Black Hat Europe is Over…
End of four days of high quality conferences, social networking and fun! This was my first Black Hat experience and it was really exciting!

Back from FOSDEM
Back from FOSDEM! A few days ago, I posted here my schedule and it didn’t changed. The first three presentations were in the same room and covered security topics. The FOSDEM is an event for open-source developers and not fully dedicated to security like BruCON but developers must be aware
