I’m sure most of you already know the name HackInTheBox, but for those that don’t you’ve been really missing out something great. HackInTheBox has been going since early 2000 growing from a website into a big player in the live event space with conferences in Asia and the Middle East, but also a great community built around open discussion and information. For the first time since it’s inception however, HITB are running a European edition, to be held at the end of end of June/Beginning of July in Amsterdam. What a better place to promote “Keeping Knowledge Free” than one of the freest cities in Europe 😉

I was lucky enough to sit down with L33tdawg and Fish from the HackInTheBox crew to discuss the up coming conference and why they think it’s a different kind of conference compared to the others currently doing the rounds. The agenda (PDF) certainly looks interesting, and I’m kicking myself that I can’t attend personally. Alongside the presentations there will also be a number of labs and shorter lightening talks taking place, so there are things to keep everybody busy.

You can find the audio of my interview with L33tdawg and Fish on the Eurotrash Security Podcast RSS feed, or directly download it from here.
