Luxembourg (Europe)

Here at SnT, our own Prof. Tegawendé F. Bissyandé has won a prestigious European Research Council (ERC) grant to research new tools that will revolutionise the way software repair — especially the bug response process — is handled. His project, NATURAL, will explore how natural language processing (NLP) technology can be used to automate the bug-response process.

Bissyandé’s ERC grant is a Starting Grant, which supports up-and-coming young researchers with stellar research track records. It provides the NATURAL project with a total of 1.5 million Euros in funding.

The hack.lu team organizes an Open Source Security Software Hackathon on May 2nd and 3rd at the University of Luxembourg (SnT) in the JFK Building in Kirchberg.

This 2-day Hackathon is dedicated to free/open source software. The aim is to gather various developer groups to collaborate on challenging programming problems in the field of cybersecurity (from information sharing, network/system forensic, data mining challenges or even crypto-currencies).

“Since 12 years, our team organizes the hack.lu security conference, which brings many security professionals together. We have observed that many people and organizations create open source software to support their security activities, ranging from reverse engineering, digital forensic, incident response (DFIR), threat analysis to network security.

Many of the security tools are developed on a long-term commitment and they provide viable solutions to improve security globally. In order to support the continuity of innovation, development and integration of such open source security tools, we have decided to organize this Hackathon and bring people together”, explains Alexandre Dulaunoy from Hack.lu.
