Post #BruCON Network Analyzis
BruCON is over! As usual, when I attended a security conference, I’m trying to write a small wrap-up for me followers. With BruCON, it’s completely different: I’m on the other side of the stage. For the “0x03” edition, I was again involved in the “bits & bytes” stuff. I did

Use your Logs to Detect Fraud
I was invited by the ISSA Belgium chapter to talk last night about log management & SIEM (“Security Information and Event Management“). This is a very interesting topic but almost everything has been said (good as bad) on SIEM. I decided to innovate and to use some articles posted in

BruCON is already over! Two exciting days spent with most of the top security speakers coming from several continents. I usually write a quick review of the presentations I followed during a security conferences but BruCON is something different: I’m behind the stage. Like last year, I gave some of
