OWASP Cork Chapter Meeting

The first OWASP Cork Chapter meeting is taking place on Tuesday September 1st upstairs in SoHo bar on Grand Parade. This meeting is a joint event with the CorkSec group ( https://www.meetup.com/CorkSec/ ). We would love if you could stay around after for a chat and some networking.

There are two talks lined up:

Talk 1: Web to Shell by Darren Fitzpatrick

Darren will introduce the concept of getting a shell through a website. This basically means remotely taking over the server on which a web application is installed. After a little theory, he will go about delivering demonstrations of this in action. Demos will include common attack vectors of this type and one recent and quite common ruby on rails specific remote exploit.

Talk 2: How I got into Security by Jack Baylor

In this short talk I'll be covering:

• my education and previous work experience
• what courses I wish I'd covered but didn't
• how I got interested initially
• how I started researching and networking
• how I came about working in Qualcomm
• how some others broke into security (through polling others here and through talking to people on LinkedIn etc...),
• what courses I intend to take in the next 1, 2 and 5 years

Doors open at 19:00, talks start around 19:15

Hope to see you there,

Fiona & Darren

P.S. Watch this space for details of our first solo chapter meeting later in the month in what will hopefully be our new home for chapter meetings!
