OWASP Toronto - May 2017 Chapter Event

Join us on May 25 at our next chapter event! Jamie Baxter will walk us through some exciting appsec challenges from past CTFs.

Category Web: Fantastic Tales of Capture-The-Flag (CTF) challenges past

We’ll dive into some of our favorite application security challenges from past Capture-The-Flag (CTF) competitions, including highlights from the recent 2017 edition of NorthSec, the largest applied security competition in North America. The challenges we’ll walk through were not only fun to solve but have a demonstrable real-world impact drawing on subtle flaws that lurk in many production applications. So bring your laptops and strap-in, this talk will be interactive and at the end of the night we’ll have a few challenges to take home with you.

Optional: If you want to follow along on your laptop as Jamie goes over the challenge walkthroughs, you will need at least VMware / Virtual Box to run a virtual machine, 8 GB of free space, and a web proxy such as Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP.
