London next week for some Naked Application Security ?

["Mark Curphey" <mark () curphey com>]

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!

special guest Mark Curphey

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
