Best papers from the experts all over the world
Interesting technical speeches will be given by the planet’s best speakers. Only hot research, actual problems and real attacks. A paper like those is what shows you that anything you might buy or use is vulnerable in one way or the other.

Workshops by the world-class professionals
This year, we have prepared unique workshops for you. Where else do they show you how to write exploits, to bypass the defense of OS and browsers, to find vulnerabilities in web projects? Practical knowledge fortified by theory is priceless.

For the first edition of the conference, EuroNOG Committee has invited several foreign guests, who shared their knowledge and experience. We should especially mention Ivan Pepelnjak, Jan Zorz, Greg Ferro, Pierre Francois, Peter-Paul Engelen, Mats Lindmark and Jan Daan Luycks.
