| − | | |
| − | Hello all,
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Louisville OWASP chapter will be presenting its third meeting on '''September 18, from 11:30 – 1pm'''. Louisville OWASP meets on a quarterly basis and has had meetings in March and June of this year. Our first discussion featured Curtis Koenig and Mitch Greenfield, both from Humana, and our second featured Adrian Crenshaw of Irongeek. These meetings feature a free, vendor agnostic discussion on relevant application security and OWASP topics. Our meetings have been well attended and have received very positive feedback, and we look forward to providing the same forum in the months and years to come.

| − | For those not familiar with OWASP (or the Open Web Application Security Project), it is a worldwide free and open community focused on improving the security of application software. The OWASP mission is to make application security "visible," so that people and organizations can make informed decisions about application security risks. Everyone is free to participate in OWASP and all of the OWASP materials are available under a free and open software license. Around the world, OWASP sponsors local chapters that are FREE and OPEN to anyone interested in learning more about application security.

| − | '''''Site takedown services, anti-phishing filters, and millions of dollars worth of protective technologies…..and the spear phishers are still successful! This presentation will discuss why this is the case. Today, phishing is a key component in a “hackers” repertoire. Phishers are combining social engineering with application security flaws in well known websites to make automated detection of targeted phishing attacks almost impossible. The result - hijacked online brokerage accounts, stolen identities and e-bank robberies. During this talk, I will present the techniques used by attackers to execute such spear phishing attacks, and real-world cases that I have responded to that will provide perspective on the impact. I will then discuss countermeasures that have been proven to be effective and are recommended by reputed bodies like SANS and Carnegie Mellon University.'''''

| − | [[Title:]] '''Mutillidae: Using a deliberately vulnerable set of PHP scripts to illustrate the OWASP Top 10'''
| |
| − | Description: A while back I wanted to start covering more web application pen-testing tools and concepts in some of my videos and live classes. Of course, I needed vulnerable web apps to illustrate common web security problems. I like the WebGoat project, but sometimes it's a little hard to figure out exactly what they want you to do to exploit a given web application, and it's written in J2EE (not a layman friendly language). In an attempt to have something simple to use as a demo in my videos and in class, I started the Mutillidae project.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Mutillidae is a deliberately vulnerable set of PHP scripts meant to illustrate the OWASP Top 10. This talk will cover installing Mutillidae in a test environment, and how to use it to illustrate the OWASP Top 10 web vulnerabilities in easy to understand terms.
