The Hack.lu team has organised an Open Source Security Software Hackathon for 2 and 3 May 2017 at the University of Luxembourg’s JFK Building in Kirchberg.
This two-day hackathon is dedicated to free/open source software and aims to gather various developer groups to collaborate on challenging programming problems in the field of cybersecurity, from information sharing and network/system forensic to data mining challenges or even crypto-currencies.
The Hack.lu security conference, which is in its 12th year, brings many security professionals together. Moreover, according to Alexandre Dulaunoy from Hack.lu, the team has “observed that many people and organisations create open source software to support their security activities, ranging from reverse engineering, digital forensic, incident response (DFIR), threat analysis to network security. Many of the security tools are developed on a long-term commitment and they provide viable solutions to improve security globally.”
The projects already listed at the conference are MISP, CVE search, AIL and Viper, among several others. Teams and individuals will be able to propose their own open source projects that they wish to work on.
On each day of the hackathon, doors will be open from 9:00 until 18:00.
The event is free of charge and open to all projects, developers and contributors who are part of open source projects placed in the security field.
