“La Nuit du Hack” is a well-known event organized since 2004 (!) by Sysdream and HZV in Paris. I went to the 2010 edition, my wrap-up is available here. This last edition was victim of its success and access to the boat (yes, it was organized on a boat!) was

InfoSecurity.be
Just after BlackHat Europe, InfoSecurity Belgium was organized in Brussels this week. Something completely different: other atmosphere, other people, business oriented. It is the place to be for Belgian people working in information security. To make a rough comparison, suits and ties are at InfoSecurity what t-shirts are at BlackHat.
#BlackHatEU Day-1 Wrap-up
The first day started (too) early with Rafal Los’s (@Wh1t3Rabbit) briefing about “Defying Logic – Theory, Design, and Implementation of Complex Systems for Testing Application Logic“. Rafal explained some techniques not “brand new” but which are really interesting. The goal of application logic testing is to discover what an application
BlackHat Europe 2011
BlackHat stopped in Barcelona for the 2011 European edition. Second time at the same place, the “Palau de Congressos de Catalunya“. Same format as the previous editions: two days of trainings and two days of briefings. Strange, lot of trainings were canceled! Is it due to the crisis and less

Security B-Sides … Because Quality is not Always Expensive

There are plenty of ways to keep learning: books, forums, podcasts. Those are based on self-learning. Trainings and security conferences
Keep Big Brother away from Your Privacy!
Tomorrow, Friday 28th (or today depending on your timezone) is the Data Privacy Day. Today’s technologies make our day so funny. Could you imagine going back to the eighties and live without Internet, mobile phones, GPS, social networks, credit cards? Funny but so easy to divert and abuse. All services
Use your Logs to Detect Fraud
I was invited by the ISSA Belgium chapter to talk last night about log management & SIEM (“Security Information and Event Management“). This is a very interesting topic but almost everything has been said (good as bad) on SIEM. I decided to innovate and to use some articles posted in
My Wish List for 2011
2010 is almost over and 2011 is already at our door! In a few days, a lot of us will (try to) detach from the regular business and go back to family and friends to spend good times. It’s time to make some planning, reserve enough off-days and setup my
