Intro to Grendel - a WebApp PenTesting Tool - BRING A LAPTOP

Blackhat veteran David Byrne and Denver chapter leader Eric Duprey will be presenting their latest work: Grendel!

Grendel is a tool they developed to automate many aspects of appsec testing. During this presentation, they will show how to use Grendel to accelerate webapp pen testing.

Bring a laptop with an optical drive, as a LiveCD will be provided which includes Grendel and a target application.

Developers are encouraged to attend, as Grendel can be used to find many common flaws in applications. We all know that fixing bugs in DEV is significantly cheaper than fixing them after a production penetration test.

Updates will be spammed to the Chapter Mailing List.
