Yes! Infosec conferences are back with in-person events! If we were able to attend virtual events from our sofa during the last two years, it’s much more fun to meet people “IRL” and have good times! Let’s hope that the pandemic will remain behind us. I should restart publishing some
I did not write any wrap-up for a while because we are all stuck at home and most conference organizers still decided to cancel live events (even if it seems to change by the end of 2021 where some nice events are already scheduled). For the second time, Pass-The-Salt was

The complete title of the talk was “Because ‘User Random’ isn’t everything: a deep dive into CSPRGNs in Operating Systems & Programming Languagesâ€. He started
Hack.lu is ongoing in Luxembourg, already the thirteen edition! I arrived yesterday to attend a pre-conference event: the MISP summit. Today the regular talks were scheduled.

I can’t remember why I started to write conference wrap-ups but it started in 2009 when I attended my first Hack.lu! I had a quick look at my blog archives and, until today, I wrote 184 wrap-ups! The initial idea was probably to bring some material to colleagues who did not
BruCON 0x09 is over! It’s time to have a look at the data captured during the last Thursday and Friday.
