those interested in the area, in an informal, yet educational, and most of
the times highly technical.

[ == Call For Contributions/Speakers

demo.

(favored) or Hungarian.

As a speaker you can have either  20A minutes or 40 Aminute s lot to
present your topic.

[ == Hello workshop == ]

We all know there is a huge difference between seeing and doing. Real
knowledge grows from issuing your first command. Therefore, to help
visitors start off learning we organize hello workshops. Hello workshops
are short courses introducing basic/intermediate IT security skills.
Previous years included topics like:

Burp Extensions

A hello workshop should meet the following requirements:

participants bring their own equipment you should calculate with the
diversity;
a workshop will not have more than 16 attendees;
it should fit into  20 plus 20 minutes (seeing plus doing) from preparation
to takeAaways.
one workshop will be held  approx. 3 times during the two days

[ == Topics == ]

Here are some topics that we are especially interested in:

- Vulnerabilities at unexpected territories
