday (4/3) starting at 15!
