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.
