Topic: Gamify Security Training with Developer CTFs
When: Tues September 13th, 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM          
Speaker: Kyle Rankin

Location:  O'Reilly Media, Sebastopol CA in the Tarsier conference room
past the metal statue and to the right ( http://nblug.org/locations )

Description:
Capture the Flag tournaments have long been used to test hacker skills but
they can also serve as effective security training for developers. This
talk will feature a case study where I turned teams of developers with no
prior security training against each other in a CTF arena featuring their
own applications and watched them rack up points as they popped shells in
each other's applications.
