WebAppSec.php: Developing Secure Web Applications
Web applications are the new frontier of wide‐spread security breaches. This tutorial will guide through development practices to ensure the security and integrity of web applications, in turn protecting user data and the infrastructure the application runs on. Several attack types and risks will be reviewed (including OWASP’s Top 10), along with how the proper development practices can mitigate their damage. Although examples covered are PHP‐based, much of the content is also applicable to other languages.

Instructor: Robert Zakon Robert Zakon is a technology consultant and developer who has been programming web applications since the Web's infancy. In addition to developing web applications for web sites receiving millions of daily hits, he works with organizations in an interim CTO capacity, and advises corporations, non‐profits and government agencies on technology, information, and security architecture and infrastructure. Robert is a former Principal Engineer with MITRE's Information Security Center, CTO of an Internet consumer portal and application service provider, and Director of a university research lab. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE, and holds BS & MS degrees from Case Western Reserve University in Computer Engineering & Science with concentrations in Philosophy & Psychology. His interests are diverse and can be explored at www.Zakon.org where his vitae is available.

The Art of Exploiting SQL Injections
This is a full day hands on training course which will typically target penetration testers, security auditors/administrators and even web developers  to learn advanced exploitation techniques. SQL Injection, although now nearly 15 years old, still exists in over 30% of the web applications. This vulnerability could typically result in 3 scenarios:


 * 1) Authentication Bypass
 * 2) Extraction of arbitrary sensitive data from the database
 * 3) Access and compromise of the internal network.

To identify the true impact of this vulnerability it is essential that the vulnerability gets exploited to the full extent. While there is a reasonably good awareness when it comes to identify this problem, there are still a lot of grey areas when it comes to exploitation or even identifying complex vulnerabilities like a 2nd order injections. This training will target 3 databases (MS-SQL, Mysql, Oracle) and discuss a variety of exploitation techniques to exploit each scenario. The aim of the training course is to address the following:


 * 1) Identify the most complicated sql injections which are beyond the scope of any automated tool?
 * 2) Identify and Extract sensitive data from back-end database?
 * 3) Privilege Escalation  within the database and extracting data with database admin privilege?
 * 4) OS code execution on these database server and use this as a pivot to attack internal network?

Instructor: Sumit Siddharth Sumit "sid" Siddharth works as a Principal Security Consultant (Penetration Tester) for 7Safe Limited in the UK. He specializes in the application and database security and has more than 5 years of pentesting. Sid has authored a number of whitepapers and tools. He has been a speaker at many security conferences including Blackhat, Defcon, Troopers, OWASP Appsec, Sec-T etc. He also runs the popular IT security blog: www.notsosecure.com

Walter E. Washington Convention Center
AppSec DC 2010 will be taking place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in downtown Washington DC.

The convention center is located over the Mount Vernon Square/Convention Center Metro stop on the Green and Yellow lines of the DC Metro, and only a few blocks from our convention hotel, the Grand Hyatt Washington (reserve rooms here).

Hotel
The Grand Hyatt is our hotel sponsor again for this year. Hotel rooms can be booked at a discounted rate prior to October 15th using this link: https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_gi_new&groupID=2766908

Sponsors
We are currently soliciting sponsors for the AppSec DC Conference. Please refer to our sponsorship opportunities for details.

Slots are going fast so contact us to sponsor today!

Traveling to the DC Metro Area
The Washington DC Area is serviced by three airports -- Reagan National (DCA), Dulles (IAD), and Thurgood Marshall Baltimore/Washington International (BWI). All currently have available transportation to downtown DC via public transportation, shuttles, or cab.

Washington DC is also serviced by Amtrak, VRE, and MARC train lines, which arrive in Union Station, a few metro stops or a short cab ride away from the convention center and the Grand Hyatt.

If you live in the DC Metropolitan area, we suggest taking Metro to the event. The convention center is located over the Mount Vernon Square/Convention Center Metro stop on the Green and Yellow lines of the DC Metro.
