OWASP AppSec Conf Delhi - Day 2; and more

The pictures of Day 2 are here.
The second day consisted of 6 workshops - 3 before lunch and 3 after. I was confused on choosing between Sheeraj Shah and Mano Paul’s workshops during the first half; and Jason Li’s talk on “Web 2.0  Security” and “Secure Code Review” workshop (originally by Dinis Cruz, but conducted [...]

OWASP AppSec Conf Delhi - Day 1

Special Note: I don’t have my Canon EOS 350D with me nowadays, so I had to borrow my roomates Canon Powershot. The quality sucks, but still, the pictures are here.
I’ll be honest, going by the conf prices and some of the talk titles; I was expecting OWASP AppSec Delhi to be targeted mainly for [...]

No more lectures now…

Randy Pausch, fondly known as the Last Lecture Guy, is no more.
If you have not heard of him, I suggest you watch his “last lecture”. A summary of the lecture and Randy Pausch’s life can be read here.

p.s.:
@Johnny: Thanks for updating me.
@Slashdot-ters: Thanks for not making stupid and mean remarks this time.
@Randy Pausch: Rest In [...]

SecurCamp and back.

I spent the first half of the day at SecurCamp -1 (or Security Barcamp). It always great to get together with the community and today was no different. It came a sweet surprise to me that I have quite a few acquaintances in the community. The best part of the whole day, however, was getting [...]

A new home for us :)

People who know me, know that I desist Social networking portals. Don’t worry, this post isn’t another rant. It’s more of an announcement that I’ve joined a Social Network
Yup! The guys at GNUCitizen have started a social network for hackers, and very intelligently named it House of Hackers. I’d like to call it [...]

I have a special likeness for T-Shirt with quotes. More Geeky the quote, more geekier… I mean better.
I got this T-Shirt made for myself a couple of days ago.
I case you didn’t get, it’s a mockery of the crippled iPhone.

Oh by the way, this is my first post on the new blog, and this pic [...]

A Phish floating in Google Survey!

Demo
1. Phizy-Phizy-Phizy
I have always loved making this phizy-phizy-phizy sound purposelessly, which I once heard in a Rob Schneider movie (which, if I remember correctly, was a pathetic movie). Anyhoo! I, now, have a set of very strong reasons to move around repeating the same lines.
First, we received a request to be involved in a [...]

The Web is Broken

Update: I somehow managed to make a blunder. A part of slide no. 12 was taken from David Kierznowski’s (of GNUCitizen and Blogsecurity group) presentation for OWASP Belgium Conf. I missed out on mentioning David’s name is the credits. Apologies David. I’ve updated and re-uploaded it.
Yesterday, I presented my first Webinar (Seminar on [...]

NoScript: For Guaranteed Protection From Evil IFrames

I know, I know… the title sounds like a cheap promotion ad.
As I mentioned in my previous entry that Giorgio has addressed our (mine and Gareth’s) request to block iframes using NoScript. I must, however, admit that I did not expect it to be this fast. NoScript 1.1.7.1 (SilverNight) is here. The changelog [...]

IFrames - To be or not to be?

Update: Aah. It’s not that there couldn’t have been any better news :P, but today’s News is that Ma1 has agreed to provide feature to block frames through NoScript from the next version (1.1.7). NoScripts Rocks.
Oh and Yes! Ma1 Rocks too …;)
I have been pretty busy since the last few weeks (and this trend [...]
