My talk at the Web Directions North conference in Denver, Colorado. It covers basic technologies and methodologies of attacks of web applications, what we can do against them and a plea for making interfaces more educational about security than scaring users.

2. Disclaimer:
The following is a personal presentation
and the views do not necessarily reflect
those of my employer or the conference
organizer!
There will be strong language, public
exposure (of security issues) and some
strong opinions.
Viewer discretion is advised.
99. How about
“giving your login and password for
one system to another system is like
writing your pin number on your
credit card and asking a stranger to
buy something for you!”
122. Stay curious to poke at things
and find out their flaws and
report them!
123. THANKS!
