Presenters and Presentations
We are forever looking for volunteers to present at the chapter meetings, so if you've seen something interesting or you have something to say, please let us know.

Often, when we approach potential presenters, we tend to get the following response – “I don’t think my topic is interesting enough”. We just want to stress that as long as the topic is security related – we’re all ears! We’re just a bunch of nice people wanting to learn/share our knowledge of the security domain. So if you would like to present or know of someone that does, please contact us.

Presentations must be vendor agnostic (no selling of products or services), and please review the Speaker Agreement linked above.

Chapter Meetings
Next Brisbane Chapter Meeting - Tuesday September 3, 2013

In September's meeting, Trevor Jay's presentation will be on the topic "Security Testing for Javascript-centric Web Applications". For the moment, "single page" and other Javascript heavy web-applications enjoy a particular kind of security through obscurity: security through complexity. As these types of applications grow in popularity, this situation will change. Worse, due to the complexity of these applications, manual hacking techniques are likely to lead automated testing and protections. In this talk, I will discuss how existing testing approaches fail and describe development efforts to get ahead of this dangerous curve.

Venue: Red Hat Offices, Level 1, 193 North Quay, Brisbane.

Time: 5:30pm for a 6pm start. Lifts to Level 1 will be locked after 6pm. Please arrive before then!

Date: Tuesday 3rd September

Close: Session is expected to be completed by 7:30pm.

RSVP: There are limited seats. Please RSVP at http://owasp-brisbane.eventbrite.com

There will be a social gathering at a local hostelry afterwards. Everyone is welcome to attend!
