OWASP Birmingham needs you!
We have a date for the first OWASP Birmingham event, December 15th. We have Dave Rook (aka SecurityNinja) lined up as one of our first speakers. He was awesome when I saw him at BsidesLondon, and I can't think of a better way to start the brum chapter than with …

Beardcon
My first BruCON experience
I've been back from BruCON for a couple of days now so I

Rainbow Tables, Looking at how the sausage is made
It's been a while since I posted, so I thought I'd put up something that has been bothering me for a long time, and isn't about bulbs ;)
