SOUG: Attack Your Database Before Others Do

SOUG, also know as the Suncoast Oracle Users Group, is holding it's montly meeting tomorrow night in Tampa. The meeting is held at the PricewaterhouseCoopers facilities located across the street from Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Todd DeSantis, of Sentrigo will be presenting. I will not try and recreate the presentation description, I'll just practice the fine art of cut and paste.

In this presentation, we will show typical security flaws found in PL/SQL and Java code due to programmer mistakes. We will demonstrate how to use existing open-source scanning and fuzzing tools to automatically find and flag such flaws, and also demonstrate how creating your own tools in PL/SQL can help you keep your code secure.

In this presentation, you will learn:
1. Common security mistakes developers make
2. How to use open source tools to find those mistakes
3. How to roll out your own PL/SQL fuzzer
