Hello there! My name is Craig Younkins. I'm an intern at OWASP, the Open Web Application Security Project, and this summer I'm focusing on web security in Python. My mission is to help developers make more secure applications.
First, I'd like to invite you to a new community - http://www.pythonsecurity.org/ . I started this community a couple weeks ago as a hub for security in Python. We're writing articles on security topics and how they pertain to Python, analyzing the security of software, and providing a forum where developers can get answers to their security questions. If you're interested, you can help this blossoming community by contributing to our wiki or joining our google group. Second, I'd like to help the developers take a look at the security of Pylons. I've created a template page for Pylons on our wiki with a number of questions developers can answer that will help clarify the security of the framework. http://www.pythonsecurity.org/wiki/pylons/ Of course, that page links to the broader security topics including XSS, CSRF, Cryptography, and more. web2py, another web framework, answered these questions and now I am actively working with them to help improve their framework security. I would be happy to do the same for Pylons. If any developers are concerned about security or have a security- related question, we'd love to help. Join our Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/python-security/topics Thanks! -- Craig Younkins -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
