I mentioned before that the classic song Viva Las Vegas will be soon replaced by Viva KL or Viva Dubai. The excellent Hack in the box conference series continue to deliver high quality content on very accessible prices, especially for those orbiting the APAC regions, providing a great option to the Blackhat for those not willing to take long flights to the US or Europe.

I was presented to the HiTB conference by a good friend, emx who strongly recommended the conference. He was 100% right and last year conference in Kuala Lumpur proved to be a great source of novelty and polemics, including the already famous Keynote by Marcus Ranum where you can see the humble owner of this blog trying to annoy the talented speaker.(Ranum is indeed a great speaker) :-)

For those with no download quotas, the HiTB organizers uploaded the conference videos to The Pirate Bay and despite the large size of the torrents, you should check it out.
