The past ph-neutral security conferences in Berlin I have attended were all very fun, laid back, and informative.  The European security “underground” scene is highly refreshing after so many high cost US conferences.  Additionally the people are excellent and provide for good conversations.  This years ph-neutral was no exception and was held at an Island club, providing more space for this ever growing conference.  This year was packed as usual with a record high of 450 pre-registrations.

I originally wrote Peach 1 at ph-neutral 4 or 5 years ago, so it seemed fitting to come back and talk about Peach 2.  I had a blast and look forward to next year.

Silly bug got into the 2.1 release that caused the <Number> type to stop working (oops!), fixed and a new release pushed up.

Peach 2.0 development is rocking, here is a quick look at Peach Builder, a GUI for creating Peach 2.0 DDL files.  Peach builder will make fuzzer development much easier and faster.

Working from coffee shops has been a source of hate and discontent in my life for some time.  After finally getting a spot on some small table I find the internet connection is fully saturated by hipsters logged into MySpace.  VPN?  Hell NO!  Arrg!  Waist of time.  Back to the house it is, no social interaction for me today.  Entering from stage left is a new hspda laptop card.  I’m not convinced it will do much for me, when has the cell network ever been fast.  Rumors of speed form Asia are just that to me.  Hrmm… connected… speed test… BINGO!  Doing over 700 down, 200 up with 3 (of 5) bars, rocking the vpn, sharing my connection out to friends, and generally happy with life in the coffee shop again.
