  1. OWASP Education Working Session Notes - Ideas Nov 05, 2008

  2. Guidelines • Structure materials existing (mostly technical) • Create non-existent (mostly non-technical)

  3. Goal – Knowledge transfer from OWASP projects towards the community • Ideas • PR project in sync with education • Increase awareness of OWASP among C-level executives • Guide to the Guides (Executive Summary) • Textbooks – focus on the learner not the trainer • How-To’s / OWASP for dummies / digital editions • Participate in development, CSO conferences • Flash demonstrations of the Top 10 / Youtube • Synergy with LiveCD • Training by target audience and by role • Videos for WebGoat exploits in action: • http://yehg.net/lab/pr0js/training/webgoat.php

  4. Role based training • Material (Y-axis) & Role (X-axis) exercise • 3 Roles – Managers + Analysts, Architects + Developers, Security Auditors + QA (testers) • Student Roles • Should be Novice level • Six month or Year long process • Should they be evaluated at the end? • Canned guest lectures

  5. Where to focus? (ideas) • Focus on the do-ers, focus on students secondarily • Educate the educators (force-multiplier) • Vote: Generally agreed to focus on educating the doers with regard to three roles • Boot camp • Some difficulty with the various quality levels between existing materials • Problems with revisioning and sharing (google docs solution maybe) • Should be broad scope of topics (covered lightly) with deeper references to more OWASP materials/resources • Ask projects to provide boot camp materials for their projects and target audience • Pick an OWASP conference and reserve a slot for the OWASP Boot Camp (Washington DC in 2009 as suggested by Rex Booth)

  6. Structure of training materials • Powerpoints with slide notes (there’s an Education Project guideline about this) • There must be slide notes • Can do recordings of presentation and transcribe the notes for completeness • Updated “intro to OWASP” deck • Something small that introduces people to OWASP, resources, projects, etc. • Coordinated way to contact speakers • Linked to OWASP on the Move

  7. Winter of Code possibility • Map content to target audience and roles

  8. Ideas to consider for implementation • Allow people to train themselves • Live CD Integration • Assists Universities/Academia and High School • Corporate (non-tech professionals) • Complement internal training programs
