DllHijackAuditor is the smart tool to Audit against the Dll Hijacking Vulnerability in any Windows application. This is recently discovered critical security issue affecting almost all Windows systems on the planet. It appears that large amount of Windows applications are currently susceptible to this vulnerability which can allow any attacker to completely take over the […]
Secure Coding
Secure coding is very important in software development to ensure code security is high using techniques such as static analysis, code auditing and dynamic analysis to ensure safe coding practices are followed.
What Tools can be used for Secure Coding?
There are a variety of tools to ensure code safety, mostly based on source code auditing and static analysis.
The options available really depend on the language being used with some tools focusing on many languages such as Yasca โ Multi-Language Static Analysis Toolset or specialist tools focusing on a single language like Brakeman โ Static Analysis Rails Security Scanner.
WinAppDbg – Python Instrumentation Scripting/Debugging Tool For Windows
The WinAppDbg python module allows developers to quickly code instrumentation scripts in Python under a Windows environment. It uses ctypes to wrap many Win32 API calls related to debugging, and provides an object-oriented abstraction layer to manipulate threads, libraries and processes, attach your script as a debugger, trace execution, hook API calls, handle events in […]
BitBlaze – Binary Analysis Platform For Computer Security
Binary analysis is imperative for protecting COTS (common off-the-shelf) programs and analyzing and defending against the myriad of malicious code, where source code is unavailable, and the binary may even be obfuscated. Also, binary analysis provides the ground truth about program behavior since computers execute binaries (executables), not source code. However, binary analysis is challenging […]
Peach Fuzzing Platform – Smarfuzzer For Generation & Mutation Based Fuzzing
Peach is a SmartFuzzer that is capable of performing both generation and mutation based fuzzing. There are typically two methods for producing fuzz data that is sent to a target, Generation or Mutation. Generational fuzzers are capable of building the data being sent based on a data model provided by the fuzzer creator. Sometimes this […]
FuzzDiff – Tool For Fuzzing and Crash Analysis
[ad] FuzzDiff is a simple tool to help make crash analysis during file format fuzzing a bit easier. I’m sure many people have written similar tools for their own purposes, but I haven’t seen any that are publicly available. Hopefully at least one person finds it useful. When provided with a fuzzed file, a corresponding […]
