All your codebase are belong to us

Presented at CactusCon 11 (2023), Jan. 28, 2023, 4 p.m. (240 minutes).

Bring your code snippets, your authorization file, or any piece of code you'd like to tear into, and we'll show you a practical method for finding bugs in your code. It's a hybrid of training in the Absolute AppSec methodology of secure-code review and live hackathon! Speakers Seth Law, Ken Johnson, and Justin Larson will briefly discuss how they schedule out time for code reviews in their actual day-to-day consulting and redeem managing work, and then dive into source code with students to provide real-life experience.
