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

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.

🎾 Milan Startup Padel – Founders & Rebels #29
*This club is for founders, VCs, operators, and startup ecosystem players — past, present, and future.*
Padel is one of those games you can pick up at any point in your life and immediately enjoy. You don't need to be fit, you don't need a background in racket sports, you just need to show up. The court is small enough that nothing feels out of reach, and the glass walls do half the work for you.
What makes it special is that you actually talk while you play. Between points, during rallies, after a shot that somehow worked — there's a natural rhythm to padel that makes conversation easy. You get to know your partner in a way that just doesn't happen sitting across a table.
We had a rally once that went on so long everyone stopped caring who won the point. That's kind of the spirit of the whole thing.
**🎯 What to Expect**
**Two courts, at least 8 players** — we rotate and run mini-tournaments when numbers allow. All levels, always.
**Real conversations** — with your partner, between points, after the game. No agenda.
**Competitive but Chill** — good plays, better laughs, and a rematch culture. 🔄
**💸 €15 per person** — pay before the game: [paypal.me/alexbing2](paypal.me/alexbing2) Paying upfront keeps the courts full and the group reliable. No last-minute ghosts. Arrive 15 minutes early to warm up and meet people.
**⚠️ Cancellation Policy**
Cancel at least 2 days before if you can't make it — someone on the waiting list will be very happy to take your spot. No-shows without notice lose their €15 deposit and get moved to the waiting list for future events.

Aperitivo and Hang-out in English
Hello everybody,
I usually look for events on Saturdays but I can hardly ever find any, so I asked myself, "Why don't I organise one ?" The idea is to meet at **Next Bar in Via Crema 7** (Very close to P.ta Romana underground station / yellow line) at **18:00** and hang out there for some time. You can also enjoy drinks and eat for 13 Euros (p.s. the buffet is mind-blowing).
Guests are required to buy their first drink upon entry.
I kindly encourage you to RSVP during the week if you can.
I really hope to meet you on Saturday! Don't worry if you can't see many people who've RSVPed, the event is advertised on other platforms, so there will be plenty of people to mingle with.
When you get there ask for **Riccardo**.
Feel free to WhatsApp me at **+39 334 283 1963**
During the event, you'll have the opportunity to join our WhatsApp group by scanning QR codes displayed on the tables to stay in touch.
Looking forward to a great time together!
Best regards,
Riccardo

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat.
But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
We’ll cover:
* What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot
* How agents break tasks into steps
* Where agents are genuinely useful today
* Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review
* How to design simple AI workflows for your own work
* A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish
No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
