BruCON Security Conference
A colleague pointed me to a new Security Conference named Brucon that will be held on 18-19
September in Brussels (Belgium) this year. There's not an awful lot of
information available yet, but it seems like the organisers are
ambitious and see it rather big for a first timer. Although I am
hesitant, I'm curious if this will be a success and will try to attend
the event at least on the 19th.
