Security SIG (reminder & update): "Secure Web Application Development and Testing", Thurs., Nov. 6, 2008, 9am-noon, Sibley Auditorium

The Campus Security SIG presents:
"Secure Web Application Development and Testing"

This workshop by Gabriel Lawrence, Director of IT Security at UC San
Diego, will cover the basics of secure Web application development and
testing. You will leave this talk with a good understanding of how to
apply these techniques to secure your own applications.

We will begin by examining the code for a simple Web application that
tracks "To-Do" items. We will then shift roles and attack this
application to expose the security issues common to many Web
applications. Finally, we will shift back to the Web application
developer's role and examine the techniques used to fix the
vulnerabilities found in the application. The code, techniques, and
fixes used in this talk are applicable to any development environment.

PLEASE NOTE: The previous announcement for this session said, "Attendees
are welcome to bring a laptop and follow along using a VM image of the
environment," however the VM image will now not be available until after
the talk.

No RSVP or reservation is required.
