Hacking and Securing C++ - Marcell Juhasz

📢 Main event starts at 18:30 CET
✨ This time we welcome Marcell Juhasz as our main speaker!

Marcell is an Embedded Software Engineer with a deep passion for modern C++, specializing in C++ development on Linux platforms in resource-constrained environments. He has explored how to harness the language’s power to write efficient, secure, and reliable software.

Everyone has heard the warnings about buffer overflows, use-after-free, memory corruption, and other infamous vulnerabilities lurking in low-level code. But many developers accept that these traps should be avoided without truly understanding how the exploits work. Using a simple embedded device as playground, Marcell shows us hands-on examples of how memory vulnerabilities arise, how they’re exploited, and why they’re dangerous.

But this evening isn’t just about breaking things—it’s about building them right. Discover how modern C++ techniques like smart pointers, bounded containers, and RAII can effectively prevent these issues. By understanding the risks and confidently applying C++ best practices, every developer can write safer, more robust code!
