AWS User group Milano - Meetup di Giugno
**DOVE**: [Subbyx](https://www.subbyx.com) \- Via G\.B\. Pergolesi 2/A\, Milano \(M1\, M2 \- Loreto\)\.
**QUANDO**: 04 giugno 2026 alle 18.30
**TEMA**: Cloud networking avanzato e Intelligenza Artificiale applicata al mondo reale. Nella sede di **Subbyx**, uniremo due dei temi più caldi dell'ecosistema tech in un'unica serata. Da un lato, **Kenneth Attard, AWS Hero,** ci mostrerà come modernizzare le reti enterprise combinando AWS Cloud WAN e Amazon VPC Lattice; dall'altro, il team di **Subbyx** ci aprirà il loro playbook per svelarci come portare l'AI in produzione per risolvere problemi concreti.
A seguire il classico aperitivo di networking, gentilmente offerto da **Subbyx**.
\-\-\-
**AGENDA**
👋 18.30 - Welcome!
☁️ 18.45 - Introduzione - **Francesco Durighetto** Duri Chief Research and Development Officer, Co-Founder di Subbix.
🎤 18.50 - Discover how to modernize enterprise networking by combining AWS Cloud WAN and Amazon VPC Lattice - **Kenneth Attard** (talk in inglese).
🎤 19:20 - AI that works: our real-world playbook - **Davide Fiacconi** Senior Data Scientist di Subbyx.
🍻 19.50 - Aperitivo di Networking
\-\-\-
**TALK**
**"Discover how to modernize enterprise networking by combining AWS Cloud WAN and Amazon VPC Lattice"**
**Kennet Attard -** AWS Hero (talk in inglese)
Discover how to modernize enterprise networking by combining AWS Cloud WAN and Amazon VPC Lattice. This session explores the seamless integration of these services to create a unified networking solution that simplifies connectivity across your organization.
Learn how to leverage Cloud WAN for global network management while using VPC Lattice for service-to-service communication, reducing complexity and improving security.
We'll share real-world architectures and best practices for implementing a modern, scalable network infrastructure in AWS.
**"AI that works: our real-world playbook"**
**Davide Fiacconi** \- Senior Data Scientist di Subbyx
Tutti stanno rilasciando demo di AI.
Portare l'AI in produzione — dove ci sono clienti reali, flussi di lavoro reali e soldi veri in gioco — è tutta un'altra storia.
Da Subbyx non facciamo pilot: gestiamo sistemi AI che parlano con i nostri utenti ogni giorno e su cui si appoggia ogni team dell'azienda.
In questo talk ripercorreremo due casi reali.
Il primo è Rosie, il nostro agente per il customer care che gestisce le richieste degli utenti in autonomia, dall'inizio alla fine.
Il secondo è la nostra piattaforma AI interna, costruita interamente su open source — LiteLLM, LibreChat e server MCP — per dare a ogni dipendente accesso a più modelli attraverso un'unica interfaccia centralizzata e governata.
Uscirete con decisioni architetturali concrete, i trade-off che le hanno guidate e le lezioni che avremmo voluto sentirci dire prima di iniziare.

Italian Conversation Club — The Village (Real Practice, Real Confidence)
**You’ve been living in Italy for months… maybe even years…**
**but you still don’t really *live* in Italian.**
You understand.
You try.
But when it’s time to speak, something holds you back.
Not enough practice.
Too much pressure.
Or simply… no space that feels safe enough.
I know this, because I’ve lived it.
Learning the local language is what finally made me feel at home.
That’s why I created this.
**Welcome to The Village — a space to *experience* Italian, not just learn it.**
This is for you if:
– you want to actually speak, not just listen
– you’re willing to make mistakes and grow from them
– you value connection, presence and a positive group energy
– you’re ready to step out of your comfort zone (gently, but consistently)
This is **not** a traditional class.
And it’s not for passive learners.
In The Village, we:
– practice real-life conversations
– use role play, games and embodied exercises
– support each other (no judgment, no pressure)
– build confidence session after session
The goal is simple:
to help you feel more at home in Italy — in your body, and in your voice.
I guide the space to make sure everyone speaks, feels included, and grows.
**Small group. Real connection. Consistent practice.**
If this resonates, contact me and I will share all details to attend:

Bug Bounty, Ethical Hacking & the Art of Triage in Modern Security Programs
The Milano Cybersecurity Meetup returns with an edition dedicated to offensive security and Bug Bounty programs, no longer just about finding vulnerabilities, but about managing noise, prioritizing risk, and building trust between organizations and security researchers. The event focuses on the role of the Ethical Hacker and the critical, often misunderstood, role of the triager, the professional who bridges vulnerability discovery with actionable remediation.The meetup will close with a talk by Sw33tLie, one of the main contributors to PortSwigger’s latest research, exploring the discovery and exploitation of HTTP Request Smuggling vulnerabilities in modern architectures.
This evening event combines focused technical talks with an informal aperitivo atmosphere, where hoodies replace ties and technical content meets open discussion and networking.
Co-organized with UNGUESS Security, a European Continuous Offensive Platform backed by a community of 200+ vetted ethical hackers and AI agents, the event offers a unique chance to hear from practitioners on different sides of the hacking process. The event will also welcome representatives from Intigriti, including Alex Olsen, Head of Hackers, who will join us to make the evening even more exciting.
## **Key Themes & Takeaways**
*“Today, being an ethical hacker means staying ahead of attackers, finding the bugs and fixing risk before it’s exploited by malicious actors.”*
* Finding bugs for learning, passion, and profit, and building a legal career path by hacking real organizations responsibly
* What makes a great triager in bug hunting programs - skills, mindset, and career paths
* How triage quality impacts program ROI, security outcomes, and researcher trust
* Dealing with AI-generated submissions ("AI slop") and the triager’s evolving role as quality gatekeeper, separating signal from noise
* Some of the most impactful vulnerabilities originate from protocol‑level flaws, turning seemingly theoretical research into systemic risk for large‑scale infrastructures and forcing modern triage to reassess impact and prioritization
## **Agenda**
* **Talk #1 — My path to Bug Bounty (Leo Racanelli, Intigriti Ambassador)**
Hacking real organizations (legally) for fun and profit
* **Talk #2 — Anatomy of a Triage: From vulnerability submission to validation (Marco Mazzola, UNGUESS Triager)**
What happens between “submission received” and “vulnerability confirmed.” A deep dive into the triager’s workflow
What researchers wish triagers understood. How triage quality shapes submission quality and vice versa
How AI-generated submissions are flooding programs, why most are noise, and what a good triage policy looks like
* **Talk #3 — Mutations of a Bug: Where HTTP Smuggling Is Heading (Paolo Arnolfo, aka Sw33tLie — 1st researcher on the Portugal Bugcrowd leaderboard)**
An evolution-driven look at HTTP Request Smuggling: how exploitation techniques mutate over time, why old assumptions no longer hold, and what this means for modern triage, detection, and remediation

## What we’re about
Buongiorno a tutti. Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille.

Rassegna gratuita “Concerti in cortile”: Duo Lulù – Note sul set
**[PRENOTAZIONI QUI](https://www.eventbrite.it/e/rassegna-gratuita-concerti-in-cortile-duo-lulu-note-sul-set-tickets-1989461773720?aff=oddtdtcreator)**
Domenica 7 giugno alle ore 18.30, la **rassegna gratuita** “Concerti in cortile” termina con il duo Lulù e il concerto “Note sul set”, in programma presso Slow Mill, in Via Volturno 32 a Milano.
**IL DUO**
“Note sul set” è un concerto per duo violino e violoncello interamente dedicato alle **colonne sonore** che hanno fatto la storia **del cinema** e della televisione. Un viaggio attraverso le musiche originali dei più grandi compositori per lo schermo: dai capolavori di Ennio Morricone — il poeta indiscusso della colonna sonora — alle note indimenticabili di Nino Rota, dalle emozioni travolgenti di Hans Zimmer alle lacrime silenziose di Michael Giacchino, fino ai temi iconici che ancora oggi risuonano nelle sale di tutto il mondo.
Violino e violoncello si fanno orchestra, rievocando le atmosfere di film leggendari — *Il Padrino*, *Cinema Paradiso*, *C’era una volta il West*, *La vita è bella*, *Il Gladiatore* — senza immagini, eppure con tutto davanti agli occhi.
Perché le grandi colonne sonore non hanno bisogno dello schermo per farti rivivere ogni scena.

Drunken Philosophy: Are you really who you think you are? What is the "self"?
I have been studying the question of "self" online with Prof. Ellie Anderson and so I thought a prompt on the "self" might be interesting. Full confession: I had Claude create this prompt and I like it, so here goes:
Imagine a thought experiment that merges two classic puzzles:
> You undergo a procedure, performed neuron by neuron, in which every biological component of your brain is replaced with a functionally identical synthetic substitute. At each step, your behavior, memories, and personality remain unchanged. When the last neuron is swapped, is the consciousness experiencing the world still you? And — more pressingly — was there ever a continuous "you" to begin with?
### Questions to Wrestle With
* If consciousness is purely physical, does the *gradual* nature of the replacement matter, or is it equivalent to being destroyed and rebuilt?
* Could there be a "self" without continuity of experience — even moment to moment, while you sleep?
On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients — people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed — often retain a strong sense of personal identity and continuity. This suggests "you" are not rigidly tied to specific physical material. But does that vindicate the synthetic neuron case, or merely show that identity is more *flexible* than we thought — not that it can survive *complete* substrate replacement?
I used Claude so I could get this out today and let everyone have some time to consider it. Hope to see you at the Oracle. Sorry about the location change two weeks ago. That's what I get for trusting local weather predictions!
