Eclectic Security

The summer edition of “nothing will happen” is over. NWH is a series of meetings of hackers from all over former Yugoslavia. The gatherings are very informal and relaxed, non-attendance fee is required, but the informations that you  receive/exchange are invaluable. High level seminars of programming such LISP and python and the latest tricks about IPV6 and distributed computing are just an example. Again the summer edition was held in split (Croatia) inside a student dormitory, the building is located just in front of the sea, so you could take a swim between coffee breaks. This year we had an additions event inside NWH, the Outlaws & Inlaws uncoference. They have explored the two sided of free culture vs. piracy debate, and the upcoming challenge of a sustainable and equal technological development. Guest of the Outlaws & Inlaws where Bodó Balazs, Erdgeist, Benjamin Mako Hill,Jan Gerber, Paul Keller, Sebastian Lütgert, Alan Toner, members of Slovenian and Serbian pirate parties.

Despite the tight program and the temperature, I managed to give my speech, The biggest hack of history ( Defeating the (in)security of the military classified networks.), an analytic view about the latest leak of U.S classified document published by wikileaks. My analysis explored the weakness and the poor infosec culture of who is in charge to protect and monitor the military networks such SIPRNet and JWICS. I was very impressed about the level of attention, none were on twitter ,  this talk was also the chance to speak about Bradley Manning, the alleged leaker of the documents and the worldwide support network . After the closing ceremony we ended to a restaurant for the dinner and between a beer and a glass of wine, we were discussing about the winter edition of “nothing will happen”. You are invited.
