Welcome to the OWASP Boston Chapter
To find out more about the Boston chapter, please send an email to Jim Weiler or just join the OWASP Boston mailing list.
We meet the FIRST WEDNESDAY of EVERY MONTH, 6:30 to 9 pm.
Everyone is welcome to come to any meeting, there is no signup or joining criteria, just come if it sounds interesting. Feel free to sign up to the OWASP Boston mailing list. This list is very low volume (2 - 3 emails/month); it is used to remind people about each monthly meeting, inform about local application security events and special chapter offers.
Information and an RSS feed for meeting updates about this and other Boston area user groups can be found at Boston User Groups.
Location
The Boston OWASP Chapter meets the FIRST WEDNESDAY of every month, 6:30 pm at the Microsoft offices at the Waltham Weston Corporate Center, 201 Jones Rd., Sixth Floor Waltham, MA.
From Rt. 128 North take exit 26 toward Waltham, East up the hill on Rt. 20. From Rt 128 South take exit 26 but go around the rotary to get to 20 East to Waltham. Follow signs for Rt. 117 (left at the second light). When you get to 117 turn left (West). You will cross back over Rt. 128. Jones Rd. (look for the Waltham Weston Corporate Center sign) is the second left, at a blinking yellow light, on Rt. 117 going west about 0.1 miles from Rt. 128 (I95). The office building is at the bottom of Jones Rd. Best parking is to turn right just before the building and park in the back. Knock on the door to get the security guard to open it. The room is MPR C.

Can't afford large consulting fees to help with your crypto related problems or questions? This meeting could be the answer! Dave Low, Sr. engineer from RSA will share his experiences working with customers (who will remain nameless), talking about successes and not so successes, good practices and not so good practices.
