March CapBUG Meeting - Mistakes to Lure Hackers: Vulnerability 2.0

From: Mike Erdely <mike_at_**********.***>
Date: Wed Mar 14 2007 - 19:45:39 EDT

Our March CapBUG meeting will be on 3/27 starting at 6:30 PM.

Matt Fisher will be presenting his talk entitled Mistakes to Lure
Hackers: Vulnerability 2.0 at this month’s CapBUG meeting. Matt is a
Senior Security Engineer at SPI Dynamics and shares leadership of the
Washington DC OWASP chapter.

 From his talk:
"Cross-Site-Scripting and SQL Injection are now the most commonly
reported vulnerabilities in the CVE. We will examine the entire genre of
web application security and the unique security paradigm required,
while zooming in on XSS and SQL Injection. Think Web 2.0 sites are neat?
So do the bad guys and we’ll examine some of the factors going into the
'new web' that makes them so vulnerable to script attacks."

Jason was in NYC for his talk at LinuxWorld Open Solutions Summit.
Although the talk is not BSD-specific, it is very informative and should
be of particular interest to BSD Systems Administrators who pride
themselves on high security. Matt is a very engaging speaker and highly
experienced with his subject matter. This will be the first presentation
to be streamed live via the MetaBUG, but if you’re in the DC area,
you’ll still want to come out and see it live! The meeting location is
at SPARTA in Columbia, MD.

Hope to see you there.
