'''Upcoming Brisbane Chapter Meeting - Thursday 29th November 2018'''

OWASP Brisbane is ramping up again!

''Speaker: Alex Penrose''

''Topic'': Recent security and privacy breaches highlighted the need for an increased focus on security, however this can be at odds with tight deadlines. How does one test for security vulnerabilities, and is there such a thing as too much security? JollyFrogs (aka Alex) will demonstrate a vulnerable fictitious banking application and a popular method that hackers use to find vulnerabilities in code, which you can use during software development. Also, he will demonstrate how to wrap additional protection around a finished software executable with a focus on reducing development effort.

''Location'': Humanised Group Offices, 19/160 Ann St, Brisbane City QLD 4000

''Time:'' 5:30pm for a 6pm start. Lifts will be locked after 6pm. Please arrive before then!

''Date:'' Thursday 29th November

''Close:'' Session is expected to be completed by 7:30pm to 8:00pm.

''RSVP:'' There are limited seats. Please RSVP at https://www.meetup.com/en-AU/OWASP-Brisbane-Application-Security/events/256463756/

'''Next Brisbane Chapter Meeting - Wednesday April 10, 2013'''

In April's meeting, Ben Waugh's presentation will be on the topic "How does an organisation embed a secure development life-cycle into a highly distributed (both physically and structurally) software development environment comprising hundreds of developers?".

Since joining the security industry from a software development background, Ben has worked in the financial services industry advising to projects on a range of security issues as well as developing and implementing various technologies to improve detection of malicious or fraudulent activity. However, he has most enjoyed his role driving development of an application security program from the ground up. In his spare time he dabbles in a number of security (and non-security) software projects, including the BeEF framework.

Ben will present how to use a number of OWASP tools, including OpenSAMMM, ZAP as well as some home-grown initiatives, to win over developers and management as part of a lightweight and agile application security program.

Please note that the meeting is on WEDNESDAY night, instead of the usual Tuesday.

''Venue:'' Red Hat Offices, Level 1, 193 North Quay, Brisbane.

''Time:'' 5:30pm for a 6pm start. Lifts to Level 1 will be locked after 6pm. Please arrive before then!

Hello everyone! We hope you've all had a fantastic start to the year!

We will be starting 2013 with Scott Brown presenting at March's Brisbane OWASP chapter meeting.

Scott's now fighting the good fight, working for CERT Australia.  

Scott will present on two topics that have had a real impact on Australian based businesses, both in terms of reputation and dollars. Ransomware and VOIP fraud have both made the media several times in the last few months. Come along to hear a little more about both topics and some recommendations to avoid falling victim to either.

''Venue:'' Red Hat Offices, Level 1, 193 North Quay, Brisbane.

''Time:'' 5:30pm for a 6pm start. Lifts to Level 1 will be locked after 6pm. Please arrive before then!

We would like to thank him for his efforts and look forward to building the chapter as a team this year.

For those that aren’t aware, there is an OWASP Appsec Asia Pacific Conference this year held in Sydney from 11-14 April. Justin Derry, as the co-chair of the planning committee, will tell us about all the cool stuff planned for the conference and what’s happening in OWASP Australia in April’s meeting.

For more details on the conference, go to https://www.owasp.org/index.php/AppSecAsiaPac2012.

''Next Brisbane Chapter Meeting - Tuesday 3rd April''

In April's OWASP Brisbane Chapter meeting, Paul Ducklin will present a session titled "Search Engine Poisoning". Last time Paul presented the seats were fully booked out within a week. If you don't want to miss out this time around be sure to RSVP below.

Find out how search engine poisoning works, and why it's not just lazy or gullible users who fall for online scams such as fake anti-virus software. This live demo will give you a quick "look behind the scenes" at how cybercrooks use legitimate websites to help them trick the major search engines and peddle their scareware.

Paul Ducklin has the grandiose job title of "Head of Technology, Asia Pacific" at Sophos. But don't let that put you off. Paul is one of the world's leading security experts, and loves to share his knowledge. He is an entertaining and sought-after presenter world-wide. In 2009, he won the inaugural AusCERT Director's Award for Individual Excellence in Information Security.

''Venue'': Red Hat, Level 1, 193 North Quay, Brisbane.

''Time'': 5:30pm for a 6pm start. '''Access to the buliding will be restricted after 6pm. Please arrive before then!'''

We just want to stress that as long as the topic is security related – we’re all ears! We’re just a bunch of nice people wanting to learn/share our knowledge of the security domain. So if you would like to present or know of someone that does, please contact us.

Presentations must be vendor agnostic (no selling of products or services), and please review the Speaker Agreement linked above.

''Next Brisbane Chapter Meeting - Tuesday 3rd April''

In April's OWASP Brisbane Chapter meeting, Paul Ducklin will present a session titled "Search Engine Poisoning". Last time Paul presented the seats were fully booked out within a week. If you don't want to miss out this time around be sure to RSVP below.

Find out how search engine poisoning works, and why it's not just lazy or gullible users who fall for online scams such as fake anti-virus software. This live demo will give you a quick "look behind the scenes" at how cybercrooks use legitimate websites to help them trick the major search engines and peddle their scareware.

Paul Ducklin has the grandiose job title of "Head of Technology, Asia Pacific" at Sophos. But don't let that put you off. Paul is one of the world's leading security experts, and loves to share his knowledge. He is an entertaining and sought-after presenter world-wide. In 2009, he won the inaugural AusCERT Director's Award for Individual Excellence in Information Security.

''Venue'': Red Hat, Level 1, 193 North Quay, Brisbane.

''Time'': 5:30pm for a 6pm start. '''Access to the buliding will be restricted after 6pm. Please arrive before then!'''

''Close'': Session is expected to be completed by 7:30pm.

''RSVP'': Online at http://owasp-brisbane.eventbrite.com

There will be a social gathering at a local hostelry afterwards. Everyone is welcome to attend!

== '''MARCH MEETING POSTPONED!'''==

'''Sorry! Due to unforeseen circumstances we've had to postpone tonight's meeting, apologies for the short notice!'''

'''We'll update you all when we have a revised date, probably next week.'''

It’s been a while! We hope that all of you had a wonderful time with family and friends over the Christmas/New Year break, and we're sure that you’re all ready for more OWASP geekiness.

We do have a few exciting announcements...

Firstly, we would like to welcome David Jorm to the chapter leader’s team. As most of you are aware, David’s been helping us behind the scenes with organising the meetings for a while and has become an integral part of the team. We would like to thank him for his efforts and look forward to building the chapter as a team this year.

Next on the list, we have also secured presenters for the March and April OWASP meetings. Justin Derry will be presenting at the meeting on March 13th on Cloud Security and Paul Ducklin will be presenting at the April meeting.

Also, for those that aren’t aware, there is an OWASP Appsec Asia Pacific Conference this year held in Sydney from 11-14 April. Justin Derry, as the co-chair of the planning committee, will also tell us about all the cool stuff planned for the conference and what’s happening in OWASP Australia in March’s meeting. For more details on the conference, go to https://www.owasp.org/index.php/AppSecAsiaPac2012.

''Next Brisbane Chapter Meeting - Tuesday 13th March''

In March's OWASP Brisbane Chapter meeting, Justin Derry will be presenting a session titled ''Cloud Security - A case study on security myths and what to watch out for''.

This presentation takes us through two real-world examples of deploying high risk applications into the cloud. We take a look at the cloud based technology, what the providers supply in relation to security controls and whether they are effective. We then step into what controls and risks were mitigated on the client side to ensure a secure deployment into the cloud. The presentation is based on two real-world examples of high profile clients deploying into Amazon and Microsoft cloud platforms. You’ll understand how a successful deployment can be achieved, as well as learning about some of the controls you need to build in, and the myths about deploying securely. At the end, you will be able to better understand how to deploy into the cloud for your own systems.

''Venue'': Red Hat, Level 1, 193 North Quay, Brisbane.

''Time'': 5:30pm for a 6pm start. '''Access to the buliding will be restricted after 6pm. Please arrive before then!'''

==== Local News ====

In July's OWASP Brisbane Chapter meeting, Miguel Madero will present a session titled "Security in Silverlight".

 

Miguel will show in several demos different Application Security concerns specific to Silverlight Applications commonly overlooked. He will teach us how to avoid being hacked and protect our data with some basic tips. These are some of the topics covered in this lightning talk:

*Common Hacking Techniques
*Security as an Aspect
*End to end data protection
*UI Level Security
*Authentication Mechanisms
*Authorization and User Context
*Service Level Security

Miguel has been programming for fun for the last 15 years when he realized that it was better to play with QBasic and Pascal than Prince of Persia. He found out that he could actually get some money out of this hobby so he started a couple of web companies 5 years later and then a Development Shop before moving to Australia to work for Readify where he’s now having fun coding some of the coolest projects in Australia. He discovered Silverlight two years ago and it’s still keeping him busy and entertained.

 Venue: '''Red Hat, Level 1, 193 North Quay, Brisbane.'''

Time: '''5:30pm (Pizza) for a 6pm start. Access to the buliding will be restricted after 6pm. Please arrive before then!'''

Date: '''Tuesday 5th July'''

Close: Session is expected to be completed by 7:30pm.

There will be a social gathering at the local pub afterwards. Everyone is welcome to attend!
