Mobile Hackcenter
The mobile hackcenter is the center of our activity. It is built from donated hardware and travels around, appearing on camps and other temporary gatherings.
Main components
- Star (center of network, internet uplink)
- Planet (network distribution, core switches)
- Moon (public terminals)
- Asteroid (desktop switches, Freifunk nodes)
A self-contained flight case with rack-mounted components and upgrades like UPS, power distribution, etc. is suffixed with “Box” (i.e. StarBox).
Support
We provide a helpdesk at the hackcenter, care about the network and organize workshops.
Workshops
- linux desktop installation on an encrypted filesystem
- anonymous access to the net
- email security with OpenPGP
