 Hello, I'm Lt. Goldassen from IT Political Association of Denmark. We are actually 20 people today until Tuesday here in Brussels to come here and especially to work on some members of the parliament. I'm going to talk about Polybics, the privacy CD, which I have one here too. And my purpose of course here is to make you all really interested, so you all come and join us or help us. You can help us make Polybics, or it's just as good if you just want to work on the technologies I'm talking about. I'm going to do that by appealing to technical challenges, your love for open source, and your responsibilities as human beings. You all know the political background on September 15, 2007. In Denmark we actually started all this data retention and logging. I know other places in Europe you're late, but Denmark is kind of a test bed, so we have some experiences already. You know how it goes. We log phones, every TCP connection, or every 500 packets on huge tapes in the basements of internet providers, phone companies, hotels, access points, net cafes, everything. So that's where a lot of logging is going on, and we don't like it, and I don't have to explain that to you. Another issue was the net filter. It started by what we call the child porn filter, blocking a lot of filters, of domains, and data for all the MP3 cases we're trying to go after. Music sites, and now we've paid just a few weeks ago, and it's not like we want to promote illegal copying or illegal activities, but we do mind when we start messing with the internet. The internet is a lot more important than, for example, popular music in our opinion, and we call it blogging and quotes, because anyone in this room, of course, could avoid it, just to use another DNS server, but it's a slippery slope, and one day we might make something that is a lot harder to circumvent. Already have that in Britain. The InfoStock Directive implementing all the bad things for the DMCA, so we are not allowed to write programs that can do our fair use copies and distribute them. And of course, this is not Denmark. In Denmark, we travel a lot, small country, and we go to the US, Syria, Cuba, a lot of countries where you might not be as sure as about who's listening into you when you're sitting on your hotel room and sending emails. And it's not only just about the police, it's also about the whole thing going on who's logging you when you're at work, if you're at school, are you checking what you're doing, and so on. So we decided to do something about it. And we think that as open source developers, we have a special responsibility, because this thing has to be fixed, and we are the one who can fix it, especially if a more technical issue of which I'll be talking about today. So we do it because it's fun, but we also do it because we feel we have to do it. So what you see here is actually a member of parliament holding the first copy of version of our politics in front of the parliament, that is the door of the parliament here. And that was mailed out in 12,000 copies by Prosa, who is a trade union in Denmark for IT professionals. And that demonstrates one of our purposes. We want to have a lot of technical interesting stuff on the CD, but we also want to get the attention of the politicians here. And once you get those two things, you do get the interest of the media, and you do get the interest of a bigger part of the population, certainly a lot bigger part than open source, free software developers. And that's what many people have been talking to us already about first, and how do you actually promote this and get some interest about it, and that's what some of this talk will be happening to be about. So I will do it in a very high-level way about the technical background, because it is a distribution, and of course we are a fashion of packages, and we have been messing with a lot of them. But that's details. The big picture is that we take a distribution, the first one we took was Nobix, and the one I have here is based on Kubuntu, and in the future we might try something else, like damn small Linux started as a special device. When we have on the Polybix.org, you will find our SVN repository, and what is inside the SVN repository is just a little of our own code, but most of it is just scripts that configures and installs and set up stuff, so we take a Kubuntu in, you know, one remake command from the remake file from our SVN, and you get an easy image that you cannot burn to a CD, and you have this, one of my projects that I think is particularly interesting is doing the USB thing, of course, we can put it on USB, and we have some scripts that is not working on the Spisa version yet. So you boot your Polybix privacy CD, and you are anonymous on the net, and all the nice things, and your friends see, oh, that's cool, and you come and put your USB stick into your computer, and, you know, using deboss, it will say, oh, is it a USB stick? Is that because you would like me to install Polybix on a USB stick, and when it just copies itself directly from a CD, and do the necessary installing things, and you have scripts for this working already. The interesting part here is, of course, well, it's a nice and easy way to install it, but also it's decentralized, you don't have to download Polybix from any place, and in some countries it could be a problem even downloading certain parts of free software, so in that way you can spread it very decentralized. We do, of course, have servers and mirrors where you can download Polybix, which I will mention later. A little more technical details, that's the layout, that's a standard for most live CDs. You have a normal ISO 9660 file system, where we put our text about what we are doing, we have some promotion videos against DRM, and videos explaining what we are doing, and when you have some compressed file system, C-loop and Nobix and Squash-a-Face in Kubuntu, where we put our software in. So I know you're all trying to know what it exactly is on Polybix, and, of course, what had the biggest effect so far is we have Tor on, and many in here know Tor, but it's bad for me, it's a little more than half of you, but Tor is onion-routing, so it's just a way to be anonymous by rooting for a random number of other members of the Tor network, like an overlay network. And it's very nice, you can run for a Proxy server, and there's even an extension in Firefox for it, so it has a Tor button so you can switch it on and off, because the bad thing about Tor is, of course, it does slow the net down, so it's fine for sending emails and reading text, but it's really bad for watching YouTube videos, which is fine for us, because we are interested in the more democratic aspects of it, so if you're someone who wants to, or just privacy issues, you want to send an email to your wife, you don't need a fast network for that. That's why the Tor button is nice, because you can turn it on when you really need it. We have MacChance on. MacChance is a program that just changes your MAC address, the hardware address that identifies your computer, which is important if you put a computer on another network. All of you that are sitting here is being registered in routers, at least maybe not permanently, but the router will know which computer is on, so if you have used Polybics when you were booting your computer, it will just change all your hardware addresses on every single network interface. That means if you go to an internet café and you log on with Polybics, there's no way MacChance will package back to you, even after the data retention, we can only track it back to the internet café, unless the internet café, of course, was asking for your identity. We have Twinkle on. Twinkle is a very nice zip phone, internet phone. It also uses a ZRTP protocol from Simmerman who invented the PDP, and it's just based on verifying fingerprints by spelling them out, like on the ability to actually hear what is your girlfriend and another machine. So that's pretty secure. Of course, we might still log it back to your computer, but if you use Twinkle and you're sitting on a web café and you're using MacChance to come on it, we can trace it back to you. So you have anonymity, and you also have privacy. We can't listen in and we can't track it back to you. That's two different things that confuse a lot of people, and that's another thing we're doing in Polybics products, trying to educate journalists and others about these issues. We have software like EFAIP, so you can see what's going on in your network. It's not all about privacy. We have K3B and K9 copy just to say that it is actually legal, at least in some countries, to make a copy of your DVD if it might try to stop you, but we think it's all right. So Polybics is about protecting all of our rights. Same thing with the employer. You're allowed to play in Denmark. You're allowed to play in the video in one DVD from the U.S. And Polybics does give you that option. For DNS, blocking, so-called blocking, we have different versions. Sometimes we just want to bind as a server on your live CD or we can just put in DNS servers that we know do not censor. Only as a large research resort we use DNS, but you got from your DNS DHCP server because some networks has firewalls, so that's the only option. We even have some Windows programs. The XB browser is a tool combined with Firefox. We are considering other options. VLC, so Windows user can play DVDs from all regions, and especially so we can play with our own videos that are also on the DVD. Poly and SSH, it's more for our own course. Evasor is actually a very simple program, but just Evasor disk can be a way, like Peter Goodman proved us the right way. And a lot of people are actually happy about using that. We really want to have some help with someone know about Windows because that is a good reason to get free software on Windows because Windows users, after all, deserve high-resit too. So, this all ties in with the four freedom of free software. It needs to be able to run for any purpose, so it can't be stopped. You need to study it, so you know that you didn't put any backdoors. We need to redistribute it, print or download thousands of DVDs, CDs, or you need to be able to improve it. And if it wasn't for free software, you know, it probably wouldn't exist. Someone would get a phone call saying you might make money on it, but it's probably a bad idea for you anyway. So, we managed to get a lot of influence. That's Polypix in the CD, in Autosurveillance. It says, every single day in this newspaper, blogs, all TV channels, we are meeting with politicians for minutes of justice that she didn't like it. And that's a very good way to get their attention in the media. So, we are trying a technical channelist, like putting on USB sticks, embedded system phones. We would like very much to go into network, make some open mesh network things so we could get even more decentralized. We have harder problems. How to sign keys. Email is not working well enough now. Technically, it does, but it's deep key and fundamental, but actually having a very nice system that ordinary users can use to get private email would be very nice. So, we do some outreach, that was from 15 September last year when we were having a demonstration, and that's something that got the attention of the media because it was news, it was a good day, it was good pictures because we had these nice IT police uniforms, and Polypix was already known. So, what would you have to do? And we want to thank the community. First time we made it, we have serious network problems, and as area is 1.6 gigabit, we just remember that we knew, and you know, there are 100 megabit line, I have 100 megabyte line, and just in no time we had downloaded about 40,000 images of recent Denmark for a small country, that's a lot. So, that's my main point here, that privacy and freedom are actually killer applications for free software, it's much more important than games, because people actually use it. Just that special week when we came up, we actually had more downloads of Polypix when Microsoft was able to sell Vista, and that was just after Vista came out. And that shows we just really need to show people that we do have an opportunity, we can avoid some of this thing, and of course there are things that we can avoid, like cameras, but using which we also get the attention of the politicians. You can get more here and meet me outside.
