-#### On a Mission with NATO: Cyber Defence on the Frontline
-
 Howest’s ongoing commitment to world-class cybersecurity training took center stage again as six lecturers from the Cyber Security program joined forces with experts from Latvia, Luxembourg and Belgium in one of NATO's most intensive simulations: the Locked Shields exercise, hosted by the Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE). Now in its fifth year of participation, the Howest team shared their firsthand experiences at a special evening talk at Howest Bruges.

 These files serve as portable job definitions. When DRMDTool detects or receives a `.drmd` file, it parses the items, decodes or downloads the MPD, applies the keys, and builds a download command using N\_m3u8DL-RE. Files are saved in organized directories like `Movies/Title` or `Series/Title/Season`, and subtitles are embedded if available. Pausing, resuming, and aborting downloads is supported per file.
