December 8th meeting details

[Tactical Failure]

Hello Hackers!

Todd Gardner is a software entrepreneur and developer who has built
multiple profitable products. He pushes for simple tools, maintainable
software, and balancing complexity with risk. He is the cofounder of
TrackJS and Request Metrics, where he helps thousands of developers
build faster and more reliable websites. He also produces the PubConf
software comedy show.

What will he be sharing with us this month? Well, since you asked:

How much JavaScript is on your website? Do you know what it does? No
really, have you looked at the code and seen what it does? Probably not.

JavaScript controls the client side environment, and we can use it to
compromise users, consume resources, and steal data. Yet many websites
continue to add scripts without review, audit, or thought.

Let’s explore what JavaScript can do to a browser, the vectors that
JavaScript can get added to websites, and how we can defend against
JavaScript attacks.

As usual these days of Covid, we will be meeting online at
https://cafe.cyberia.club/dc612.

Talk starts at 6:12 PM U.S. Central, but feel free to hop in early and chat.
