I’ve been very busy with the new gig, but there are some security meetups in the near future that merit mentioning:
Thursday, August 23rd — OWASP DC is having a meeting at the offices of Aspect Security in Columbia MD at 6 PM.
Aspect is located at 9175 Guilford Road (Suite 300) in Columbia MD.
Thursday, August 30th — CapSec is having its third meetup at 7:30 PM at the Brickskellar near Dupont Circle in Washington DC. CapSec doesn’t have a website yet, but I may stand something up just so that it has a point for disbursing information. This is one of the CitySec style meetups — no real agenda, just stop by and have a beer and gab with other people in the Information Security field. I’m curious to see who made it to Black Hat or Defcon, and any interesting stories they may have.
Thursday, September 6th — OWASP DC and OWASP VA are participating in the OWASP Live O event this year, by having a mini-conference. Unfortunately, Live O doesn’t have an official website either, currently. The registration for the conference is here, register soon if you are interested, all of the venues they are considering will probably have an attendance cap. The conference WILL be starting during the day, at around 1 PM, so be aware of this if you want to attend.
Current scheduled presentations are:
* Honeyclients and Malicious Web Servers – Kathy Wang – Mitre
* A malcode perspective on web application privacy – Blake Hartstein – iDefense
* Practical Web Privacy with Firefox – Chuck Willis- Mandiant
* A sneak peak at Jeff’s new “Enterprise Security API” – Jeff Williams – Aspect Security/OWASP
* Digital Rights Management – James Stibbards – Cloakware
