IL.Hack 2009 Logo A week ago on Sunday I’ve attended IL.Hack – the Israeli hacking convention for 2009. I really enjoyed the convention and I think the Israeli hacking community need this kind of event at least once a year. I’d like to thank Yaniv Meron (Lament), the convention entrepreneur and organizer for making it all happen. I sure was skeptical about this convention at first but it turned out to be great.
The best part of the convention for me was meeting everyone, either if it’s people I’ve already knew or new people I’ve met, making new connections and sharing information.
The lectures was not as professional as I’d expect them to be but hey, I guess when you plan a lecture to a variety of people with different levels of knowledge it can’t be truly hardcore.
The first lecture by Jonathan Klinger (blog) about hacker films and the hacker image was really awful in my opinion. Klinger didn’t pass the point of the lecture quite well, his presentation was far from being done and he always got mixed up with the movie snippets he wanted to show. The second lecture by Yaniv Meron about Steganography was too basic in my opinion. Yaniv demonstrate two messages hiding techniques, the first was hiding a message within a bitmap file and the second within a sound file. I can compare it to a lecture about Cryptography demonstrating something as basic as Caesar cipher. Yaniv didn’t show any tools that can be used for Steganography (both hiding and unhiding data), didn’t talk about the history of Steganography science and didn’t give any mitigation techniques and protections against Steganography attacks (for example, stealing data from your company). Anyway, I didn’t went to the rest of the lectures, I heard the third one about web sites security was also very basic, demonstrating plain XSS and CSRF attacks. But, I also heard the last two lectures were good.

To sum it up, IL.Hack 2009 was great, I had a lot of fun and I hope next year it will be even more.
See you on IL.Hack 2010.

New dawn

Posted by Trancer on Aug 06 2008

I’m glad to announce that after more then one year of inactivity I’m reviving Recognize-Security.

As I stated a year and a half ago in the blog first post, Recognize-Security is NOT a community web site. The project started about 2 years ago with the purpose to educate and contribute to the Israeli hacking and security community. Well, the community sucks and the scene is fucked up. There’s only a rare group of people playing their magic over the wire that I can say that they have what it takes.
One of them is a great friend and a co-worker, Exodus, managing his own security web site – BlackHat Security.

By-the-way, jsz, the founder of Recognize-Security is no longer with us. No no he’s not dead… just quit the scene.

I guess every end is a beginning of something…

Welcome to Recognize-Security.

I’d like to clear a few things before we start:

There is NO Rec-Sec eZine! stop calling us\sending emails!

This site from now on will be a blog. not a community site. why, you ask? ‘cuz you (yes, you, the community) sucks! …ok, most of you.

That’s the same reason we’re not releasing (and won’t release) an eZine.

So what this blog is all about? This will be a place for Rec-Sec members and I will post interesting stuff here, links to articles, our own articles, Israeli sites hacks and defacements (NOT BY US), security news and etc’…

Think you got something interesting to say? email us and we’ll post it here under your name.
