This year’s OWASP Europe event was based in Ghent, Belgium. I had to take an early train from London to Brussels, which is by the way dead easy. As usual the event was excellent.
Now there were a few funny things but the most funnies of all was that I’ve got flagged by Seba for having a sales pitch within my slides. Actually, my intentions were totally different. Moreover, it is silly to sell very niche services to wide-range of Web app guys. I will never do that. [...]
CONFidence was great! We would like to thank to Andrzej, Anna and everybody else in the CONFidence team for making this event one of the greatest experiences of a lifetime. Thanks again. We are looking forward for the next event. :)
There were many interesting presentations. We’ve tried to attend all of them although it was really hard to do so when the weather in Krakow was so nice (very different from the weather conditions in cloudy/rainy London). [...]

We are not dead just yet. Actually, we’ve been quite busy working on new projects, developing new ideas and in general innovating things to the edge of extreme.
If you haven’t noticed yet, SecUrls.com is back online but this time better, faster and a lot stronger. Keep an eye on this one as you will see a lot of development happening on this project.
Speaking about development, we finally kicked off the Spin Hunters.org organizational site. [...]
One of the things I like about the hacker/security community is how much ideas exchanging takes place. Most researchers soon realize that there is nothing like a good session of sharing ideas with other peers in order to come up with even more interesting thoughts!
We’re happy to say that GNUCITIZEN will be part of one of the events we were the most interested in: HITB Dubai 2008. [...]
