MOPS CFP: Deadline Extension - April 18, 2010
April 9th, 2010 | by Stefan Esser |
The Month of PHP Security committee has decided to extend the CFP deadline from April 11, 2010 to April 18, 2010. The reason for that is very simple: so far we only got a few submissions from the PHP community and the security community. Even fewer submissions than we have prizes. Therefore it is only fair to wait a bit more for your submissions.
There seems to be a confusion about the accepted topics.
- We do not only accept but welcome articles about PHP security topics. The whole point of involving the community in MOPS was to gather articles about secure PHP programming or PHP security research.
- We will accept vulnerabilities in PHP applications as long the application is installed on more than 100 systems and the vulnerability gives you access to the data or to the system. However you have to write a text describing the vulnerability and what you can do with it.
- You DO NOT loose any rights by submitting something to us. You will be credited and in case of bugs you are also allowed to write your own advisory to bugtraq (or whereever else). In case of articles you can reuse them for everything you want. Only condition: no other publication before the article/bug appears during MOPS.
To revisit the full list of accepted topics: look here.
If there are no more community submissions this does not mean that the MOPS is cancelled. We at SektionEins GmbH will ensure that there is enough content to fill each day. In any case the Month of PHP Security will start on May 1, 2010.
TIP: If you send in an article please ensure that chapters titled “conclusion” actually contain a conclusion and not “WE ARE THE MOST AWESOME GUYS IN WEB APP SEC - HERE IS A LINK LIST OF OUR OTHER PROJECTS”
