2011 Rochester Student Outreach Initiative
The Rochester Chapter of OWASP is committed to reaching out to all individuals and organizations directly or indirectly involved in the Web Application Security Ecosystem. Especially strategic to our outreach are college students in computer science and other scientific disciplines as they are the future developers, software architects, and managers who will be developing the next generation of Internet infrastructures and applications. The purpose of the Student Outreach Initiative is twofold: on one side we want to have students involved in the OWASP community, on the other side we want to be in touch with what our local colleges are doing in our field so we can foster a productive and mutually beneficial relationship.
The Student Outreach Initiative is designed to allow students to present on a topic of their choice, as long as it's relevant to Web Application Security, at a local OWASP meeting in front of the local webappsec community and to compete for the best presentation award. Students who are interested in competing may submit an abstract of their proposed presentation. The Rochester OWASP Board will select the best abstracts and their authors will be invited to present at a special OWASP meeting showcases student work. Presentations will be limited to 20 minutes. At the end of the meeting, the attendees will vote for the best presentation.
Prizes:
First Prize: Honorary OWASP membership (a $50 value) plus a $100 VISA gift card
Second Prize: $50 VISA gift card
Third Prize: $25 VISA gift card
Abstracts must be submitted by email to Andrea Cogliati by February 18th.
Final slides must be submitted by March 4th.
The finalists will be invited to present on March 21st.
Please submit any questions you may have regarding this initiative to Andrea Cogliati

Abstract:
Pastebin is a website for collaboratively sharing code, chat logs, configuration files or any other large text document and then hosts them publicly. This system has been used by tens of thousands of users since 2002. However, sometimes, these text files contain extremely sensitive information including Social Security Numbers, Addresses, Names, IP addresses, Usernames, Passwords; everything that shouldn't be publicly available. After 1 month of scraping, the amount of sensitive information is paramount. Silas has examined the information that is publicly facing and put together some statistics of the amount and how dangerous the information is that has been leaked from this website.
