census participated in the free/open source event held last month (Friday 23rd of October) at the Hellenic Air Force Academy (Σχολή Ικάρων).

Our talk presented an overview of the available free/open source software that can be used to build complete security solutions for public offices and infrastructure. Furthermore, we analysed recorded cyberwarfare incidents and how the open source model can aid in establishing robust defenses. The slides from our presentation are available here (in Greek).

We would like to cordially thank Professor Antonios Andreatos for inviting us to the event and for his organisational efforts.

The slides from our secure programming in C talk at the 4th Greek Free/Open Source Developer Conference are now available at the research section.

census will be participating in the 4th Greek Free/Open Source Developer Conference organized by EL/LAK in Athens, Greece on the 19th and 20th of June!

Our talk on Saturday will focus on security issues that manifest during software development using the C programming language. Although there has been extensive coverage of this topic in the past, our presentation will provide an up-to-date analysis of programming bugs that potentially lead to security issues.

During the lunch break on Saturday there will also be a PGP/CACert key signing party. See here for more details (in Greek).

We hope to see you there!

Last May (2008/05/30) I presented my research on FreeBSD kernel stack overflows at the University of Piraeus Software Libre Society, Event #16: Computer Security. The slides from the talk are now available in our research section.
