=Courses= Courses will be held in two tracks: four in the morning session, and four in the afternoon session. Each participant can register for one morning course, one afternoon course, or one of each.

AWS API Threat Modeling and Automated Testing
Instructor: Kendra Ash

Abstract: If you are a software, DevOps, QA or security engineer and want to learn how to threat model API's in AWS this course is for you. This course will cover the what, why, when, and how of threat modeling applications in your organization. The bulk of this course will be based on the book Threat Modeling by Adam Shostack and will leverage a variant of the Escalation of Privileges card game. Also, I will dive into the approach I have used to gain adoption from engineering teams as a security engineer. After gaining an understanding of threat modeling, we will dive into how we can automate security checks for an AWS environment — leveraging the AWS CLI tool to provide quick engineering feedback on ways to improve the security of their infrastructure.

Bio: Kendra Ash (@securelykash) is an information security engineer at Vacasa, actively building a security team and program by leveraging guidance from her network and industry standards.

Applied Physical Attacks on Embedded Systems, Introductory Version
Instructor: Joe FitzPatrick

Abstract: This workshop introduces several different relatively accessible interfaces on embedded systems. Attendees will get hands-on experience with UART, SPI, and JTAG interfaces on a MIPS-based wifi router. After a brief architectural overview of each interface, hands-on labs will guide through the process understanding, observing, interacting with, and exploiting the interface to potentially access a root shell on the target.

Security Tools and Jenkins Pipeline
Instructor: Sneha Kokil

Abstract: Modern application development embeds security activities in SDLC, while adopting DevSecOps culture. Security tools are being viewed in the context of continuous integration and automation, which are the key factors in achieving a successful DevSecOps implementation. Integrating security tools in the CI/CD pipelines has become a primary focus of most of the organizations, who are striving to build application security from within. This workshop focuses on getting a good understanding of how some of the open source security tools can be integrated in Jenkins CI/CD pipeline for languages such as Go and Java, along with application container scanning solutions. The workshop will be a hands-on experience, where the participants will write their own pipeline code for integrating security tools. The key takeaways from this workshop will help participants experience how security tooling fits into CI/CD pipelines. It will also help them appreciate the real-world challenges and possible solutions, when integrating security in existing SDLC.

Bio: Sneha Kokil is a senior security consultant at Synopsys. With a master's degree in information security from Northeastern University, along with several years of development and security experience, she specializes in integrating software security toolchains within SDLC processes. She is immensely passionate about DevSecOps and how it helps building security in. Outside of work, she is an avid biography and science fiction reader, a swimmer, and a mother to a wonderful daughter.

OWASP Top 10 / Juice Shop Hack Session
Instructor: David Quisenberry

Abstract: This session is meant for those new to OWASP Top Ten. We will go over the OWASP Top Ten - where it came from, what it’s good for, what are the top ten, etc. And illustrate the concepts in the OWASP Top Ten through another OWASP Flagship Project - The OWASP Juice Shop. This will be a hands on class so everyone can follow along in the Juice Shop to explore the concepts. There will be time at the end for everyone to continue on their vulnerability hunting and a friendly Juice Shop CTF.

Bio: David Quisenberry (@dmqpdx16) is a backend developer and security champion with Daylight Studio, a local Portland boutique web agency. He serves on the Portland OWASP board as Outreach/Events coordinator and does what he can to up the involvement of established and emerging software developers in security conversations.

Prerequisites: Laptop capable of running docker and burpsuite.

Advanced Application Security Testing
Instructor: Timothy Morgan

Abstract: This course takes students beyond the most basic web application exploitation scenarios, focusing on advanced SQL injection, XML eXternal Entities (XXE) and server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks. The course also covers out-of-band detection and exfiltration using the DNS, which has recently become a popular technique used by penetration testers.

Prerequisites: Students should be familiar with popular web application testing proxies such as Burp Proxy or OWASP ZAP. Some experience with basic SQL injection attacks is recommended.

Container Security
Instructor: Alex Ivkin

Abstract: "When it comes to container security there are two prevailing schools of thought - either containers are secure by default, so you should not care much, or containers can not be secure in principle, so you should avoid them at all costs. In this training you will go through the real world examples of configuring and running containers in a secure manner. You will get insights into the security of both Windows and Linux containers, container infrastructure, such as container registries and orchestration platforms - docker swarm and kubernetes. We will examine real world vulnerabilities unique to different architectures of containers and how to address them.

Takeaways:
 * 1) Building and running docker containers securely
 * 2) Avoiding common pitfalls in docker infrastructure setup (dockerd, docker registry)
 * 3) Navigating security in the container orchestration platforms (docker swarm, kubernetes)"

Bio: Alex Ivkin (@alerxes) is a Director of Solutions at Eclypsium, a local Portland company, specializing in firmware, hardware and supply chain security. Alex has deep implementation experience in a long list of security domains, including cloud, application security and IAM. He co-authored the ISACA CSX Professional certification and is an alpine climber.

Prerequisites:
 * Mid to advanced level technical experience
 * Basic experience with running docker containers
 * Laptop with docker for windows setup and tested

Intro to Chrome Exploitation
Instructor: Justin Angra

Abstract: Over 3 billion browser devices are actively loading arbitrary data served by someone else. What happens if one of those pages contains maliciously crafted JavaScript? Could they capture your passwords, perform UXSS, or worse - execute local code on your machine? In this session, you will get the opportunity to explore the anatomy and play with common vulnerability patterns in the renderer process of Chrome. This will be an interactive class; please bring a laptop with Docker installed.

OWASP Amass: Discovering Your Exposure on the Internet
Instructor: Jeff Foley 

Abstract: Today, large organizations deal with the challenge of running their infrastructure across many networks and namespaces due to the use of cloud and hosting services, legacy environments and acquisitions. This can make it difficult to maintain visibility of Internet-facing assets and to track down systems that pose a risk to security. The OWASP Amass Project has developed a tool to help information security professionals perform network mapping of attack surfaces and perform external asset discovery. During this talk, the founder of the project will discuss how OWASP Amass uses OSINT, network reconnaissance, graph databases and information sharing to provide both attackers and defenders better visibility of target organizations.

Bio: Jeff Foley is the Founder and Project Leader of the OWASP Amass project. Mr. Foley has nearly 20 years of experience as an innovator for research & development, software engineering and red team activities in information security. He is a results-driven technical leader known for delivering game-changing research findings to overcome real-world challenges.
