@dalias' reply:

While it was surely unintentional, your reply is quite similar to the cruelty of traditional rhetoric — wherein we shunned people for *using* & . Such users deserve sympathy and help toward more software freedom.

Same goes for -backed generative users.

              “From CLI to Platform: Building NetCarapace, a Secure and Open Source URL Checking Ecosystem” – Cédric Renzi
              Lightning Talk (5 minutes)

              Get a fast-paced 5-minute lightning talk on evolving a simple CLI tool into a full-fledged platform for automated URL threat detection. Built around the Fondation Restena use case, this session walks through how URL validation, security scoring, and threat intelligence can be integrated into a scalable system that prevents malicious links from ever reaching end users.

              From REST APIs and asynchronous job queues to MISP integration and real-world production lessons, the talk highlights how open-source tools can be orchestrated into a practical, community-driven security ecosystem. A glimpse into NetCarapace shows how lightweight tooling can evolve into powerful infrastructure for CSIRTs and beyond.

              Cédric Renzi is a generalist engineer with experience across multiple industries and domains, currently working on DevSecOps initiatives at Fondation Restena, focusing on building practical and scalable security solutions.
