*Remember the themes!*:
  - Surreptitious
  - User privacy and security
  - Affects on freedom; chilling effects
  - How free software can help

The big players seem to be the [[The Web][Web]] and [[Policy and Government][Government]].
No surprises there.


It would be a good idea to immediately connect with the audience.  So:
  - Most everyone has a mobile device.
    - /This is the most immediate and relatable since it's physically present/
      with them in their travels.
  - Security cameras et. al. during travel.

So start _briefly_ with the topic of pervasive surveillance?
  - That is what the abstract refers to, after all.

*Surreptitious*---many audience members won't consider that they're being
tracked.
  - But by _whom_?

Maybe a gentle introduction that gets increasingly more alarming and
invasive topic-wise.

GOAL: Captivate; Startle

None of you made it here without being tracked in some capacity.
Some of us are still being tracked at this very moment.

...

Let's start with the obvious.

(Note: You're being "tracked", rather than "watched": the latter is too
often used and dismissed as tinfoil-hat FUD.)

- <2> Excellent tracking devices

#+BEGIN_COMMENT
How many of you are carrying a mobile phone right now?
Probably most of us.
They are something we carry with us everywhere;
  they are computers that are always on.
A phone is often synonymous with an individual.
In other words: they're excellent tracking devices.

*** LACKING Cell Towers [0/2]
:PROPERTIES:
:DURATION: 00:01
:END:
**** DRAFT Fundamentally Needed
- <1-> Phone needs tower to make and receive calls
- <2-> Gives away approximate location (can triangulate)

#+BEGIN_COMMENT
The primary reason is inherent in a phone's design: cell towers.
A phone "needs" to be connected to a tower to make and receive calls.

Unless it is off,
  its connection to the cell tower exposes your approximate location.
These data persist for as long as the phone companies are willing to persist
it.  If it's mined by the NSA, then it might be persisted indefinitely.

Some people don't use phones primarily for this reason.

rms said he might use a phone if it could act as a pager,
  where he'd only need to expose his location once he is in a safe place.
You can imagine that such would be a very useful and important feature for
  reporters and dissidents as well.

**** LACKING Cell-Site Simulators
- <1-> Masquerade as cell towers
- <2-> (List them) e.g. Stingray

#+BEGIN_COMMENT
I'm sure many of you have heard of Cell Site Simulators;
  one of the most popular examples being the Stingray.
These devices masquerade as cell towers and can perform a dragnet search for
  an individual.
Your location can be triangulated.

**** DRAFT Wifi
- Device may broadcast ESSIDs of past hidden networks
- Expose unique hardware identifiers (MAC address)

#+BEGIN_COMMENT
What else is inherent in a modern phone design?
A common feature is Wifi.

If you connected to any hidden networks,
  your phone may broadcast that network name to see if it exists.

Your mobile device could be broadcasting information like past network
  connections and unique device identifiers (MAC),
  which can be used to uniquely identify you.
#+END_COMMENT

**** DEVOID Ubiquitous Access Points
- <AP stuff>

#+BEGIN_COMMENT
Access points increasingly line the streets or are within range in nearby
  buildings.

Can be incredibly accurate for tracking movements,
  and it is _passive_---it requires no software on your device.
#+END_COMMENT


**** DRAFT Mitigations
- Disable Wifi [when not in use]
- Do not automatically connect to known networks
  - At the very least, not hidden
- Randomize MAC address

#+BEGIN_COMMENT
Disable Wifi when not in use.
You can also randomize your MAC address,
  and be sure not to broadcast hidden networks.

Oh, but what if we _do_ have software on the device?
And we do.

Let's talk about location services!
Many people find them to be very convenient.

  it's often enabled.
And programs will track your movements just for the hell of it.

#+BEGIN_COMMENT
But GPS doesn't need to be available.
Have you ever used a map program on a computer that asked for your location?
How does it do that without GPS?
Google scours the planet recording APs.
It knows based on _what APs are simply near you_ where you are.
Sometimes this can be more accurate than GPS.
And it works where GPS and maybe even cell service don't, such as inside
  shopping malls.

So having radio and GPS off may not help you.
MAC spoofing won't help since software on your device has countless other
  ways to uniquely identify you---this is active monitoring, unlike previous
  examples.

It's excellent surveillance.
What irks me is when people try to take pictures of my kids,

Uh, no.  You cannot.

  encrypted with the public key of each server such that the first hop
  strips off the first layer and so on.
The exit node reveals the packet and delivers it to the destination,
  then begins relaying the reply back to through the network to the user.

As long as a sufficient portion of the network can be trusted and has not
  been compromised by an adversary,
  it isn't possible to trace data back through the network.

The most common use of Tor is to route web traffic.
Many nodes block most other ports.

* Exporting
You should be able to simply export this buffer as a Beamer presentation
(=C-c C-e l P=) and get a slideshow.

Note that this requires =ox-extras=, which is part of Org Mode's
=contrib/=.  Without it, the =:ignore:= tag will not be recognized and the
rendered slides will have incorrect depth.
