On June 26, a collaboration agreement has been signed between the Royal Military Academy and the Cyber Command for research projects within the framework of the DIRS (Defence, Industry and Research Strategy).
ReadWriting unit tests is considered a good development habit for numerous reasons. Indeed, unit tests guarantee that the code works as expected, and they prevent developers from accidentally breaking things. Finally, they allow to see how the program is improving with each new commit, and they can be used as documentation to show how the program should be used by others. In this blog post, we show a simple way to implement unit tests when you are writing C code.
ReadToday representatives from the Royal Military Academy, Naval Group, Howest, NVISO and PR0PH3CY signed a partnership agreement to create the Naval Cyber Alliance.

But between the different versions, the libraries, and managing the PATH, the task can be quite of a challenge! In this blog post we show how Anaconda can help...
ReadPublication Offensive Security
Due to the numerous advantages of machine learning (ML) algorithms, many applications now incorporate them. However, many studies in the field of image classification have shown that MLs can be fooled by a variety of adversarial attacks. This raises many questions in the cybersecurity field, where a growing number of researchers are recently investigating the feasibility of such attacks against machine learning-based security systems, such as intrusion detection systems.
