OWASP AppSec – Database Trusts Presentation Video
In September, Antti Rantasaari and I delivered our presentation “Escalating Privileges through Database Trusts” at the OWASP APPSEC 2010 conference in CA. The presentation focuses on how to leverage trust relationships between application, database, and system accounts to gain unauthorized access to systems and sensitive data. For those of you who missed it, OWASP was nice enough to record the presentation and make it available at the following link: Presentation Video. I appreciate the OWASP team taking the time to put together the video, but the slides are a little out of sync. Enjoy!
