GNUCITIZEN

If you are following with the latest updates on GNUCITIZEN you’ve probably noticed that we have most of our training events up now. You can even book online, which is neat.

At GNUCITIZEN we try to organize local training events almost every week where we teach the arts of offensive and defensive information security practices and research. All of our course offerings, even the core ones, are based on our extensive research work so there is a lot to learn. [...]

This is a quick announcement regarding GNUCITIZEN’s training events.

Now you can book an event of your choice from the form over here. We will get in touch with you as soon as we have a set date for the course of your choice. We are also planning to launch an initiative which have been on the drawing board for long time now. This is the GNUCITIZEN Briefings. I will provide more information on that one soon.

I need to do a lot of clean up work around all my projects. So, expect a series of quick posts.

In this post you will be able to find my slides from a quite cool event in Oslo. The topic is Web2.0 again.

The event was quite successful and I am looking forward to attending it again. Not to mention that Oslo was just brilliant compared to the bad weather in UK.

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 one. :)

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). [...]

The Hack in the Box (HITB) conference that took place in Dubai, was all in all great fun. I would like to personally thank Dhillon, Belinda, Amy and everybody else from the HITB crew for making this event possible and making sure that everybody had a good time. The devil is in the details and this is what makes HITB the best conference in Asia and the middle-east region. I am anxiously looking forward to HITB KL. [...]

The Black Hat Europe 2008 event took place on the 27th and 28th of March. In this post, you will be able to find information regarding my talk and research.

My presentation was titled Client-side Security. Here is the abstract:

The event was very interesting and very well organized. I met a lot of people and had very interesting discussions all together. You can download the conference materials from here. The paper is located here and the slides over here. [...]

I am just using the opportunity to let everybody (mainly pals who expect to see me there) know that I am heading off to Black Hat Europe 2008 in Amsterdam (as usual).

Supposedly, there are four full tracks for two days but I can see only two – or is that four track for two days – sounds more like it? I am speaking in track two on the first day, first slot, of the event, starting at 10:00 and finishing at 11:15, if everything goes as planned. [...]

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. [...]
