<br>Hacked: Teaching the Good Guys Bad Tricks<br><br>You can&#39;t fight a war that you don&#39;t know you&#39;re waging. You can&#39;t defend your website against attack unless you know the tricks that the bad guys will use.<br>

<br>Join Andy Prow, Managing Director of Aura Software Security, as he demonstrates and discusses attacks and defences in action. By the end of this session you&#39;ll have an understanding of some of the common attacks such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Domain Request Forgery (CDRF), and will have an appreciation of how layering your defences (defence-in-depth) can help protect you from exploit chaining.<br>

<br>The session will also give you some practical tips that you can apply straight away to help you design, build and manage more secure websites.<br><br>Note: Light lunch provided. Free for <span class="il">NZCS</span> members, inexpensive for 
others.<br><br>Registration required at the following URL:<br><a href="http://www.nzcs.org.nz/events/waikato_bop/204-Hacked">http://www.nzcs.org.nz/events/waikato_bop/204-Hacked</a><br><br clear="all">Regards,<br><br>David Hallett, BSc, MNZCS ITCP<br>
