September Meeting

First Boulder OWASP Meeting to be held September 20th, 2007

Site: Corporate Express US Headquarters [4] 1 Environmental Way Broomfield, CO 80021

Time: Dinner and beverages will be available starting at 6 PM, compliments of Business Partner Solutions. [5] Presentation will start at 6:30.

Speaker: Jeremiah Grossman, CTO of WhiteHat Security. [6]

Topic: Top 10 Web Attack Techniques, their Potential Impact, and Strategies to Protect Your Company

To date, information security has been focused mainly on vulnerabilities at the network and software (OS, web server, etc.) levels. However, a new battleground is quickly developing that poses an even greater threat to companies’ brands/reputations and data. As companies drive more and more business processes to the web, vulnerabilities in their custom Web applications have become the new target for a new class of hackers. And the payoff is now financial gain, not personal notoriety.

Jeremiah Grossman will: – Reveal the top 10 attacks of 2006 by creativity and scope – Predict what these attacks mean for website vulnerability management in 2007 – Present strategies to protect your corporate websites

Bio: Jeremiah Grossman is the founder and CTO of WhiteHat Security, considered a world-renowned expert in Web security, co-founder of the Web Application Security Consortium, and recently named to InfoWorld's Top 25 CTOs for 2007. Mr. Grossman is a frequent speaker at industry events including the BlackHat Briefings, RSA, ISACA, CSI, OWASP, Vanguard, ISSA, Defcon, and a number of large universities. He has authored dozens of articles and white papers; is credited with the discovery of many cutting-edge attack and defensive techniques; and is a co-author of XSS Attacks. Mr. Grossman is frequently quoted in major media publications such as InfoWorld, USA Today, PCWorld, Dark Reading, SC Magazine, SecurityFocus, Cnet, SC Magazine, CSO, and InformationWeek. Prior to WhiteHat he was an information security officer at Yahoo!

Local News

Boulder OWASP News - July 26th, 2007

Al B., Lance R., and Andy L. are getting speakers, places, and sponsors lined up for Sep-Nov. The gameplan is to have meetings on the 3rd Thursday of each month HOWEVER the FIRST meeting's timing is being scheduled around a very special speaker (hint: what's the opposite of Black Hat?). The goal is very simple: understand how one of the OWASP Top 10 is a REAL PROBLEM and (more importantly) understand how to CODE BETTER and/or TEST BETTER.

Still need a place that can seat 30+ for the first meeting the 3rd or 4th week of Sept. Still need a sponsor for dinner.

Likely schedule:

6-6:30 eat, socialize 6:30-6:35 chapter business 6:35 - introduce speaker

Each speaker will be encouraged to cover:

- demonstration of the threat ( "look!  I got EVERYONE'S credit card #!")
- overview/sample of vulnerable code, preferably in PHP, Java, or .Net env.
- some details regarding how to correct the code
- some thoughts as to how to test for the problem and/or "immunize" against it during a typical SDLC
- additional tools and references

7:35'ish - Q & A after Q & A - adjourn to less formal environment

Thanks! Andy

PS if you're going to Blackhat/DefCon be sure to catch David Byrne's presentation regarding anti-DNS pinning!
