Last night I performed a new talk that I have been working on called, Web Application Security using DVWA.

The aim of the talk was to get the user familiar with the DVWA project and how it can be using not to learn how to exploit, but how to stop attackers compromising the web application.

The consisted of three parts, I talked about myself slightly and introduced what I did. I then went on to talk about the DVWA project, what it was, what was happening to it, what it does, how it works and who created it. Then finally I talked about the command execution vulnerability and the cross site scripting reflected and how low, medium and high security can help a web developer secure the web app and understand how applications can be vulnerable to attack.

There were some good questions asked at the end and thankfully I could answer them all.

All in all I thought the talk went really well, there are a few things that I need to tweak slightly for future talks but apart from that I now have my first talk that I can give at other conferences/user groups. So if anyone is reading this and would like to hear the talk at their conference or user group drop me a tweet @tmacuk or an email at tmac<—@—>tmacuk.co.uk and we can arrange me coming and giving the talk.

The talk was recorded and I will upload it as soon as possible.

Cheers,
