OWASP Hartford

Welcome to the Hartford chapter homepage. The chapter leaders are James McGovern and Alvin Fong


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.

Sponsors

We would like to thank Travelers Insurancefor their generous sponsorship and helping make application security visible...

If you would like to sponsor either the food and/or door prizes for an upcoming meeting, please email James McGovern with your proposal. Independent of any financial considerations, sponsorship priority is driven by those who drive participation in OWASP to their employees and customers.

Call for Sponsors/Speakers

This is a call for speakers/papers. If we haven't approached you, but you believe you have a significant discovery or new research that the security community would value, or enjoy hearing about, we invite you to submit your presentation topic for serious consideration. Preference will be given to speakers who can present new and innovative technical content to a broad audience. Of course, all presentations are expected to challenge the brightest and quickest of attendees - we wouldn't have it any other way.

OWASP is not a vendor fair. Consequently, there will be very little tolerance for commercial content within presentations. Attendees will be encouraged to quell any shameless marketing that is not immediately backed up with rationale for its inclusion.

Some topics of interest for upcoming meetings include (but are not limited to):

  • Risk Rating Methodologies
  • Breaking CAPTCHA
  • Internet of Things (IOT) Security
  • Information Security 101 for Business Executives
  • Enterprise Risk Management - Understanding true risks

Upcoming Events

  • Digital Ethics Panel
  • Dynamic application security testing / Static analysis testing

Wireless Security Workshop

Presentation: File:OWASP Wireless Security 101.pdf

This session will take a departure from some of our recent OWASP sessions. The hosts at MakeHartford have generously offered their classroom space for this security lab session/workshop coming out of the OWASP pen-testing initiative group. Jon Williams will be presenting and demonstrating some fundamental wireless security concepts. Depending on time and if we get access to some COTS routers, we may also try to do some hands-on wireless security testing. Plan on bringing your laptop and spare wireless router if you can. This session is oriented toward folks looking to learn about wireless security and getting introduced to wireless security concepts for the first time.

Note: Due to the classroom size, we're limiting this to the first 20 participants.

Agenda:

  • Overview: Wireless security concepts
  • Remote access, Local network - encrypted and unencrypted
  • Wireless attacks:
  • Rogue access point, MiTM, Session Hijacking, Radio monitoring, Session theft
  • Review: Risks to remote workers
  • Game time: defensive techniques
  • Demonstration: Wireless Man-in-the-Middle and Rogue AP

About Jon Williams:

Jon Williams hails from Cheshire, CT, where he lives with his wife and daughter and works from home as Security Administrator for IGG Software. A taste for adventure has carried him far, from the islands of the Bahamas where he worked towards building an eco-hostel, to the deserts of Egypt where he taught children at environmental leadership camps, to the high seas where he circumscribed the globe in a steamship. His passion for technology led him into the security field, where he now spends an unhealthy proportion of his time trying to break computer systems so that others might improve them. He recently attained a CISSP certification and actively contributes to projects at OWASP Hartford

OWASP @ MakeHartford
Presentation: File:OWASP Hartford pen-test lab intiative 20170322.pdf

We've got a new team working on putting together a security / pen testing lab and security learning environment here in CT.  The goal is to have a place where we can create and share security and pen testing tips and tricks with our members, as well as using the lab as a means to bolster our outreach efforts to the colleges in the area.

We're going to use this initial session to explore the MakeHartford space and start building up that lab. If you're interested, we would love to see you at this session. Otherwise, shoot me an email and i'll keep you posted on working group meetings moving forward.

Thanks to the current volunteer team and Steve Yanicke @MakeHartford:

  • Dain Perkins 
  • Darin Wilborne 
  • Jon Williams 
  • Kevin Tobin 
  • Adam Haller
