Nils Rollshausen
Somehow — and without ever having owned more than an iPod — Nils fell down the Apple rabbit hole and now spends their days reverse-engineering Apple’s devices and uncovering the bits of magic hiding inside the machines that surround us every day. They are interested in all things privacy & security and like to build new things every now and then, instead of only breaking what’s already there. Currently, they are pursuing a PhD in computer science at the Secure Mobile Networking Lab (SEEMOO) of TU Darmstadt.

The tech giants tell us their walled gardens are there to protect us, keeping our data safe. But can we use their ecosystems against them? In this talk, we explore how Apple's implicit trust in their own hardware allows us to steal passwords and other sensitive data from your iPhone.

And — if the stars align — you'll learn a fun new way to use your badge...
