I've been watching the live streams since 25c3. First of all, it's a great thing there are so many volunteers make such a big conference possible. Since the 4 years the c3 was a highlight in the year for me. But I have to say I was a bit disappointed this time. I don't know why exactly, but it seems to shift focus. The 3rd talk about osmocom is not that exciting, so is the n-th about hacking outdated wireless smartcards. Yes, electro mechanical instruments are fun, but I haven't seen much new and not a single line of code.

Maybe it's me, maybe it's the congress.

Probably it is the congress. ( At least I heard a few times that the congress should be more technical.) But on the other hand, the CCC becomes more and more visible in German politics. ( As the default experts for anything computer and 'cyber' related.) So I believe it is only logical that the congress also becomes more political.

Does anyone have some highlights or a suggested viewing list?

I haven't watched all of them yet, but my favorite so far is "Enemies of the State."

- Pagefault Liberation Army

Just a lot of fun ways to abuse x86 page tables.

- Low cost microprobing

This was probably the most practical explanation of what's involved in setting up a microprobe workstation that I've seen. Not a ton of depth, but interesting.

- Writing a Thumbdrive from Scratch

Starts with a good premise and goes into sufficient detail to be interesting.

- FactHacks

Best vaguely mathy talk. For some reason, I'm always surprised when I see video of djb -- he is a very good lecturer.

For some fun: Fnord News Show (translations should be included)

I've heard Everycook was good, too. Still need to watch it.

For some mathematics/security: Facthacks

Topmost on my to-watch list right now: Hacking Cisco phones.

How best should I extract the audio so I can listen to these as a podcast on my mp3 player? More specifically, I have an iPod with 20 GB of space, of which 4 is free. This is enough for a couple of videos, but it doesn't want to play the .mp4 file, and I would rather have a dozen audio recordings than one video one.

For those cases where I need to see the video in order to better understand the talk, I'll watch it on my lap/desktop.

Get the video with youtube-dl, then extract the audio using ffmpeg.

   $ youtube-dl -t "www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX-EUye66Bo"
   ---> will save into Video_Title_Name_YOUTUBEID.flv
   $ ffmpeg -i input_video.flv -acodec copy audio_only.aac
