Welcome to the OWASP Washington, DC-Maryland Local Chapter

The original DC Chapter was founded in June 2004 by Jeff Williams and has had members from Virginia to Delaware. In April 2005 a new chapter, DC-Virginia, was formed and the DC Chapter was renamed to DC-Maryland. The two are sister chapters with common members and shared discourse. The chapters meet in opposite halves of the month to facilitate this relationship.

Chapter meetings are held several times a year, typically in the offices of our sponsor. Please subscribe to the mailing list for meeting announcements.

Our chapter is sponsored by Aspect Security.


Participation

OWASP Local Chapter meetings are free and open. Our chapter's meetings are informal and encourage open discussion of all aspects of application security. Anyone in our area interested in web application security is welcome to attend. We encourage attendees to give short presentations about specific topics. If you would like to make a presentation, or have any questions about the DC-Maryland Chapter, send an email to Matt Fisher or Andre Ludwig.


Between meetings we keep the discussion going via mailing list. To join our chapter mailing list, visit our mailing list page. List membership is kept private.

March Meeting Announcement



Our next meeting is on Thursday March 23rd at 1800 hours in the offices of Aspect Security.

This is going to be a technical meeting focusing on AJAX Security.



In case you weren't aware, AJAX is a clever use of existing technologies to provide richer interfaces on the web (think Google Maps). It's growing in popularity and "buzz", so be sure to make this meeting and learn all you can about it.

If you have some AJAX science you'd like to drop on us, then email me directly at mfisher at spidynamics dot com

The Agenda:



1. Opening, introductions

2. Presentation by Rick Pries: An introduction to AJAX

3. Overview and Review of the new OWASP AJAX Security Guide

4. BoF discussion on AJAX and AJAX security

5. Everything Else: Current Events, OWASP news, Industry News, Recent Hacks in the News, Closing, etc.



Food:

As usual, geek food will be provided. This usually means pizza and soda.



Getting there


Aspect is located at 9175 Guilford Road (Suite 300) in Columbia. Driving directions are:


From I-95:


Exit 38 B : Rt. 32 West towards Columbia (1.5 miles)

Take the Broken Land Parkway exit

Turn left off the ramp onto Broken Land Parkway

Turn left at the light onto Guilford Road (0.5 miles)



After a sharp left, enter the parking lot at 9175 Guilford Road. [Note: if you go under the bridge, you've gone too far]

We're on the third floor in Suite 300




Unfortunatley being out in the far 'burbs there is very limited public transport.

If you need help getting to the meeting, try emailing the list at: [email protected] asking for a lift.

There are two MARC stations within a twenty minute drive, and the MTA contracted commuter busses drop off within 2 miles of the offices.

Wireless


I am please to announce that we may just have wireless access for the meeting. No promises, but if you're the type who likes to look stuff up realtime then you may want to bring the laptop.

If we *are* lucky to enough to get wireless access, there will be a serious "no playing around" policy in place, and anyone breaking it will be kick/banned for life, y'all hear ? <o:p></o:p>
