Title : Web Application Security Testing with Burp Suite

Ever wondered how tools like Burp Suite are used by penetration testers and software security testers to evaluate the robustness of enterprise web applications?

Steven van der Baan will be running a workshop on how to use Burp Suite to find vulnerabilities in a variety of web application scenarios. Using “Capture the Flag” scenario’s which have been successfully deployed at both OWASP AppSec and other information security conferences and guidance from the speaker, you will have the opportunity to experience the tools first hand.

Bring along your laptop (and a wireless card) with Burp Suite installed (potentially this could be part of Kali Live CD, USB or running as a VM)----
