Ideas for Talks

• Web Application Security
  What unique vulnerabilities are exposed when developing for the web? Why are the majority of web applications, even those from major corporations, blatantly insecure? This talk will cover a few of the security problems specific to HTTP, but not specific to any particular client or server side technology, and then explain how you can prevent against such attacks.
  Audience: knowledge of HTML forms/HTTP necessary, some Perl/PHP/ASP/JSP or Javascript recommended

• Running Your Own Web Site
  The guts behind logicallemon.com. Show how to get a domain (PairNIC), set up DNS (ZoneEdit or DynDNS, and what cool stuff you can do), set up mail (Postfix and virtual maps), start the web site (Apache virtualhosts). Give props to Kevin. Possibly do this on the fly with a demo.crew.ccs.neu.edu domain and machine? Mention what happens when mail can't be sent to your machine.
