On the off chance you don't know BruCON (where have you been?). We host a 2-day Security and Hacking Conference full of interesting presentations, workshops and security challenges for about 600 attendees. BruCON is an open-minded gathering of people discussing computer security, privacy, and information technology. The conference tries to create bridges between the various actors active in the computer security world including (but not limited to) hackers, security professionals, security communities, non-profit organisations, CERTs, students, law enforcement agencies, and many more. Next to the conference we offer several world-class, deep-dive mostly offensive technical training courses given by the most recognised experts with huge industry experience in their domain! These training sessions take place twice a year, Spring Training takes places on 19, 20 and 21st of April 2017 (Registration and line-up here) and conference training tracks are on 2, 3 and 4th October 2017. Our slogan is "Hacking for Beer" of which you'll find plenty during and after the conference.

The conference will be held in Ghent on the 5th and 6th of October 2017. The training sessions will be held from 2nd until 4th of October 2017 (all courses start on the 2nd!).
