TriLUG, Mar 11: Web Security 101

Many of you may already keep track of the TriLUG (Triangle Linux Users 
Group) meetings, but those of you who don't may appreciate knowing about 
tomorrow's meeting. Please consider coming out to hear Michael Peters of 
Plus Three deliver his talk on "Web Security 101". Here is a description 
of his talk, as listed on the TriLUG website:

"Security is important in any programming environment but programming 
for the web has some unique possibilities and hazards. Most web 
programmers have little to no training in security and lots of web 
development is done by people who don't wear a full-time developer hat. 
Add to this the fact that bad security on a web project can have very 
public and very embarassing consequences.

This talk will walk through the basics of web security without focussing 
too much on the particular language that you choose (but all examples 
will be in Perl and PHP). We'll also look at various attack vectors (SQL 
Injection, XSS, CSRF, and more) and see how you can avoid them. Whether 
you're an experienced web developer (we all need reminding) or just 
starting out, this talk can help avoid being the next easy harvest of 
The Bad Guys."

The meeting begins at 7pm and is held at RedHat Headquarters on NCSU's 
Centennial Campus. Full meeting details can be found here:

We look forward to seeing you there.

Kind regards,
Justis Peters
