October Meeting

Presentation: The first of the OWASP top ten: unvalidated input, by Steve Buck.

At this meeting we will be discussing the first of the OWASP top ten list: unvalidated input. We will discuss the problems posed by not validating input on the server side. These problems include: forced browsing, command insertion, cross site scripting, buffer overflows, bypassing site security, format string attacks, SQL injection, cookie poisoning, and hidden field manipulation.

We will cover how to determine if you are vulnerable to one of these attacks, and also how to protect yourself. We will also have a demo of some of these exploits in action. Finally, we will have an open discussion with any questions about the subject matter.
