We’re excited that this July will be our first meetup with a theme - security! We’ve got a talk about the OWASP Top Ten followed by a OWASP Juice Shop workshop, both from some excellent security professionals. As usual - after the talk and workshop we’ll share some pizza and a drink together!
Everyone is welcome - whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned professional! While we’re primarily a Ruby/Rails meetup, many of the topics will be applicable to all tech stacks.
Host: The team at PaperKite will host us at their offices and are kindly sponsoring the pizza and drinks.
PaperKite is a digital agency with a strong focus on mobile application development. They provide the tech behind BPMe, and are currently working with Te Whatu Ora on an app for everyone in Aotearoa called My Health Record.
Talk: The OWASP Top Ten — Jim Rush, Security Consultant
This talk is a crash course in the OWASP Top Ten for developers (and why you should care), including a heap of real world examples and exploitation techniques for common software security vulnerabilities.
Workshop: Learn to Hack with OWASP Juice Shop — Nick Malcolm, Security at GitLab
Bring your laptop, or team up with a friend! This workshop will get you started with OWASP Juice Shop, an intentionally vulnerable web app you can self-host and learn hacking skills on without getting in trouble. Suitable for all skill levels, covering the OWASP Top 10 and more.
We’ll make sure a hosted instance of the Juice Shop is available but if you’d like to set it up locally (e.g. with Docker) visit https://pwning.owasp-juice.shop/companion-guide/latest/part1/running.html
Schedule: Doors open at 5pm and we’ll kick off at 5.20pm.
