SIPB Cluedumps are informal technical talks open to the entire MIT community. They cover topics that are of general interest, such as web browsers, and topics specifically for the MIT computing community, such as Zephyr and Scripts. Cluedumps are usually one to two hours long, and we provide snacks.

2016 Cluedumps
| Date: March 26, 2016, at 3:00 PM |
| Presenters: Will Vahle and Thomas Delgado |
| Location: 4-237 |
| Abstract: Using software-defined radio (SDR), a single piece of hardware can be rapidly repurposed into a wide variety of very different sorts of radio receivers without having to build and configure new hardware for each new band, modulation strategy, or error-correction scheme.
Join us as Will Vahle and Thomas Delgado show off some inexpensive, commercially-available hardware (the RTL-SDR) and talk about the toolchain required to use it. They'll demonstrate using SDR to listen to aircraft, maritime, and police radio, as well as FM broadcast stations. Also included: Van Eck and TEMPEST side-channel attacks, as well as receiving (but not decoding) cellular signals. |
| Date: March 30, 2016, at 7:00 PM |
| Presenters: Alex Chernyakhovsky |
| Location: 4-231 |
| Abstract: Alex works in Google's Content Delivery Network, and can discuss architecting clusters; load-balancing traffic; job scheduling; building distributed, replicated, highly available systems; operational considerations; how to achieve reliability; high-performance computing; and many related topics.
This will be an interactive, question-driven talk. Audience interaction is highly encouraged, and snacks will be served! |

[edit] A Paranoiac's Guide to Email Encryption
| Date: April 14, 2016, at 7:00 PM |
| Presenters: Samuel Dukhovni |
| Location: 4-153 |
| Notes: https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/how-use-pgp-linux |
| Abstract: Sick and tired of the NSA reading all of your emails? Samuel will walk through setting up PGP in Thunderbird, so you can have your top-secret communications encrypted end-to-end. Let's all pretend that not everything they need is in the metadata anyway! :D
Snacks will be served. Your taxes can wait. |
