Come and test your wonderful skill against others in a series of vulnerable code challenges that ask you to identify a problem, locate insecure code, and fix a vulnerability. You don’t need extensive programming knowledge, as this will be a great way to learn the foundations and intermediates of leveraging code that is not only functional but also secure. Players can choose to compete in their preferred software language, including Java Spring, C# MVC, C# WebForms, Go, Ruby on Rails, Python Django & Flask, Scala Play, Node.js, React, and both iOS and Android development languages. Join industry experts and fellow cybersecurity enthusiasts to share knowledge and experiences in this ever-evolving field. Don't miss this opportunity to network, learn, and stay updated on the latest in application security.

Food and drink will be provided! There will be a **raffle for Radar AirPods** for in-person attendees! Welcome to yet another great evening of learning and networking! This event will be held **both in person and online**, and for the first time (as far as we can recall) on a Thursday! **Agenda:** • 6:00 PM - Doors Open (in-person attendees). **Don't forget your ID!** • 6:30 PM - Welcome (in-person and Zoom attendees) • 6:35 PM - **First Talk: The Bar is on Which Floor? Improving Altitude and Floor Detection** • 7:05 PM - Community Announcements • 7:15 PM - **Second Talk: Beyond the Sandbox: Secure iOS Development in an Era of New Security Standards** • 7:45 PM - Networking • 8:30 PM - Doors close. Regroup at a bar nearby ([Old Town Bar](https://maps.app.goo.gl/2kigoa6ZMbgC1scG8)) **First Talk Description:** • The Bar is on Which Floor? Improving Altitude and Floor Detection Liam Meier, Director of Engineering at Radar iOS can estimate a device's altitude. In real world conditions, this estimate is far less accurate and reliable than horizontal (lat/lng) positioning, which makes the question "which floor is someone on?" hard to answer. Leveraging little known sensors in mobile phones and clever correction techniques enabled by at-scale deployments, we're able to determine mobile device altitude and floor level with markedly higher accuracy than what's available today. Liam Meier is Director of Engineering at Radar, where he leads the team behind Radar’s leading geolocation platform and mobile SDKs, deployed on over 300 million devices. Previously, he founded and built products at early-stage startups. In a past life, he studied galaxy formation under the influence of dark matter — helpful training for making sense of noisy sensor data. **Second Talk Description:** • Beyond the Sandbox: Secure iOS Development in an Era of New Security Standards Mike Sanderson Even as mobile apps have come to handle sensitive medical, financial, and personal information, the practices of secure mobile app development has remained a patchwork of received wisdom and platform constraints, with developers who want to practice secure development are often unclear on how to do so or what that even means. In the past few years, leaders in security standards have increasingly seen the need to for digital security incorporate secure coding earlier into the software development process, known as "shift left," and included references to systematic cybersecurity standards. This talk will look at how secure mobile app development fits into the larger security picture, including the security of the iOS platform and the MacOS platform apps are developed on. The talk will look at sources for guidance for secure iOS software development, in particular the OWASP flagship Mobile App Security project and other OWASP efforts. The idea will be to start to equip iOS developers not only to make good decisions but to systematically identify best practices and understand how they fit into the larger security picture. Mike Sanderson is a writer and computer programmer who has worked on iOS apps full-time since 2013, including working with a launch partner of Apple Wallet in iOS 9, working on a secure message app at scale, and independently finding and reporting an authentication-bypass bug on a medical iOS app, which was confirmed. Recently, Mike has provided comments on several National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) draft papers related to cybersecurity. **Location:** 111 5th Avenue Floor 12 New York, NY 10003 Please enter through the main lobby on 5th avenue, next to H&M.
