Yesterday we had our 2nd OWASP Chapter Innsbruck meeting with a great presentation from Benjamin Floriani about how to abuse the file format SVG as initial compromise vector and phish Microsoft accounts, including the MFA token. Thank you to Benjamin for sharing his knowledge and everyone who joined and the discussions and follow-up questions. The slides can be found on our OWASP Chapter Innsbruck page and also the registration link for our 3rd meetup which will happen on 5th February (see comments)! Next time we will have two talks, "Semgrep: An introduction to custom rule writing" and "A Whirlwind Tour of Software Vulnerabilities". Looking forward for our next iteration and see you there!

Thank you all for being part of the #OWASP Nest (https://nest.owasp.org) API Hackathon! 🎉 Huge congratulations to our #winners - your #creativity, persistence, and smart solutions really stood out. You've set a high bar and inspired all of us with what's possible when passion meets innovation. This hackathon (https://lnkd.in/g-SDcgmu) brought together 18 hackers who submitted 10 projects (with 2 invalid submissions), and from those we selected 3 outstanding winners: - 1st place ($400 USD + complimentary 1-year OWASP membership): Community Snapshot Videos - delivering regular, automated updates on OWASP projects, chapters, releases, and more through video. - 2nd place ($200 USD + complimentary 1-year OWASP membership): OWASP Route - a tool that provides routes from the user's location to the nearest OWASP chapters and upcoming events. - 3rd place ($100 USD + complimentary 1-year OWASP membership): Nest-AI - a solution that simplifies discovering OWASP projects, events, and contribution opportunities by navigating complex APIs and documentation with ease. To everyone who participated: thank you. Your energy, ideas, and willingness to build and learn together made this hackathon a success. Whether you shipped a finished feature, tried something new, or simply pushed yourself a bit further - every contribution helped move the community forward. We're excited for what's next. Keep building, keep learning, and keep making security better for everyone. #OpenSource #Membership #OWASPNest #Hackathon #API
