Interest in information security or may be hacking seems to be really growing in India. Immediately after the first malware conference ended in Mumbai, another conference 'ClubHack' commenced in Pune. ClubHack is not new, it is India's first hacking convention and this was their 4th year. It's one of my favourite events and I make sure to attend every year, however this year I could just attend the technical briefings and missed the workshops and panel discussions.

The briefings surely had enough of good quality stuff to make it worth travelling all the way to Pune. It was great to learn about Android issues from an expert who has developed the most popular Android app 'Antivirus Free'. The session on Firefox security was also an eye-opener making us understand how easy it was to write a malicious extension for the browser and even easier was their installation. Another interesting presentation was about cloud computing for forensics in which it was demonstrated how to make the time consuming tasks in forensic analysis quicker and that to at a highly reduced cost.

Rohit and his team have been doing a fabulous job of conducting the conference each year and regularly publishing the ClubHack Magazine.
