In order to prevent these attacks on our privacy\, an impor tant step is to **identify any vulnerabilities** in the computer systems that store our private data before those faults can be used to steal th e data. And that's where **penetration testing** comes in. Penetration testing\, or "\;pentesting\,"\; is a process of attacking compu ter systems in order to find security weaknesses so that they can be fix ed before criminals and other malicious actors find and take advantage o f them. \;\n \;\nPlease join us for a fascinating presentation tha t will examine some common computer attacks and preventative steps that we can take to avoid them. **Karl Fosaaen\,** from **NetSPI\,** will ta lk about working as a pentester and will discuss avoiding exploits in ap plications and networks and how to counter social engineering attacks.&# 13\;\n \;\n**We'll have snacks\,** and there will be an opportunity f or networking following the talk. We hope to see you there! \;\n \;\n**Speaker Bio:** \;\n \;\nKarl is a Managing Consultant with N etSPI who specializes in network and web application penetration testing . With over eight years of consulting experience in the computer securit y industry\, he has worked in a variety of industries and has made his w ay through many Active Directory domains. Karl also holds a BS in Comput er Science from the University of Minnesota. This year\, he has spent a fair amount of time digging into the Skype for Business APIs. Prior to t hat\, Karl has helped build out and maintain NetSPI's GPU cracking boxes . Karl has previously spoken at THOTCON\, BSidesMSP\, BSidesPDX\, and De rbyCon.

Those protections required Inter net Service Providers (ISPs) to get permission from their users before s elling user data to third parties. Now\, ISPs will be able to sell our Internet browsing histories and other data to the highest bidder. \;\ n \;\nBut wait… You don't have to give them all of your data! \;\ n \;\nYou can instead use Tor\, also known as The Onion Router\, to e ncrypt your search requests and browsing activity and route your Interne t traffic through a distributed network of relays (run by volunteers aro und the world) in order to protect your privacy. Tor prevents anyone wa tching your Internet connection from seeing your location or which websi tes you visit. It can also help you to access blocked sites. \;\n 3\;\nAlison Macrina\, from the Library Freedom Project will be talking t o both groups\, Seattle TA3M and us\, via teleconference. She'll explai n how Tor works\, how you can set it up\, and how you can help Tor to ma ke the network more secure for all users. \;\n \;\nWe'll have snac ks\, and there will be an opportunity for networking following the talk.

The problem is that federal regulators have decided that\, inste ad of regulating\, they would rely on competition\, but competition does n't occur naturally because of the de facto requirement to build your ow n infrastructure in order to compete. This leaves users vulnerable to ec onomic predation by the owners of the infrastructure. \;\n \;\nMun icipal Broadband PDX is a newly formed group that wants to solve this pr oblem by creating a publicly-owned network infrastructure. \;\n \; \nRussell Senior\, a member of Municipal Broadband PDX and president of the Personal Telco Project\, has been advocating for this type of infras tructure for years. He'll talk to us about federal policy\, the monopol istic conditions that result\, and the abuses those monopolistic conditi ons allow. He'll also explain how a public telecommunications utility s olves these problems and what such a network might look like. There wil l be a short video included in the presentation. \;\n \;\nPlease j oin us for this informative presentation and discussion!

The Personal Telco Project is a vo lunteer-based non-profit in Portland\, founded in November 2000\, that c ares about network freedom. We operate public-access wifi networks in a bout about 60 locations around the area\, where other volunteers have ag reed to host them (you can too!). About 120\,000 unique devices connect to our networks annually. About 5\,000 of those are habitual users. I f you connect to one of our networks\, we don't know who you are\, and w e don't care what you do\; we just ask you not to get the host of the ne twork in trouble. Russell has been President of Personal Telco since 20 09. \;\n \;\nRussell has had a 20+ year career as a research progr ammer and data manager. He did a 13-month hitch at the National Science Foundation funded Science and Technology Center for Coastal Margin Obse rvation and Prediction in 2015-2016 and got to work on ocean glider and fixed station measurement data. He did a week-long research cruise from Newport\, Oregon to about Longview\, Washington on the Columbia River\, mapping the ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore mesh network they use\, as w ell as participating in vertical profiling of the ocean\, estuary and ri ver waters. Russell has been using Linux since 1992 and has been doing embedded Linux programming\, primarily OpenWrt/LEDE on wireless routers for over a decade and has helped develop wifi-based consumer products.&# 13\;\n \;\n \;\nBy attending this TA3M meeting\, you agree to foll ow our Code of Conduct: \;\nhttps://www.meetup.com/Portlands-Techno-A ctivism-3rd-Mondays/pages/22681732/Code_of_Conduct/ \;\n \;\n{shor t} Code of Conduct \;\nPortland's Techno-Activism 3rd Mondays is dedi cated to providing an informative and positive experience for everyone w ho participates in or supports our community\, regardless of gender\, ge nder identity and expression\, sexual orientation\, ability\, physical a ppearance\, body size\, race\, ethnicity\, age\, religion\, socioeconomi c status\, caste\, or creed. \;\n \;\nOur events are intended to e ducate and share information related to technology and activism\, and an yone who is there for this purpose is welcome.

If you live in Oregon or Washington state\, your face data is stored in you r state's driver license database. Both states use facial recognition so ftware to prevent driver license fraud and neither currently shares thei r databases with law enforcement. But what if that changes? \;\n \ ;\nFacial recognition can be useful for some things\, like unlocking our phones\, but companies and governments can also use the technology for their own purposes — without our consent. While the technology has made great advances in accuracy\, many programs still have difficulty with da rker faces\, women\, and children. And a number of questions still exist in other areas including privacy\, consent\, discrimination\, and wheth er the technology will be used for general\, suspicionless surveillance. \;\n \;\nClare Garvie and her colleagues at Georgetown Law's Cent er on Privacy and Technology did a year-long investigation on police use of facial recognition\, and the result of their research is a paper cal led "\;The Perpetual Line-Up: Unregulated Police Face Recognition in America"\; (https://www.perpetuallineup.org/). She'll share insight s from the study and tell us how the information has already been put to use in shaping policy for the use of facial recognition technology by g overnment.

There are many potential ben efits to be gained from AI\, but there are also a number of concerns abo ut how it will affect our lives moving into the future. What exactly is artificial intelligence anyway? \;\n \;\nIn 1986\, the mathematici an and philosopher Gian-Carlo Rota wrote\, “I wonder whether or when art ificial intelligence will ever crash the barrier of meaning.” Here\, the phrase “barrier of meaning” refers to a belief about humans versus mach ines. Humans are able to “actually understand” the situations they encou nter\, whereas AI systems (at least current ones) do not possess such un derstanding. The internal representations learned by (or programmed into ) AI systems do not capture the rich “meanings” that humans bring to bea r in perception\, language\, and reasoning. \;\n \;\nIn this talk\ , Melanie Mitchell\, a professor of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at Portland State University\, will assess the state of the art of artificial intelligence in several domains and describe some of thei r current limitations and vulnerabilities\, which can be accounted for b y a lack of true understanding of the domains they work in. \;\n \ ;\nAudience participation in the discussion will be encouraged\, and tog ether\, we'll explore the following questions: \;\n - To be reliable in human domains\, what do AI systems actually need to “understand”? \;\n - Which domains require human-like understanding? \;\n - What do es such understanding entail? \;\n \;\n \;\nJoin us for a great presentation and discussion about artificial intelligence!

With the first\, the City joined a group of thi rteen other cities in addressing use of the technology by public agencie s. Portland went a step further\, though\, and became the first city in the US\, and possibly the world\, to also ban use of facial recognition technology by private entities! \;\n \;\nWhile banning facial reco gnition limits tracking of our faces as we go about our daily lives\, a number of other biometric technologies such as gait recognition\, iris a nd retina scans\, and heartbeat recognition can be used to work around t hese bans. Even non-biometric technologies\, like automatic license plat e readers (ALPR) and social media monitoring\, can also be used to track our movements and actions. For this reason\, the City must also conside r limiting use of other surveillance technologies and create a broader s urveillance ordinance. \;\n \;\nSeveral US cities\, including Seat tle\, Oakland\, and Somerville\, MA\, have adopted such ordinances\, whi ch typically require public input as well as City Council approval befor e surveillance technologies can be used by government agencies. \;\n& #13\;\nThis presentation will cover a brief overview of the Seattle Surv eillance Ordinance\, recommendations for Portland privacy/tech activists about passing a Portland Surveillance Ordinance\, and recent activism h appening regarding the use of biometric technologies at the Port of Seat tle (namely at SeaTac airport). The overarching focus will be more on sp ecific takeaways for Portland based on what activists have learned in Se attle. It will also touch on the broader collection of biometric informa tion. Since Seattle has one of the earliest Surveillance Ordinances in t he nation\, it also has a number of imperfections (like any beta or v1 s oftware). There are some important lessons that Portland could learn fro m Seattle\, in the hopes of Portland eventually having a stronger Survei llance Ordinance of its own. \;\n \;\nThe first roughly 45 minutes will consist of the presentation and the remaining time is set aside fo r questions and discussion. Please bring your questions! We hope for a l ively and interactive discussion after the presentation. \;\n \;\n Speaker bio: \;\n \;\nThe speaker has nearly a decade of experienc e working in tech\, primarily in cybersecurity.

Which of these technologies are cur rently being used in Portland\, and what are the policies for their use? How do we know if usage or policies change? \;\n \;\nThere are ma ny factors to consider when adopting surveillance technologies like thes e: What are the costs and benefits? When\, and in what manner\, will a c apability be used? Who will be the target of surveillance? Will it make us safer? What are we giving up in exchange for that safety? And should a particular technology be adopted at all? \;\n \;\nIn order to an swer these questions\, some cities—like Cambridge\, New Orleans\, San Fr ancisco\, Oakland\, and Seattle—have passed ordinances that regulate the acquisition and use of surveillance technologies. These ordinances ofte n require the approval of a city council or other legislative body befor e a city agency can acquire a particular technology or change the way in which a current technology is used. \;\n \;\nShould Portland pass this type of ordinance\, and if so\, how might the law work? \;\n 3\;\nOn March 15th\, join us for a combined event\, with local privacy g roup PDX Privacy\, where we'll ask our insightful panelists the answers to these questions.

Whil e enactment of these facial recognition bans is an important local victo ry in the fight to protect our biometric privacy\, what about use of fac ial recognition by the federal government? \;\n \;\nFederal agenci es are exempt from local laws\, and although a number of national privac y bills are currently under consideration in Congress\, some of those bi lls would preempt state and local privacy laws like ours. To review the current federal proposals\, take a look at the great bill tracker by the International Association of Privacy Professionals located here: \;\ nhttps://iapp.org/resources/article/us-federal-privacy-legislation-track er/ \;\n \;\nWondering which of these bills has the best chance of becoming law?

This policy will create the transparency and accountabil ity processes for use and purchase of surveillance technologies. It will also define roles and responsibilities for decision making\, oversight\ , and implementing aspects of this policy. \;\n \;\nThe Smart City PDX program and the Office of Equity and Human Rights are coordinating policy development actions\, including policy drafting\, City of Portlan d agencies coordination\, and public engagement. \;\n \;\nThese po licies need to be informed by those most impacted. Negative impacts of s urveillance technologies are disproportionately experienced by Black\, I ndigenous\, and People of Color communities. Abuses derived from surveil lance technologies can endanger people’s freedoms\, civil rights\, and l iberties. \;\n \;\nExisting Portland policies define surveillance technologies as any software\, electronic device\, system utilizing an e lectronic device\, or similar used\, designed\, or primarily intended to collect\, retain\, analyze\, process\, or share audio\, electronic\, vi sual\, location\, thermal\, olfactory\, biometric\, or similar informati on specifically associated with\, or capable of being associated with\, any individual or group. \;\n \;\nThis definition covers certain s urveillance technologies\; however\, emergent technologies\, including a rtificial intelligence and predictive inference algorithms\, are not nec essarily covered by this definition. The City is exploring an updated de finition of surveillance technologies that includes these new and emerge nt information technologies. \;\n \;\nRead more about the policy r oadmap and engagement plan here: \;\nhttps://www.smartcitypdx.com/new s/2021/8/11/the-city-of-portland-starts-the-work-developing-its-surveill ance-policy \;\n\n\nTags: pdx\, surveillance\, Smart City PDX\, ta3m\ , Cascadia Partners\, Office of Equity and Human Rights\, PDX Privacy\n\ nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250478013 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portlands-Techno-Activism-3rd-Mondays/events/2 82416108/ SUMMARY:Surveillance technologies policy development codesign event LOCATION:Online: placeholder for on-line events\, SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220107T174115Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220118T190000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220118T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220107T174115Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220107T174115Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250478043 DESCRIPTION:***NOTE: this meeting is on the 3rd TUESDAY because of the Ma rtin Luther King\, Jr. holiday on Monday!*** \;\n \;\nThe 2020s ha ve seen new and complex challenges for those fighting for reproductive f reedom. In September of last year\, the Texas legislature passed one of the most restrictive abortion bans in the nation\, prohibiting all proce dures after 6 weeks\, without exceptions for rape or incest. But SB8 goe s further\, giving citizens with no connection to the woman the right to sue in civil court any person who aids her in seeking an abortion. As P lanned Parenthood states\, this means that “private citizens can sue oth er Texans for having or aiding in the procurement of an abortion — they can sue anyone from the person who drives the patient to the clinic to t he doctor who performs the abortion.” (https://www.plannedparenthoodacti on.org/planned-parenthood-pennsylvania-advocates/blog/how-did-texas-get- to-sb8) As the EFF predicts\, “The result will be a chilling effect on s peech and a litigation cudgel that will be used to silence those who see k to give women truthful information about their reproductive options.”& #13\;\n \;\nSince 2017\, the Digital Defense Fund has brought enginee rs and organizers together to provide security and technology support fo r the abortion access movement.

Proponen ts argue that cellphone voting could increase voter turnout\, and voting from the comfort of your mobile phone sounds easy\, right? But is it re ally a good idea? \;\n \;\nBefore giving this technology a stamp o f approval\, we need to consider some of the issues around the process o f electronic voting. For example\, is it secure? Does it protect voter p rivacy? And how would we verify election results? \;\n \;\nDr. Ste phanie Singer and Sheila Golden have been focused on election systems fo r many years. Ms. Golden is well known in Oregon for her advocacy around election technology\, while Dr. Singer is known nationwide for her expe rtise on election technology and processes. They'll join us this month t o explore the pros and cons of voting via cellphone and will explain how such a system would work\, who's behind the effort to adopt mobile voti ng\, and why voting from our phones may or may not be a good course of a ction. \;\n \;\nBring your questions\, and come learn how you can make your voice heard on this issue! \;\n \;\nPlease RSVP via Meet up or by sending an email to ta3mevents@pdxprivacy.org. \;\n \;\n& #13\;\nSpeaker bios: \;\n \;\nSheila Golden is an activist focusin g on election integrity\, civil liberties/immigrant rights\, and climate justice.

In response\, the City of Portland commi ssioned a task force to study the issue and recommend actions that city commissioners can take to address the issue and solve the problem (reduc e gun violence). After several months of meetings\, the Focused Interven tion Team / Community Oversight Group (FIT/COG) submitted a recommendati on to Mayor Ted Wheeler in favor of adopting ShotSpotter gunshot detecti on technology. \;\n \;\nWhat is ShotSpotter\, and how does it work ?

What are the trade- offs\, and would the benefits outweigh the costs — in terms of both fina ncial and negative impacts to the community? \;\n \;\nJoin us for a two-part event to learn more about ShotSpotter and other gunshot detec tion systems and forms of acoustic surveillance! Decide for yourself whe ther this tool might be effective in solving Portland's gun violence pro blem. \;\n \;\nDuring the event's first half\, learn from our pane lists how ShotSpotter and other gunshot detection technologies work and how they've performed in other cities. \;\n \;\nThe second half of the meeting will be a workshop\, where you can learn more about what ha ppens with the FIT/COG recommendation.

But drones have their dark sides\, and their potential for invasive o ver-surveillance and harmful privacy impacts is profound. \;\n \;\ nPortland City Council voted unanimously in September to expand Portland Police Bureau’s drone program. Join Portland Investigative Journalist a nd Researcher Kate Kaye to learn about Portland Police Bureau’s drones\, what these flying devices can do\, how police have actually used them\, and what city policy addressing drones and other surveillance tech does – and does not do. Kate will also share how others can help conduct sim ilar research\, and save lots of time for your questions. \;\n \;\ nDid you know: \;\n \;\n - Portland Police Bureau drone use has in creased drastically - rising from between six and 18 times each month fr om June 2023 through October 2024 to more than 40 times in November 2024 . \;\n \;\n - Some of Portland Police Bureau’s drones include came ras that can zoom-in on people and vehicles and track them from a far-of f distance. \;\n \;\n - In many cases\, PPB’s drones have been fl own in neighborhoods where more people of color live and where poverty r ates are higher than in other parts of the city and in Portland as a who le. \;\n \;\n - Portland Police have flown drones inside a family’ s apartment and to monitor or search for people including juveniles. \;\n \;\n - PPB’s gun violence unit has patrolled neighborhoods in un marked vehicles equipped with drones ready to deploy. \;\n \;\nPle ase RSVP via Meetup or by sending an email to events@ta3mportland.org.&# 13\;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker bio: \;\n \;\nKate Kaye is a journal ist and researcher living in north Portland.
