Webcast: Getting Started with Burp Suite & Webapp Pentesting Dec 07, 2020

Show notes

Are you responsible for the security of webapps? Are you curious about how penetration testers are able to find vulnerabilities in them? Burp Suite is the preferred tool for many webapp pentesters and bug bounty hunters. It’s easy to get started in Burp, but not all of its features are easy to find or simple to configure. If you’ve ever watched someone else use Burp, you’ve no doubt picked up something useful from them: everyone seems to have their own tricks for getting more out of it. In this live one-hour Black Hills Information Security (BHIS) webcast, BB King will walk through how he sets up Burp for his own webapp and Web API pentests. Then he’ll show the settings, tools, and BApp Store Extensions that help him perform better tests. If you have any responsibility related to webapps – even if it’s not pentesting them – you may find that Burp Suite can help you. If you already use Burp Suite, come see how one of our testers does it and we bet you’ll find a thing or two you can take back and use on your next security assessment.

Webcast: Pretty Little Python Secrets - Episode 2 - Python Development & Packaging as Beautiful as a Poem Dec 04, 2020

Show notes

Have you ever tried packaging a Python library/app in order to upload it to the Python Package repository (Pypi)? Not so straight forward is it? There’s a gazillion files you need (setup.py, Manifiest.ini, etc..) which all do different things. On top of that, there’s a decent amount of overhead to configure the necessary settings in order to expose any command line interface (CLI) tools your packaging. Additionally, you also need to manage dependencies, keep them in sync with your requirements.txt files and install third-party applications in order to upload them to Pypi. That’s after you even manage to setup a proper development environment and necessary virtual environments for your dependencies. Ever wonder if there’s a simpler solution that takes care of everything for you? In this Black Hills Information Security (BHIS) webcast, Marcello will show you how to make the entire Python development & packaging process as short and simple as a Haiku (https://python-poetry.org/). He’ll also show you the setup/workflow that he uses for all of his Python projects and throw in some pro tips along the way. Missed the first episode?
