About me

My name is Valentin Höbel (Hoebel) and I am living in Munich, Germany. I am mainly focused on virtualization (especially Xen), IT-Security and Linux. In my spare time I do some security research, consume Scifi stuff and hang out with my friends. Like all real geeks I love watching movies alot.

This blog was created for sharing the stuff I have in mind, but most of the blog entries will be about IT security or vulnerabilities I discovered. Please feel free to contact me if you have any feedback, questions or simply want to drop a short notice.

Please notice that no blog entry is published in order to cause any damage or to motivate people harming something/someone. I believe in the fact that information should be free and shared among each other. It is not my responsibility if someone abuses the knowledge which can be found here. Please always respect and know your local laws.

The blog was created for educational purposes only, e.g. for helping you how to do penetration testing on web apps. If there is any legal issue you need to solve, please contact me first before suing me. Thanks.

For software vendors
If you are a software vendor (web-apps, extensions for CMS, websites) and need help on pen-testing your own website you may contact me at any time. If I have time I am willing to be a helping hand! I do this for free since I believe in having a certain responsibility. It is always great when security enthusiasts not only publish vulnerabilities but also help the vendors to fix them.

If I discovered a vulnerability in your software and you want to drop me an email because of complaining or needing help I will take the time to respond to your request.
