From a security perspective, the source code plays a major role -most security vulnerabilities can be tracked back to their source code origin, and be fixed there.\n
Still, in the real world, frequently vulnerabilities in the code remain uncovered as it is difficult to manually perform a full and accurate code analysis - it requires hard to find resources and expertise.\nIn this technical presentation we will go through unique source code examples that contain security flaws, and analyze together the vulnerabilities, what techniques can be used to find them and what are the best ways to fix.\n
