It’s been a busy week for local security bloggers—particularly for Richard Bejtlich of @TaoSecurity. With a whopping 8 or so posts this week, the Tao Security blog is where you should visit if you’re looking for great stuff to read.
You can also check out our NovaInfosec Twits list for even more great security blogs and people to follow on Twitter. Be sure to follow us on Twitter @grecs if you want to know more about what’s going on in the local security community.
Now, on to those posts!
#3 – Sanitize Those Inputs (Again): The third installment of their “Sanitizing Input in Web Apps” series, @geminisecurity shows why sanitizing web apps is not only a good idea, but necessary for good security. We’re especially keen on the idea of sanitizing input because it comes back to the idea of security basics we’re always talking about. You wouldn’t build a house with a faulty foundation, and security should be no different. Be sure to read the post to find out how to keep those inputs clean.
#2 – Interview With Marcus: It’s no secret that DojoSec and Marcus J. Carey are favorites of the local security community. And with DojoSec’s one year anniversary coming up in October, we were happy to find that Marcus did an awesome interview with Con-Techie about DojoCon, his relationship with Johnny from Hackers for Charity (please check them out!) and more. While Marcus linked to the interview in a post on his blog, you can find the full interview here.
#1 – The Tao of Open Source Vulnerability Disclosure: After publishing so many top-notch posts this week, it was hard to pick which of Richard Bejtlich’s posts should be featured this week. In the end, we had to go with his post “Open Source Vulnerability Disclosure with FreeBSD” because it is such an important and timely topic. It’s a great technical post filled with lots of helpful information. Be sure to check it out and pass it along if you find it to be helpful.
And last, but certainly not least, we wanted to mention Wade Woolwine’s (@wadew) “News and Commentary” post for this week. While we wanted to pick it for one of our top slots, he was nice enough to mention us (twice!), so we didn’t want anyone saying we were playing favorites. 
Be sure to check it out.
And if you haven’t already, you can check out the excellent guest post that Wade wrote for us just last week. (You can also contact us if you’d like to write a guest post like Wade did.)
Well, that’s all for this week. Happy reading!
