Welcome to the OWASP Boston Chapter
To find out more about the Boston chapter, please send an email to Jim Weiler or just join the OWASP Boston mailing list.

We meet the FIRST WEDNESDAY of EVERY MONTH, 6:30 to 9 pm.

Everyone is welcome to come to any meeting, there is no signup or joining criteria, just come if it sounds interesting. Feel free to sign up to the OWASP Boston mailing list. This list is very low volume (2 - 3 emails/month); it is used to remind people about each monthly meeting, inform about local application security events and special chapter offers.

Location
The Boston OWASP Chapter meets the FIRST WEDNESDAY of every month, 6:30 pm at the Microsoft offices at the Waltham Weston Corporate Center, 201 Jones Rd., Sixth Floor Waltham, MA.

From Rt. 128 North take exit 26 toward Waltham, East up the hill on Rt. 20. From Rt 128 South take exit 26 but go around the rotary to get to 20 East to Waltham. Follow signs for Rt. 117 (left at the second light). When you get to 117 turn left (West). You will cross back over Rt. 128. Jones Rd. (look for the Waltham Weston Corporate Center sign) is the second left, at a blinking yellow light, on Rt. 117 going west about 0.1 miles from Rt. 128 (I95). The office building is at the bottom of Jones Rd. Best parking is to turn right just before the building and park in the back. Knock on the door to get the security guard to open it. The room is MPR C.

Reviews
Security Podcast Reviews I've been listening to lots of Computer Security presentations on my iPod (MP3 files) and I've found them a great way to spend some of the 5 hours a week commuting time I have. I thought I'd share my opinion of the ones I've found, and maybe some of you can let us know your opinions of any security podcasts you know of. Most of these I found using iTunes as the podcast aggregator, but I've included their direct links and their own self description. Most you can subscribe to, but some are from a portal of single podcasts. Generally no one's background, experience or job is described. None of these are particularly about web application security except MightySeek, but they can be interesting. There are others explicitly about network or VOIP security that I have not included. I've included the iPod display and iTunes description in order to judge how easy it is to select the one you want on your iPod and to manage them in your library, like remembering which ones you've listened to and deleting them.
