Keynote – Peter Fein
summary
Describes concrete hacktivist actions: organizing protests for WikiLeaks in over one hundred cities in two weeks, running encryption support (Tor, VPNs) and building mirrors and proxies to restore access, recruiting ham radio and setting up hundreds of dial‑up modem lines when networks go down, sending faxes and a reverse‑fax service, scanning Egyptian IP space to find a few thousand machines still online, and prototyping intranet LiveCDs and two‑way radio HOWTOs — most efforts prove usable and reusable.
