Static-Analysis Tools: Now you're Playing with Power!

Presented at Hackfest 2017, Nov. 4, 2017, 1:30 p.m. (Unknown duration).

You are performing penetration testing on Web applications. Do you systematically perform code reviews when you have source code access? Code review is an exercise that can prove to be an important ally. However, code review can be difficult. Thousands or even millions of lines of code will be targeted. How to prioritize and perform an effective assessment? With tools and automation of course! In this presentation, an overview of the static analysis tools will be made. The presentation of a basic methodology will also be presented. Demonstrations with FindSecBugs (Java/JVM), Brakeman (Ruby) and Bandit (Python) tools are to be expected.
