Hack x Colombia – What Happened
As I told you a few weeks ago, I've just finished my talk at the Hack X Colombia community event, which took place in Bogotá and Medellín.
On this talk, I spoke about the typical Web security attacks, including SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). Unfortunately, because of timing issues I wasn't able to finish the talk, and were only able to speak about the first subject.
However, the talk was carried on perfectly fine and the people received me wonderfully.
I'd like to thank the event organization for allowing me to participate, and all of the assistants for staying during my talk.
For those of you who wish to see the talk, here is the link:
https://mkit.webex.com/mkit/ldr.php?AT=pb&SP=MC&rID=96630287&rKey=e0643df9e3428292
You'll have to install the WebEx Client, at the following link: http://www.webex.com/play-webex-recording.html
Here is the PDF presentation of the talk (Spanish): Hack_X_Colombia_-_Seguridad_Web
See you next time!
Hack for Colombia
From Colombia we meet again with another community event, related to hacking. Just like in 1 Hack for the kids, the event I'm talking about is Hack X Colombia, an event organized by experts and professionals in information security issues, hacking and related technologies, with the purpose of collaborating with communities that support kids in disability and limited resources in Colombia.
Unlike the event in Argentina, this one will have a fee. However, the purpose is the same, to help needed children, so the philanthropic soul remains
The event will be held on October 8th, 2011, in both Bogotá and Medellín.
