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

The first slide contained the mention: “for educational purposes only”. What could we expect? The idea of the research performed by Matt was interesting.
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
The 14th edition (!) of hack.lu is ongoing in Luxembourg. I arrived yesterday to attend the MISP summit which was a success. It’s great to see that more and more people are using this information sharing platform to fight bad guys! Today, the conference officially started with the regular talk. I
