Free software is a requirement for privacy and security. At Yale, we've been teaching cybersecurity, facilitating privacy workshops, and analyzing leaky mobile apps using only free software. We'll talk about a new class at Yale Law School, give a summary of this year's Yale Privacy Lab workshops, and provide insight from our collaborations with local makerspaces, Yale CEID, and MakeHaven. Come find out how we emphasize cybersecurity while keeping free software front and center. This session will include a MITM demonstration with a GNU/Linux minicomputer.
