* '''Colin Watson: OWASP Cornucopia.''' OWASP Cornucopia is a free open-source card game, referenced by a PCI DSS information supplement, that helps derive application security requirements during the software development life cycle. This session will use an example eCommerce application to demonstrate how to utilise the card game. After an introduction and explanation, we will split into smaller groups to play the game gaining insights into relevant web application threats. The game is best played in groups of 4-6 with people who have a good knowledge of the application being assessed, and who have a mixture of backgrounds/experience - architects, developers, product owners, project managers, testers, etc, and those with software security responsibilities. Bring your colleagues along. Cornucopia is suitable for people aged 10 to 110 (decimal). [https://www.owasp.org/index.php/File:OwaspNCL-cornucopia-colinwatson.odp]

OWASP Newcastle

Welcome to the Newcastle chapter homepage. The chapter leaders are Connor Carr, Robin Fewster, Mike Goodwin, and Andi Pannell


Participation

OWASP Foundation (Overview Slides) is a professional association of global members and is open to anyone interested in learning more about software security. Local chapters are run independently and guided by the Chapter_Leader_Handbook. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit professional association your support and sponsorship of any meeting venue and/or refreshments is tax-deductible. Financial contributions should only be made online using the authorized online chapter donation button. To be a SPEAKER at ANY OWASP Chapter in the world simply review the speaker agreement and then contact the local chapter leader with details of what OWASP PROJECT, independent research or related software security topic you would like to present on.

Sponsorship/Membership

Btn donate SM.gif to this chapter or become a local chapter supporter. Or consider the value of Individual, Corporate, or Academic Supporter membership. Ready to become a member? Join Now BlueIcon.JPG

Our next event will be held on 27th March 2018. 18:00 to 21:00 at Northumbria University, City Campus East, room CCE1-024.

Talk 1: Andi Pannell

The Internet of (broken) Things

Talk: This talk will focus on the internet of things, how we’re connecting everything to the internet now, because why not add a WiFi connection to your Fridge? And how security is unlikely to be a consideration when making these products. I’ll also talk about DefCon, as last year my company sent a team of us to DefCon 25 in Las Vegas, explaining what DefCon is, what happens there, and how we won the IoT Village 0-day contest and I'll conclude with a live hacking demo.

Talk 2: Colin Watson

An introduction to The OWASP Automated Threats to Web Applications

Talk: Web applications are subjected to unwanted automated usage – day in, day out. The vast majority of these events relate to misuse of inherent valid functionality, rather than the attempted exploitation of unmitigated vulnerabilities. Also, excessive misuse is often mistakenly reported as application denial-of-service (DoS) like HTTP-flooding, when in fact the DoS is a side-effect instead of the attacker’s primary intent.

This OWASP project researched these aspects in 2015 and created a new ontology of web application automation threats, and has been updated twice since with the most recent release in February 2018. This presentation will describe the need, how the threats were classified and names defined, and how they information can be used in the real world developing and operating web applications. Attendees to the OWASP Newcastle event will receive a printed copy of the handbook; the PDF handbook and all other outputs are free to download from the OWASP website.
