Do you know anything about hacking?
In Europe, this practice has a bad reputation and is perceived negatively. To understand this, it is important to distinguish between “hackers” and “hackers”.
The term ‘hacker’ simply refers to anyone capable of analyzing a system in depth.
Certain countries, notably Anglo-Saxon and Germanic, were quick to appreciate the importance of hackers within the community. Present for several years among the world’s largest companies, they put their knowledge at the service of their security and the evolution of cutting-edge technologies.
In 2009, the Wikileaks scandal highlighted the use of technology in the United States to carry out mass surveillance of the population. From this date, the world of hackers took on an enormous political aspect. They went from being “guardians” to being “hack-tivists”.
This is how movements like that of the ” Anonymous “.
The question of online privacy and offline is international in scope. From an ordinary citizen to a company, no one is safe from a violation of their privacy.
There data security being a real issue, solutions and events are beginning to appear and become democratized.
Initiated in 2003 by the Hackerz Voice team, and inspired by the infamous DEF CON (https://www.defcon.org/) in Las Vegas, the ‘Nuit du Hack’ http://www.nuitduhack.com/ is one of the oldest French-speaking underground hacking conferences.
This event aims to bring together IT security professionals and hackers of all levels through conferences, workshops and, of course, “raids”.
Participants, called “hunters,” go looking for “bugs” or “flaws” in the system. They have a deadline and must respect predefined rules. When proof of “vulnerability” is provided, the “hunter” is compensated with a Bounty http://www.nuitduhack.com/challenges-nuit-du-hack. The amount is determined by the seriousness of the “loophole” found.
As one of our founders is very involved in the world of security, this event is particularly important for him.
We happily accepted Hackerz Voice’s invitation to participate in ‘Hack Night’, submitting the site qwanturank to ‘attacks’. The objective is to integrate into the hacker community, test the security of our infrastructures and discover new talents. E. Leandri.
Come to DisneyLand Paris on June 28 and 29 to spend two unforgettable days at the heart of the hacker community with key players.
