BruCon 2010 Training & Conference Wrap-up
About this event
Brucon is a security conference held in Brussels, Belgium. This was the second year of Brucon and it was comprised of two days worth of training and two days worth of presentations. It’s a decent sized conference of about 300 people total, including speakers and attendees.
Everyone at the conference was extremely nice and very hospitable. The organizers went above and beyond to make sure that attendees had a good time, were able to get around the city and (most importantly) share ideas about information security in an open environment.

Students really like the ability to be able to run a Linux command and check the results from within a .audit file. - Making use of the API
