Local News

Latest News

So we have hit a bit of a lull over the past two months as you can probably tell. August meeting was really low attendance and September was a non-event since I largely have been out of town and so have a lot of the other co-leads. Nonetheless, get ready to resume meetings. Next one is Nov 17th at the Tilted Kilt @ Cumberland. Make a note and check out details in the Chapter Meetings page above.

FYI - We are trying to reach out to more developers, quality assurance engineers, and software architects so if you have colleagues in those areas, please invite them to come. For next meeting information, please visit the Chapter Meetings tab and RSVP in the link provided.

Chapter Meetings

Future Meetings

November 2011 Meeting

WHAT:: November Chapter Meeting - 'HowTo Talk on Assessing Mobile Apps'

WHEN:: 17th of November 2011. 6-8pm

WHERE:: Cumberland Pkwy Tilted Kilt http://atlanta-cumberland.tiltedkilt.com/

WHO:: Jeremy Allen is the Chief Technology Officer with the Intrepidus Group. Jeremy is a regular speaker at popular security conferences such as BlackHat, SOURCE and OWASP AppSec. He is currently the lead on the development of the SANS “Secure Mobile Application Development: iOS App Security” course. He has conducted numerous application assessments against iOS applications.

ABSTRACT:: This talk will focus on mobile application assessment techniques. The assessment techniques will focus on how to test applications for the OWASP Mobile Top 10 issues. Mitigation techniques for both Android and iOS will be discussed. Mallory, Intrepidus Group’s Man in The Middle tool designed to test mobile devices and applications, will be demonstrated throughout the presentation. Additionally, usage of other open source tools will be demonstrated. Both iOS and Android will be discussed.

COST: Free to all. Bring a Friend.


December 2011 Meeting

WHAT:: December Chapter Meeting - 'Preventing Data Breaches using Provenance-aware Firewalls'

WHEN:: 15th of December 2011. 6-8pm

WHERE:: Cumberland Pkwy Tilted Kilt http://atlanta-cumberland.tiltedkilt.com/

WHO:: Anirudh Ramachandran is a networks and systems security researcher at Georgia Tech and the founder and CTO of Nouvou Inc., a nascent data security startup. He has 6 years of experience developing solutions in areas such as data breach prevention, high speed traffic monitoring, network-level spam filtering, and botnet identification. He graduated with a PhD in Computer Science from Georgia Tech in 2011. http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~avr

ABSTRACT:: Data breaches through Web application vulnerabilities have become particularly rampant. Point solutions -- for example, a Web Application Firewall that scans requests destined to the Web app -- can only stop a limited number of attack patterns, and do not provide any protection from a breach once a vulnerability is eventually exploited. We have developed a complementary approach to prevent breaches based on the idea that, if sensitive data is tracked closely enough, a breach can be prevented without worrying about the Web application vulnerability that led to the breach.

In this talk, I will present the architecture of SilverLine (associates tamper-proof tags with database records and files, and uses an OS-level module to track the flow of tagged data through the various components of a Web application) and describe how we integrated SilverLine with a popular open source e-Commerce Web application, OSCommerce.
