PropLANE: Keeping the NSA from Watching You Pee
Rob Bathurst and Russ Rogers explores proplane: keeping the nsa from watching you pee at DEF CON 22, examining privacy and practical defenses.
Summary
Architecture and Background
PropLANE: Kind of keeping the NSA from watching you pee Rob Bathurst (EVILROB) Russ Rogers (RUSSR) Mark Carey (PHORKUS) Ryan Clarke (L0STBOY) No one likes to be watched, especially on the Internet. Your Internet…habits are only for you to know, not ISPs, hotels, government agencies, your neighbor, that creepy guy down the street with the cantenna, or anyone else. With your privacy in mind; we’ve combined two things every good hacker should have, a Propeller powered DEF CON badge (DC XX in our case) and a somewhat sober brain to turn the DC badge (with some modifications) into an inline network encryption device. This modified badge, loving called the PropLANE, will allow you to keep your peer-to-peer network traffic away from the prying eyes of the aforementioned creepy guy down the street and impress all the cool hacker peoples of the gender you prefer.
