[EdLUG] Penetration-Testing Webapps - Tuesday 6th July

[Thomas Kluyver]

Hi all,

On Tuesday next week, we've got another security focused talk from Panda, following on from their talk on Wordpress security in May. This one is going to be on penetration testing - i.e. trying to hack your own site to find weaknesses. Panda describes it as:

-----

A walkthrough of hacking a webapp for standard users up to admins and devs. After the talk, I'll send out the slide deck, which will include links to references and resources. The talk will include

* Reconnaissance
* Identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities
* Recommended remediation for vulnerabilities identified

As part of the above,

* Tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP)
* Tools used

-----

As usual, we'll meet at 7pm and aim to start the talk at 7.15. We're still meeting virtually on Tai's Bigbluebutton server (go to https://links.taikedz.net/?id=bbb-edlug at the appropriate time). The event is also on Opentechcalendar and meetup.com:

Finally, if there's anything you'd like to give a talk on, or if you know someone who might do a talk, please come forward. EdLUG traditionally doesn't meet in August, so the next slot is in early September, and you'd have a couple of months to prepare something. We have a wiki page with some ideas for possible talks here: https://gitlab.com/edlug/Meetings/-/wikis/Call-for-Talks

See you next week,
Thomas
