Repression VS. Prevention
This morning, I retweeted a link to an article (in Dutch) published by a Belgian newspaper. It looks that Belgian municipalities (small as well as largest) which do not properly secure their data could be fined in a near future! Public services  manage a huge amount of private data about us. They

Didier developed a framework to perform forensic investigations on Cisco routers. His framework is called NAFT (“Network Appliance Forensic Toolkitâ€). It is written in Python and provides a
