[Project] AWS-Card-Spotter
I’ve been (very) quite recently for a number of reasons which I’ll not bore everyone with; but I have recently started to get my hands dirty in the new (to me) world of AWS. As an ex-physical datacentre hosting monkey, this takes a bit of getting used to as I’m still seeing things through the […]
OWASP at Northumbria Uni – June 2010
June 16th marked the first time the Open Web Application Security Project’s (OWASP) Leeds/Northern Chapter ran an event at Northumbria University, meaning it was the first time I was able to attend. Overall I really enjoyed the event, I’m hoping that the Leeds/Northern OWASP chapter decide to run more events within Newcastle, but if not it’s convinced me that the events are worth the time and cost to travel down to the other locations. Always good to discuss infosec topics face to face with some really knowledgeable people.
ReportSpammers.net
I was recently pointed towards www.reportspammers.net, which is a good resource for all things spam related and is steadily increased the quantity and quality of the information available.

SuperMondays – Barcamp style
This months SuperMondays was a deviation from the usual format; rather than speaker followed by Q&A the event was run in a similar format to Barcamp. This meant that there were several simultaneous conversations ongoing at any one time with attendees floating between discussions and chipping in as appropriate.

BCS Exit Survey
I recently recieved my renewal reminder for the BCS, I’ve been increasingly disappointed with the ‘advantages’ of being a member. Whilst I don’t like not being a member of a professional body for my craft, I simply cannot justify the cost any longer.
