Hackers.mu organised another great hackathon

Operation PB

Why PB?
After Operation S.A.D and W.T.F, here comes operation P.B!

Playing with fire in jail

Operation Prison Break was a third hackathon organised by members of hackers.mu. It was a hackathon held in Lescalier, in a hall.

Sandboxing profile for xzdec
I personally worked on a project name the xzdec which is a decompressing tool. It was cool to learn a little bit more on topics concerning security of people.

Basically what it does, it decompresses files with .xz extension.

Instead of finding flaws, unlike previous hackathons, this time we're looking at ways to reduce the impact of vulnerabilities in popular linux softwares.

Technology keeps on evolving everyday and developers constantly look for more and more things to get their hands-on. In this article, I will be introducing a new full stack framework, called FReMP .

Examples of such operations can be machine learning and artificial intelligence operations, web scraping tools or digital image processing.
