Developing with security in mind

[zakkak]

As more and more services are being deployed on the cloud or on devices that are almost always connected to the cloud/web, I believe developers should become aware of penetration testing techniques and tools to help them protect the end-users.

I would like to hear about:

• Best practices
• Popular tools
  • Automated penetration testing (that could probably be hooked to CI (#29)
  • Sanitizers
  • Fuzzers
• Security focused static analysis tools
• ... (if you are familiar with the topic please add more)

@zakkak very very interesting subject. It surely touches on the more/most advanced issues albeit one of the most basic that form the fabric of infrastructures in general.

I would suggest a minor title change to "developing with security in mind", in order to get to the bottom of this by starting from the beginning.

The sub topics could be

• Penetration testing
• Testing in general (security in mind)
• Certifications and Protocols
• Code review

and more.

Hey all! This one has been decided as the topic of our 7th meetup on February 11, 2016. Are there any interested speakers? If so, please comment below using the :speaker: emoji!

Is it possible to schedule meetings on weekends, so we can attend too? I am located in Rethymno and it isn't easy to attend on Thursdays.

[kabitakis]

Well, I think it wouldn't be possible for the next two meetups, which have been arranged. We've already discussed this issue during a beerup - beer meeting of the community to take decisions on various issues - and most people involved are ok with the day. However, we are an open community and you can open a new issue suggesting your ideas. Maybe we could also start a new meetup series in Rethymno, or presenting some topics there. There are lots of options we can discuss if you are interested, but we need to do it in another issue :)

[nikos90]

Sure! :)

Please add the topics you can/are willing to cover when you volunteer as a speaker. This way we can see the coverage of the topic and if we are missing anything.
