Monday, September 21, 2009 - Ryan Barnett The Web Hacking Incident Database (WHID) - 2009 Analysis
Room opens at 5:30 PM Central Time, speaker at 6:30 PM Central Time, meeting location TBD

 Preview

The Web Hacking Incident Database (WHID) is a Web Application Security Consortium project dedicated to maintaining a list of web application related security incidents. WHID's goal is to serve as a tool for raising awareness of the web application security problem and provide information for statistical analysis of web application security incidents. The database is unique in tracking only media reported security incidents that can be associated with a web application security vulnerability. This presentation will highlight the statistics gathered from January 2009 - August 2009 and provide insight into categories such as: 1) Top Attack Methods, 2) Top Compromise Outcomes, 3) Top Target Geographic Region, and 4) Top Vertical Markets Hit. The presenter will also provide some in depth analysis for emerging threats/attack techniques such as planting of malware on websites and reflected cross-site scripting through SQL injection.
