This is my wrap-up for the 2nd day of “NGI†at TROOPERS. My first choice for today was “Authenticate like a boss†by Pete Herzog. This talk was less technical than expected but interesting. It focussed on a complex problem: Identification. It’s not only relevant for users but for anything

TROOPERS 2017 Day #1 Wrap-Up
I’m in Heidelberg (Germany) for the 10th edition of the TROOPERS conference. The regular talks are scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday. The two first days are reserved for some trainings and a pre-conference event called “NGI†for “Next Generation Internet†focusing on two hot topics: IPv6 and IoT. As said on
TROOPER 10 Ahead!
Next week, it’s already the 10th edition of the TROOPERS conference in Heidelberg, Germany. I’ll be present and cover the event via Twitter and daily wrap-ups. It will be my 3rd edition and since the beginning, I was impressed by the quality of the organization from the content point of view
Botconf 2016 Wrap-Up Day #3
It’s over! The 4th edition of Botconf just finished and I’m in the train back to Belgium writing the daily wrap-up. Yesterday, the reception was organized in a very nice place (the “Chapelle de la Trinitéâ€). Awesome place, awesome food, interesting chats as usual. To allow people to recover smoothly,

The second is over, so here is my daily wrap-up! After some welcomed coffee cups, it started sharp at 9AM with Christiaan Beek who spoke about Ransomware: “Ransomware & Beyondâ€. When I read the title, my first reaction was “What can be said in a conference like Botconf about ransomware?”.

Debriefing the BruCON Network
The eighth BruCON edition is already over! Don’t expect a wrap-up because I just don’t have time. I’m always keeping an eye on the attendees’ bits & bytes! Based on the first feedback that I received from attendees and speakers, it was another good edition but, from a network point
Hack.lu 2016 Wrap-Up Day #3
The third day is already over! I’m just back at home so it’s time for a last quick wrap-up before recovering before BruCON which is organized next week! Damien Cauquil started the first batch of talks with a presentation of his new framework: “BTLEJuice: the Bluetooth Smart Man In The Middle
Hack.lu 2016 Wrap-Up Day #2
I’m just back from the second day of hack.lu. The day started early with Patrice Auffret about Metabrik! Patrice is a Perl addict and developed lot of CPAN modules like Net::Packet or Net:Frame. That’s why he had the idea to write a new UNIX shell working like a Perl interpreter.
