| − | So the time has come. Your company has finally approved the project to update your online web presence. A brand new, whiz-bang Content Management System is being deployed and your developers are frantically coding away to prepare a whole batch of fresh new content. Before you realise it, the delivery date is a week away and you have some security guy screaming at you about cross-site scripting issues!
| + | == Participation == |
| | + | If you would like to be a speaker at a local chapter meeting, simply contact the chapter leader(s) with details of the proposed talk. |
| | | | |
| − | Cross-site scripting? So what.
| + | We are interested in all aspects of software security and related areas such as: |
| | + | * Application security architectures |
| | + | * Web, mobile, cloud and IoT app security |
| | + | * DevOps + Security = DevSecOps |
| | + | * API security and integrations |
| | + | * Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) |
| | + | * Security Code Reviews and others |
| | + | Several formats are available, including 60 min talks / technical workshops, 30 min talks and 10 min lightning talks. |
| | | | |
| − | Does this experience sound familiar to you?
| + | Speakers our bound by the [[Speaker Agreement|OWASP Speaker Agreement]]. |
| | | | |
| − | In this session Christian Frichot will spend some time dissecting this common web application vulnerability, and just how serious its impacts can be. Exploitation of cross-site scripting is no longer just within the realm of nerdy, hacker types, new (and old) tools out there allow this trivial vulnerability to be used for so much more, including keystroke logging, and even forcing your iPhone to dial a number via Skype. For those facing these issues there are plenty of resources which can help, and Christian will cover these as well.

| − | === How minor vulnerabilities can do ‘very bad things’ (December 2010) ===
| + | [[File:Join Button.png]]OWASP to help us serve [[About The Open Web Application Security Project|our mission]]. |
| − | | |
| − | The Perth branch of the Australian Information Security Association is pleased to announce details for the second annual Perth AISA Tech day to be held on the 3rd December. This year we are holding the event in the heart of Perth’s CBD thanks to proud AISA supporters L7 Solutions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Appearing for their second consecutive year, regular AISA and OWASP members Christian and David are following on from last year’s topic. Last year you will remember that the demonstrated a number of classes of vulnerabilities in web applications (XSS, CSRF, SQL Injection etc.). This year they are going to show how relatively minor vulnerabilities can be exploited and leveraged to do ‘very bad things’ ™ to the client browser, the web server or both.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This session will include demonstrations of the BeEF browser exploitation framework and Metasploit.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Web Application (In)Security Brief - Injection (September 2010) ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Having recently run training sessions on web application security for SyScan'10 and Blackhat, we're lucky enough to have Wade Alcorn from NGS to give a brief presentation on "Exploiting and discovering injection" for September's Perth OWASP Meeting. Come on up to Level 46 of the Bankwest Tower to join us discuss web application security with Wade and others. Please RSVP to ensure appropriate seating arrangements and we're hoping to then shift off to the Generous Squire for a quick beverage afterwards!

| − | ==== About the presenter ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wade Alcorn has experience in numerous aspects of offensive information security assessments. This ranges from bluetooth, reverse engineering and web application assessments to managing large teams of security professionals. Prior to joining NGS, Wade had been responsible for cutting-edge PKI and VPN development using technologies including C/C++ and Java. He has presented at conferences including BlackHat and AusCERT.

| − | ==== [http://www.aisa.org.au/index.php?page=301 AISA Details] ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Log management is a necessary task in Security Management, but is often neglected. There are various pressures being placed on businesses, such as audit and compliance, industry standards (eg PCI, APRA), internal security maturity which have allowed organisations to understand the benefits to be gained from undertaking a SEIM project.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are many options for organisations looking to develop log management and security incident response processes, which range from open source syslog solutions, through to vendor supplied SEIM products and cloud based monitoring solutions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A panel selected from a variety of industries including representation from security consulting, corporate and vendor will discuss the considerations, options and benefits of employing SEIM technology and processes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We were fortunate to have Joshua Qwek, one of Perth's OWASP chapter lead, participate in this panel.

| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== [http://www.aisa.org.au/index.php?page=287 AISA Details] ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | As the security industry continues to change its focus to application
| |
| − | security a lot of companies who rely on software, developed either
| |
| − | internally or externally, are wondering what they can do reduce the risk
| |
| − | of security flaws.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Microsoft's Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) model can look
| |
| − | appealing, however without a clear understanding of what your software
| |
| − | security processes look like, it may be difficult to achieve any real
| |
| − | improvements.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Implementing a holistic end-to-end software security process can often
| |
| − | look like an impossible task, and while the end picture resembles Eden,
| |
| − | it's often the first steps that everyone stumbles on. As the saying goes
| |
| − | "You can't manage what you can't measure", and without a clear
| |
| − | understanding of what your software security processes look like now it's
| |
| − | unlikely that you can achieve any real improvements.
| |
| − | | |
| − | OWASP's Open Software Assurance Maturity Model, or OpenSAMM, aims | |
| − | to assist organisations, both big and small, in evaluating their existing | |
| − | software security practices and constructing a measurable, balanced
| |
| − | program to increase their software security.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wondering how this can help your internal development processes? Want
| |
| − | to have a more rigid process to audit your externally developed software
| |
| − | processes? Then perhaps OWASP's OpenSAMM project can assist.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This meeting will be co-hosted by both the local AISA chapter and the Perth OWASP chapter.

| − | The local OWASP boys will be whipping out their flux capacitor to fit as much information as they possibly can into a 2 hour jam-packed session on web app security testing. By providing a flyby of the OWASP Testing Guide, David and Christian aim to demonstrate and explain how to detect security vulnerabilities in your own web applications, including: Cross Site Scripting; Injection Flaws; Cross Site Request Forgery and Session Management Flaws. | |
| − | | |
| − | Demonstrations will utilise a number of open source and freely available tools, including OWASP's own WebScarab. To provide a yoga-like flexibility to the session all materials and testing environments (an Ubuntu wrapped VMware virtual machine) will be provided to attendees, allowing you to either chase us rapidly down the rabbit hole of the OWASP Top 10, or to take your own time after the session...

| − | === Threat Modelling in the Software Development Lifecycle (Feb 2009) ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | One of the most important concepts being promoted in the security industry is security in the software development lifecycle. This concept is important due to two primary factors:
| |
| − | * It is generally recognised that by shifting security activities closer towards the requirements gathering stage, or the design stage, that less vulnerabilities will make their way into the production systems.
| |
| − | * It is also recognised that the cost of mitigating vulnerabilities increases later in the lifecycle.
| |
| − | By walking through a case study I hope to demonstrate the effectiveness of addressing risk during the earlier stage of the software development lifecycle, and that these activities are not solely the responsibility of the "security guy", but all participants in a software project including the project manager, business stakeholders and software designer.
