It’s time to give you the solution to this small challenge. It

Pass-The-Salt 2019 Wrap-Up
This week, the second edition of “Pass-The-Salt” was organized in Lille, France. The conference was based on the same format at last year and organized at the same location (see my previous diary). I like this kind of event where you can really meet people (the number of attendees was
OSSEC Conference 2019 Wrap-Up
I’m in Washington, waiting for my flight back to Belgium. I just attended the 2019 edition of the OSSEC Conference, well more precisely, close to Washington in Herndon, VA. This was my first one and I’ve been honoured to be invited to speak at the event. OSSEC is a very

Post-BruCON Experience – Running a Wall of Sheep in the Wild
The use of a wall of sheep (or WoS) is nice to raise the security awareness of your audience. A WoS is a tool used to demonstrate what can happen when users connect to a wild network without a minimum level of security.

Hack.lu 2018 Wrap-Up Day #3
Here we go with the last wrap-up of the 2018 edition! The first presentation was about worms: “Worms that turn: nematodes and neotodes” by Matt Wixey. The first slide contained the mention: “for educational purposes only”. What could we expect? The idea of the research performed by Matt was interesting.
Hack.lu 2018 Wrap-Up Day #2
The second day started early with an eye-opener talk: “IPC – the broken dream of inherent security” by Thanh Bui. IPC or “Inter-Process Communications” are everywhere. You can compare them as a network connection between a client and a server but inside the operating system. The idea of Thanh’s research was
