Putting an “I” in Code Review – Turning Code Reviewing Interactive

Presented at AppSec USA 2016, Oct. 14, 2016, 9:30 a.m. (60 minutes)

Everybody knows that manual code review can be a tedious and lengthy effort, with complexity growing exponentially with the size of the code. However, understanding code flow and focusing on relevant parts can become much easier when employing interactive debugging techniques. This allows combining the best of penetration testing and code review benefits to achieve maximum results in the most efficient manner. In this talk we will explain and demonstrate this eye-opening technique for effectively performing a manual code review on a live system using a debugger and provide a quick starter kit for implementing this technique.
