February is usually a very slow month for PHPBenelux because we're recovering from the conference. Our 2014 New Year's resolution is to be less lazy and that's why we're already announcing our February meetup.

PHP in the Cloud (by Maarten Huijsman & Bert Wijnants)

We'll dive into the different options that are currently available. You'll get more insight on how to deploy, run and manage your PHP applications on PaaS or IaaS services. For example: heroku, php cloud, aws, google cloud, ... What are the pro's and the con's of each platform, why and when to use.

Code Obfuscation, PHP Shells & More: What hackers do once they get passed your code (by Mattias Geniar)

What happens when protecting applications fail? What do hackers do once they’ve gained access to your source code, database and server? This talk will highlight some of the code obfuscation techniques used by hackers, as well as PHP shells and other backdoors used to keep access to a system. This talk will also include several methods of scanning and fixing both applications and servers from a breach, finding malicious code and removing it.
