"AppSec Research".equals("AppSec Europe")
This conference was formerly known as OWASP AppSec Europe. We have added 'Research' to highlight that we invite both industry and academia. All the regular AppSec Europe visitors and topics are welcome along with contributions from universities and research institutes.

This simply is the European conference for anyone interested in or working with application security. Co-host 2010 was the Department of Computer and Systems Science at Stockholm University, offering a great venue in the fabulous Aula Magna.

Stay Informed ... and Tell Others
People subscribed to the conference mailing list. This was the official information channel and you'd be sure to get any updates and practical info before the conference.

People added the event to their LinkedIn profle to tell all their business contacts that AppSec Research 2010 was the place to be.

Then people got on the Twitter stream by using the tags #OWASP and #AppSecEU.

You can choose hotel/hostel freely in Stockholm but we provided three suggestions with pre-booked rooms so many OWASPers are staying there. Check with sites like hotels.com since they might have better prices than the hotels state themselves!

Official Meet Up at "Mosebacke", Tuesday, June 22
Regardless whether you're one of the lucky ones who will attend training or you'll just attend the conference you are invited to join us at "Mosebacke" on the evening the 22nd. Mosebacke is one of Stockholm's older establishments and is beautifully situated in the south of Stockholm city (only 2 subway stations from Central Station). The official meet up time is 20:00 CEST. We plan on beverage only, but for those who don't mind spending a little extra money on food, you can reserve a table for early evening by calling +46 8 556 098 90 during 2 pm - 5 pm (work days) or with some luck by e-mailing to mosebacke@mosebacke.se.

How will you recognize all the other OWASPers? Some of us will have OWASP-branded grey caps, some you met earlier, some you recognize from pictures, and if you hear any non-Swedish speaking male I guess chances are they're just like you - here for the AppSec conference :).

AppSec Research Final Challenge: Internet Treasure Hunt
It's May 21st, one month to AppSec Research 2010, and the last chance to win a free ticket to this year's number one conference in appsec.

The Treasure Hunt in a Nutshell Your mission is to find several small AppSec Research logotypes hidden among the websites of our sponsors and hosts. Every logo found is associated with a keyword (a dictionary word) in some way. When you've found all the keywords you email them to us.



Instructions
 * Please don't do anything malicious during your hunt. And don't produce considerable load on the websites. You should be able to find the keywords anyway :).
 * To check if you found all keywords you compare the md5 of all keywords concatenated in alphabetical order with this hash: 1a7b54ba9cee6cccd9890e7800b83208
 * You can calculate the hash by doing the following in a shell: echo "Keywords concatenated in alphabetical order" | md5
 * To ensure your hash function produces the same as our you can try: echo "owasp" | md5 ... which should result in the hash 2bdce47b1a6c527b134d4b658b033702

How to Win To win you email all keywords (not the hash) concatenated in alphabetical order to stefan dot pettersson at owasp dot org. Stefan will let you know if you were the first one with the correct answer!

Example:
 * You found three logos and the keywords were: golf, king, apple
 * You calculate the hash by doing: echo "applegolfking" | md5
 * If the hash matches 1a7b54ba9cee6cccd9890e7800b83208 you email applegolfking to Stefan.

Let the best hunter win!
