Past Events
The next two Owasp-London events will be:


 * Thursday 22nd February
 * Location: The Water Poet Pub, Liverpool St, London map, description
 * We are going to use the downstairs room which you can access from the back of the pub
 * Presentations:
 * by Dinis Cruz (Chief OWASP Evangelist) :
 * OWASP, the Open Web Application Security Project 30m - The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is an open community dedicated to enabling organizations to develop, purchase, and maintain applications that can be trusted. All of the OWASP tools, documents, blogs, and chapters are free and open to anyone interested in improving application security. In this presentation Dinis will show the latest guides and tools from OWASP which should be part of every company's security efforts.
 * Buffer Overflows on .Net and Asp.Net 30m - One of the common myths about the .Net Framework is that it is immune to Buffer Overflows. Although this might be correct in pure managed and verifiable .Net code, large percentage of .Net and Asp.Net applications code is unmanaged code. In this talk Dinis will show the areas in .Net and Asp.Net applications that are vulnerable to Buffer Overflows (including the demo of a .Net Buffer Overflow Fuzzer).
 * 0wning Vista's userland - The CAS / UAC missed opportunity, and what I think MS should had done - In this presentation Dinis will explore the missed opportunity by Microsoft to use technologies like .Net's CAS (Code Access Security) and Vista's UAC (User Access Control) to create secure and trustworthy userland environments that protect the user's assets. In the hope that might make a small difference, ideas and solutions for the future will also be presented.
