The Chaos Computer Club e. V. (CCC) is Europe’s largest association of hackers. For more than forty years we are providing information about technical and societal issues, such as surveillance, privacy, freedom of information, hacktivism, data security, and hacking. As the most influential hacker collective in Europe we organize campaigns, events, lobbying and publications as well as anonymizing services and communication infrastructure. There are many hackerspaces in and around Germany which belong to or share a common bond to the CCC as stated in our hacker ethics.
Since the first Congress in 1984, it has established itself as a seismograph in the friction zone between the tectonic plates of computer security, digital freedom, and critical reflection on technology’s impact on society. The vibrant worlds of hacking and underground culture, independent media, art and technology have convened annually during the Christmas and New Year period ever since.
