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.

Next Meeting
This will be the start of our fourth year!!!
Next Meeting - Wednesday, March 5
Main Presentation - Chris Eng; Senior Director, Security Research, Veracode
Description – Attacking crypto in web applications
This presentation will discuss penetration testing techniques for analyzing unknown data in web applications and demonstrate how encrypted data can be compromised through pattern recognition and only a high-level understanding of cryptography concepts. Techniques will be illustrated through a series of detailed, step-by-step case studies drawn from the presenter's penetration testing experience.
This is not a talk on brute forcing encryption keys, nor is it a discussion of weaknesses in cryptographic algorithms. Rather, the case studies will demonstrate how encryption mechanisms in web applications were compromised without ever identifying the keys or even the underlying ciphers.
