You don't have to be an OWASP member to attend any of our meetups or CTFs - they are free and open to everyone interested in Application Security, booking is required.
There is a paid membership, which is a donation to the OWASP Foundation - it gives you discounts on many cyber-security conferences around the world, voting rights, @owasp.org email address and many other benefits like free access to paid training platforms.

TALKS:
OWASP Introduction, Welcome and News - Sam Stepanyan, Andra Lezza, Sherif Mansour - OWASP London Chapter Leaders
"DNS Based OSINT Techniques for Product and Service Discovery" - Rishi Chudasama
This talk will explain how to map products and services by passively detecting DNS TXT records. By examining these records, we can identify technologies used in an organisation's infrastructure without directly probing the target
"Race Against The Workflows: Stealing GitHub Tokens from Docker Images" - Gaëtan Ferry
Your Dockerfile says COPY . . and you think, "What could go wrong?" Turns out: a lot. We're diving into a sneaky GitHub Actions vulnerability where your authentication tokens get stored inside Docker image layers and published to public registries, where anyone can grab them. A race follows, between your workflow finishing and attackers downloading your Docker layers to loot the secrets hiding inside. Learn how this works, how to exploit it, and how to make sure your pipelines aren't leaking secrets to the world.
"Securing the SDLC: From Container Images to AI Agents" - Tharinda Basnayake
This presentation examines the evolution of supply chain security challenges from container images to AI agents. We'll explore how modern development practices create new attack vectors, from containers running hundreds of unnecessary packages to AI agents accessing enterprise systems without proper security controls
