Bishop Fox Senior Security Associate Joe DeMesy and Lead Researcher Dan Petro will be presenting at PyCon.

The PyCon conference is the largest annual gathering for the community using and developing the open-source Python programming language.

See more about their talk below.

How Real-world Python Applications Get Compromised

From templating engines to filesystem interactions, contemporary Python development encompasses an array of moving parts interacting with one another to compose an application. These complex interactions can lead to subtle flaws that result in catastrophic security failures. We’ll demonstrate the techniques we use to break into Python web applications and APIs based on real-world examples as well as how to fix these types of issues in your own applications.

If you’re a developer but haven’t seen security from the attacker’s perspective before, then this talk will show you the ropes.
