LSEC - Leaders in Security

Hacking for Beer

BruCON is an annual security and hacker(*) conference providing two days of an interesting atmosphere for open discussions of critical infosec issues, privacy, information technology and its cultural/technical implications on society. Organized in Brussels, BruCON offers a high quality line up of speakers, security challenges and interesting workshops. It’s affordable, accessible and entertaining. BruCON is a conference by and for the security and hacker(*) community.

(*)Hackers are “persons who delight in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular.” People who engage in illegal activities like unauthorized entry into computer systems are called crackers and don’t have anything to do with hacking. BruCON doesn’t promote any illegal activities and behavior. Many hackers today are employed by the security industry and test security software and systems to improve the security of our networks and applications. In addition, for the younger generations, we want to create some awareness and interest in IT students to learn more about IT Security.

Backgrounder

BruCON is organized by BruCON vzw as a non-profit event. A group of security enthusiasts decided that it was time in Belgium to have its own security and hacker conference. A lot of countries around the world have these kind of conferences to discuss and present research on computer security and related subject matters. We want to unite people who share the same passion and support the Belgian (research) communities, with BruCON as a yearly highlight. We are not professional organizers and started this as a non-profit organization. We all have full time jobs and dedicate a lot of our free time to this project. Everyone is welcome to join us and help!!
