Catching up

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

I suffered the wrath of the technological gods this week with the one-two punch of a burnt out power supply and a downed DSL line. I’ll be posting the re-cap from last week’s OWASP DC meeting in the not to distant future, once I get some time to catch up.

Thanks for bearing with!

Refresh DC for October

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Sorry for the lack of notice, but this month’s Refresh is TONIGHT.

(we don’t seem to get a lot of advance notice about refresh these days, so I try to pass along what I have when I can).

Come see the second part of the two part series, “From Concepts to Code,” where Jason Garber will present discussing taking the output of a designer and turning it into a functioning website.

Refresh DC 7 PM Thursday October 23rd

OWASP DC October Meeting

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

The next OWASP DC Meeting will be next week:

OWASP DC
Wednesday October 15th 6:30 PM

Deloitte and Touche
1001 G St NW Washington DC 20001

This month’s agenda is as follows:

  • Adam Vincent, Hacking and Hardening Web Services
  • Doug Wilson, Report on AppSec NYC 2008
  • Open discussion

Adam Vincent will be presenting on Hacking and Hardening Web Services. He has presented this to other OWASP chapters, including NoVa, and we are pleased to have him be able to bring it to our DC audience. I’m hoping to see some faces from Refresh show up in the crowd this time around . . .

Doug Wilson will also be reporting back from the OWASP AppSec NYC 2008 conference. He will cover some of the themes that emerged from that, and talk about some of the directions that OWASP is looking to take in the coming year.

Save the Date — OWASP DC October 15th

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

We still need to confirm a few details, but it looks like the next OWASP meeting will be October 15th. Put that evening on your calendars (assume 6:30 PM downtown DC), and I hope to have confirmation in the next 24 hours.
