Sorry I have not been around the past couple of weeks (month!), I been out of the country, busy with work, the house, and life in general.

I am doing at talk in Northern Virgina at OWASP on November 9th, 2006 at 7PM. My talk is titled "Investigating JavaScript and Ajax Security." Out of all of the talks I do at conferences and user groups, this is probably the best talk to do. Why? I have fun and I scare people!

Two buzz words that seem to be very big lately on the internet is Ajax and Security. During this talk, I will highlight the problems that come up with Ajax applications. A lot of the issues relate to what you have been doing all along! Other topics such as the Ajax worms, the advertiser's dream script (I know where you been!), form hacks, and scripted attacks will be covered.

I will pack in as much information as I can in this talk so bring a brain (if you have one) and some anxiety medication since JavaScript injection is more that an infinite loop with an alert!

Hope to see you there!
