GuadalajaraCon is a new security conference in Latin America (it started in 2012), that hosts high-level technical talks.
On its first edition we were able to see excellent material, focusing on cryptographic analysis and Routers penetration (The Routerpwn project).
With much joy I can tell you that the Call For Papers for the 2013 edition is now open 
So think of a good talk and submit it. But it has to be a good one!

I hope to see you there
We’re reminded by the sites we log in to, daily. It’s mentioned by every IT and Security guy all the time. However, people doesn’t comply.
Passwords must be changed regularly. Nobody likes to do it (except for some fanatics), but it’s a most needed task.
Today, February 1st, is the “International password change Day”, as a reminder and a motivator to do this tedious task.

While I was fighting with the port (it didn’t gave me link), a girl that was sitting next to me with her laptop came to me and said:
“Excuse me, but did you know you could log on via Wi-Fi?”
Clearly I didn’t explain what was going on, and simply answered:
“Oh, really?”
To what she answered:
“Yeah, just look for the network called [name-of-the-bar], and hit connect.”
I finally couldn’t connect to the bar’s wired network (the port was physically disconnected from the Switch) but the innocent comment from the girl cheered my afternoon
Last December 12th we closed the year in the best possible way, with a conference that gathered security professionals and hackers for a whole day. The event was fantastic and the place was full. Here is a summary of what happened:
Continuing with our free training events, we’re proud to present the event Mkit Angels and Demons.
Everything you haven’t seen about IT Security will be analyzed by experts during the event. Well-known professionals from industry, hackers and referents of the field will meet to expose their knowledge and experiences to establish two main perspectives about ITSec in Latin America.
