Black Hat Europe 2012 is close to us! And for me, even closer: After two years in Barcelona, the well-known security conference will come back to Amsterdam! New location but also a new format: The organizers decided to switch from a 2×2 days event (two days of trainings and two

First 2012 OWASP Belgium Chapter Meeting Wrap-Up
A new year started and why change good habits? I’m just back from the first OWASP Belgium Chapter meeting of 2012. Here is my quick wrap-up. The organization remains the same, the first few minutes were dedicated to some news from the OWASP organization given by Seba. A survey was
OWASP Benelux Days 2011 Wrap Up
The OWASP Benelux Days is a two-days event organized by three OWASP chapters (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg). The 2010 edition was organized in Eindhoven(NL).

SOURCE Barcelona 2011 Wrap-Up
The conference SOURCE Barcelona 2011 is already over. Waiting for my flight back to Belgium, it’s time for my wrap-up! This year, an OSSEC training was initially scheduled with my friend Wim Remes but it was cancelled due to the lack of registrations. It looks that “defensive” security trainings do
Show Me Your DNS Logs, I’ll Learn about You!

RSA Conference Europe 2011 Wrap-Up
This is my wrap-up of the last RSA Conference which occurred in London. As usual, it’s a mix of t-shirts and ties. But, vendors followed the rules of the game and came with less promotional material for their next-top-ultra-last-generation-solution-to-beat-all-hackers-from-outer-space. As usual, the first half-day was dedicated to keynotes with great
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
Hack.lu 2011 (Quick) Wrap Up
Here is my quick wrap up of my visit to hack.lu 2011. For those who do not know me, I’m a BruCON volunteer, busy with the network stuff. This year was very special, due to unforeseen circumstances, both conferences overlapped! BruCON (the talks) were scheduled Monday and Tuesday and Hack.lu
