GreHack, Finding a home, and making a new setup

Now that I'm back in France, it's time for me to find a new place to live.

Also, this week was the Grehack, in Grenoble and that was awesome.

GreHack

I already attended this event two years ago and that was a very nice conference. So I decided to come back this year, and as I know more people there, that was awesome.

This conference takes place in Grenoble, the place where I started my studies. And I love this city, especially the view of all the mountains.

It was also the time for me to come back to see some friends and run with a teacher of mine.

The conference was nice and I saw the talk from @Mizu about Dom Purify and HTML parser and it was awesome. If you want to check this out :

I'm thrilled to finally share my research on HTML parsing and DOMPurify at @GreHack 2024 📜

It was also the to see again some friends and take some time with them.

I met in person @Lupin and @Rhynorater and it was fun to show him the French culture and the food you can find in Grenoble and the differences with the US.

The workshop from Rhynorater about Caido looked pretty promising and I didn't attend it, I was in another one, but I will certainly ask some friends who did it to get some tips he gave.

I also met Chris, a developer from Caido, and it was very nice meeting him in person to talk about the project and how it helps a lot.

Making a new setup

That being said, it's now time for me to make a new setup, not a nomad one but a static one.

I'm currently looking at a lot of different desks, ergonomic chairs, and screens.

I will probably go with a standing desk, a Herman Miller chair, and an UltraWide 35" screen,

But it can still change based on the offers of Black Friday.

Find a new home

Starting in December, I will move to Paris and work there. I'm really waiting for that as it's been a long time since I didn't stay in the same place for a long time.

With that, I will take more time going back on the projects I paused previously and also work more on hunting.

Speaking about hunting, I came back on a private project I loved and found some nice crits and high to cover my new expenses for the setup, so everything is perfect.

In the next weeks, I will also probably try to find some pentest contracts to get another income.
