Presented by the Quality Assurance Forum

Growing application complexity, coupled with the exploding increase in application surface area, has resulted in new quality challenges for testers. Some test teams are adopting a tour-based testing methodology because it’s incredibly good at breaking down testing into manageable chunks. However, hackers are paying close attention to systems and developing new targeted attacks to stay one step ahead.

Rafal Los takes you inside the hacker’s world, identifying the landmarks hackers target within applications and showing you how to identify the defects they seek out.

Learn what "landmarks” are, how to identify them from functional specifications, and how to tailor negative testing strategies to different landmark categories. Test teams, already choked for time and resources and now saddled with security testing, will learn how to pinpoint the defect - from the mountains of vulnerabilities often uncovered in security testing - that could compromise the entire application.

Meet the Speaker: Rafal Los, Hewlett-Packard Rafal Los, Web Application Security SME with Hewlett-Packard's Application Security Center (ASC), is a 10+ industry veteran who has worked in a variety of security positions - from consultant to Information Security Officer in the Fortune 100 - within some of the most demanding business environments.

Rafal’s unique blend of technical expertise and business knowledge enable him to teach audiences about security techniques, programs and processes that they can both understand strategically, and realistically apply. He has extensive experience in security testing, risk analysis and management, penetration testing and architecture and policy. Rafal is an accomplished writer maintaining 2 popular blogs with numerous appearances in the mainstream media and niche sites such as Slashdot. Previous successes include building and implementing a successful web application security program for one of the largest and most diverse companies in the world.

You've got one last chance to experience Flux magic tonight! Flux is closing and we need all the furniture out TOnight.

We still got 2 Big sofas to give away (bring a truck truck).

There's 2 really nice desks left. Green Velvet swivel Sofa chair (see picture), 2 red sofa chairs, 2 large sturdy work tables, one long folding table, a bunch of nice office chairs (6 I think?) and an opportunity to finally drink booze in Flux. I just gotta get the stuff out, mop the floors and call it done.

Tomorrow I'm meting with the landlord to turn over the keys. 412 NW Couch St Suite 222 6pm till it's done (I'm hoping 8 or 9pm).

Thanks everyone for making last night so fun! molly

Come join us for an Esri GeoDev Meetup at Portland City Grill. In addition to our regularly scheduled technosocial for geospatial developers, we have also included HackerLab, a four-hour, hand-on guided tutorial for developers using ArcGIS Online and building Web apps.

Once again, we are hosting a HackerLab event in Portland, OR! This will be a four-hour, hands-on, strategically guided lab aimed at people new to JavaScript to introduce Esri Leaflet, which makes it a pleasure to drop ArcGIS services into most everyone’s favorite Open Source web mapping library.

The tutorials will be led by John Gravois, who loves making maps for the web. He will give you time to play in between the tutorials. Snacks will be there for you to munch on.

This is a BYOM, BYOI, BYOA, and BYOD event: bring your own machine (seriously, we don't have any extras), ideas, apps and data. Yeah.

Oh and here is a list of the required materials:

1. Computer

2. Smart text editor (think Notepad++, Sublime) installed

3. Local web server running (check out this guide if you need help setting it up)

4. ArcGIS for Developers or ArcGIS Organizational account

HackerLab Agenda:
