== Abstract ==
In conjunction with Micah’s talk (“Hacks, Leaks, and Revelations: The Art of Analyzing Hacked and Leaked Data”), he will be teaching a workshop specifically about one of the datasets: BlueLeaks. In the summer of 2020, during the BLM uprising, someone hacked hundreds of U.S. law enforcement websites and leaked the data to Distributed Denial of Secrets. The dataset contains evidence of police misconduct. In this workshop, he’ll share a copy of the BlueLeaks dataset - which is full of documents marked “Law Enforcement Sensitive,” including from agencies like FBI and DHS - with all participants and teach you how to start analyzing it. Specifically, you’ll learn how to run custom software Micah wrote called BlueLeaks Explorer directly on your laptop, running inside Docker containers. Bring a laptop running Linux, Windows, or macOS and, if possible, an external hard disk. You’ll need about 300GB of free disk space.
