• Group: Des Moines Web Geeks
  
• Topic: Web Applications and Security
• Time: Monday, April 6th at 7:00 PM
• Place: Impromptu Studio – 300 Southwest Fifth Street – Suite 220 – Des Moines, Iowa 50309

The Des Moines Web Geeks are a group of web developers.  At this monthly meeting, I will be giving a talk on web applications and security.  The talk is aimed at experienced web developers and technologists.  We will talk about basic attacks and then play with some tools and hopefully run attacks on some web sites.  We’ll try to have some sample sites running, but for a really good time, get permission from your companies to attack your own sites.

After each presentation, I will post the materials on my website.  However, the more the merrier, so please come and join the discussion.
