Bold Statements
Following my work with the FreeBSD implementation of RFC 6980 I was happy to present my work at last week’s DENOG 9 meeting.
To make it available to anyone who did not meet me there and go into some more detail that would have exceeded the boundaries of the talk, I will cover the topic here.

Continue readingTROOPERS17 was unlike any TROOPERS we had known before. Everything just seemed bolder, better, and beyond our expectations. From surprise speakers like the grugq (do you have a follow-up talk for #TR18 by the way?) to new speakers who are now TROOPERS family, TROOPERS17 is one for the history books!
If you were there you might be wondering to yourself, how could they possibly top it (and if you were not there check out this video from TR17)? Well, I am not going to lie, it will be a challenge. However, the high quality of talk and training submissions for this year have us feeling pretty positive about making #TR18 the “best year ever”!
With that being said I am happy to introduce the first official 5 talks of TROOPERS18!

Continue readingFrom October 17th – 19th I had the chance to attend my first DockerCon Europe 2017.
The conference was very well organized and attendee focused, which could be seen by the many little details found on the conference. For example you never ran out of coffee or beverages, there was a new Hallway Track where you could meet people from all disciplines, discuss about your favorite topics and there was always a place to sit and take a break between all those interesting presentations. I had the chance to speak to very nice people from different industries, most importantly in my case on the topic security. It was nice to see how the Docker community is growing and the adoption rate is increasing, especially in companies. The main focus of the conference (especially seen in talks held by people from Docker Inc.) was the Docker Enterprise Edition.

Continue readingWe are super excited for TROOPERS18 (March 12-16th, 2018) as are many of you! We even have this great saying that “after TROOPERS is before TROOPERS”, which means we spend a lot of time looking through feedback from attendees, speakers/trainers, and our own Crew for ways to not only top what we’ve done in the years before, but also how to simply make it better for everyone involved. Looking around at our Crew we realized how many have either attended TROOPERS or other conferences as students. We heard from them, as well as other students, how life changing it was to be able, as a student, to attend an IT-Security conference. How they got to meet a speaker whose work they’d read about in class. How people felt even more a part of the community they were studying hard to belong to. Continue reading “TROOPERS for Students!”
Continue readingThis is my short write up on Daycon X1, 2017. The summit was held at Dayton, the land where Wright brothers were born. Apart from being my first US trip, I also gave my first training on Hacking 101 also called the Bootcamp.
Continue readingLast week I had the pleasure to participate at the first RIPE IoT Roundtable Meeting in Leeds (thanks! to Marco Hogewoning for organising it). It was a day with many fruitful discussions. I particularly enjoyed Robert Kisteleki‘s talk on RIPE NCC’s own design & (security) process considerations in the context of RIPE Atlas (at TR17 NGI there was an intro to Atlas, too).
In this post I’d like to quickly lay out the main points of my own contribution on “Balanced Security for IPv6 CPE Revisited” (the slides can be found here).

Continue readingSome of our Troopers had the chance to visit HITCON conference in Taiwan this year. There are two main events: HITCON Pacific, which is aimed more at corporate attendees and HITCON CMT, the community edition, which aims at students and the general Infosec community. HITCON is the biggest security conference in Taiwan.

Continue readingAs mentioned in my last blogpost, I had the pleasure to participate in this years DFRWS USA and present our paper. The paper and presentation can be freely viewed and downloaded here or here. Note that there is also an extended version of the paper, which can be downloaded here.
The keepassx, zsh and heap analysis plugins are now also part of the Rekall release candidate 1.7.0RC1, so it’s easier to get started.
The conference had some great talks and workshops, which I’m going to briefly sum up.

The 11th USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT17) took place the last two days in Vancouver. Some colleagues and I had the chance to attend and enjoy the presentations of all accepted papers of this rather small, single-track co-located USENIX event. Unfortunately, the talks have not been recorded. However, all the papers should be available on the website. It’s worth taking a look at all of the papers, but these are some presentations that we’ve enjoyed: Continue reading “11th USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT17)”
