Here is my first wrap-up for the 6th edition of the Botconf security conference. Like the previous editions, the event is organized in a different location in France. This year, the beautiful city of Toulouse saw 400 people flying from all over the world to attend the conference dedicated to
I’m writing this quick wrap-up in Vienna, Austria where I attended my first DeepSec conference. This event was already on my schedule for a while but I never had a chance to come. This year, I submitted a training and I was accepted! Good opportunity to visit the beautiful city
I published the following diary on isc.sans.edu: “More obfuscated shell scripts: Fake MacOS Flash update”: Yesterday, I wrote a diary about a nice obfuscated shell script.
