If anyone is in London next Thursday, I am speaking at the OWASP London
chapter. From what I understand it is usually above a pub with lots of beer
and heckling (read fun). I will be presenting a somewhat controversial
observation of the application security industry today and poking some fun
at some people who probably don't want to have fun poked at them (but need
it).
I will also be giving away 5 signed copies of Mike Andrews new book,
Breaking Web Software. To win a book just bring along a one page PPT of the
worst bull s&%^t marketing by an application security company and I'll
choose the top five ;-)
Dinis Cruz is also demonstrating the OWASP SiteGenerator, a web app scanner
benchmarking tool he has built.
Please let Dinis know if you plan to attend so he can get the space
organized. dinis.cruz@owasp.net
Warning; any sales people that turn up, be prepared to get roasted!

Hello,
On March 9th 2006, Thursday, there will be another Owasp-London
Chapter gathering somewhere in London (I am still deciding on the
venue (if anybody has a good location which they can facilitate or
sponsor, please contact me ASAP)).
In this session, I am very happy to announce that Owasp founder Mark
Curphey will deliver a presentation on the night's topic "Naked
Application Security - A striped back look at the industry today". I
(Dinis Cruz) will also deliver a presentation on the latest
developments at Owasp, the forthcoming European Owasp Conference, and
the new Owasp tools SiteGenerator and VulnReport.
So, currently the schedule looks like this:
6:00 pm - Arrive at location and order some beers and food
7:00 pm - Move to presentation venue (if different)
7:30 pm - Dinis Cruz presentation "Latest developments at Owasp, the
forthcoming European Owasp Conference, and the new Owasp tools
SiteGenerator and VulnReport"
8:15 pm - Mark Curphey presentation "Naked Application Security - A
striped back look at the industry today"
9:00 pm - Roundtable discussion about Mark's presentation and "What
next? How to turn the boat to the right direction?"
Any Comments? Suggestions? Ideas?
Please let me know (dinis.cruz@owasp.net) if you are planning in
attending so that I have an idea of the numbers.
Best regards
Dinis Cruz
