upcoming OWASP

Posted on August 6, 2008
Filed Under General |

I’ve decided to change a bit the look of BlackHat to make it more human-readable.
so people wont die trying to read the text over the black background.

in addition, the upcoming israeli (shame) conference called OWASP “Security” will take place at August 14
probably the quality of the talks wont even come close to those in Blackhat/Defcon since most of the people there arent hackers(-people who live/breathe/research computers & techlology) , but miserable Web Application penetration testers who entered the security area because of the easy money.
dispite all of this, i’m going to attend this con’ for three main reasons:
1. i dont have anything better to do
2. hey, its a free pizza after all :)
3. i can use a good laugh.
