Moving in…
Saturday, May 10th, 2008Hi, I’m Wade, your new neighbor. I just moved in next door at WadeWoolwine.com.
That’s right, I’m a new blogger on Web Application Security Road. I’ve been toying with starting up a blog for quite some time now, but was really at a loss for picking a topic. See, I’m a Senior Security Engineer on the IT Security Assurance Team at AOL in Dulles, VA, so I wasn’t sure if I wanted to spend my “free time” (you all know how loosely I’m using that term) blogging and researching what I blog and research about at work. For a while I was really getting into using established APIs to build new applications, event got pretty far along with a twitter / google maps powered app that allowed you to semi accurately report traffic, speed traps, and bad drivers. Don’t get me wrong, building apps is a blast, but what I failed to realize is that I love hacking stuff, and why look any further then what you love for you niche on the web.
My intentions for the neighborhood? I’ve been a leech on WebAppSec Road for a few years now. From the first OWASP guide, to the latest finds by Jeremiah Grossman and the brains over at GNUCITIZEN I’ve taken so much that I feel that it’s time to start giving some back.
So here’s what I’m hoping to give:
- My view on existing web technologies and security topics
- Documentation of my business and personal research
- Fully vendor disclosed vulnerabilities I might encounter
- A weekly round up of security articles and links I’ve enjoyed
Here is what I don’t want to become:
- A venting post, there are enough out there
- Stale. I’m blogging to help me stay ahead
- A product pusher. If I like something, I’ll write about it, but I’m not here to sell stuff
So there you have it, hope you’ll hang out…and participate?
