Hack.me is a FREE, community based project powered by eLearnSecurity. The community allows you to build, host and share vulnerable web application code for educational and research purposes. It aims to be the largest collection of “runnable” vulnerable web applications, code samples and CMS’s online. The platform is available without any restriction to any party […]
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.
VMWare ESX Source Code Leaked On The Internet
Another big source code leak, this time VMWare ESX, software which I’m sure most of the readers here have used at some point (I know I have). There was a time back in 2006 when VMWare Rootkits seemed like they might be the next big thing, but nothing much ever came out of it. VMware […]
CrowdRE – Crowdsourced Reverse Engineering Service From CrowdStrike
Reversing complex software quickly is challenging due to the lack of professional tools that support collaborative analysis. The CrowdRE project aims to fill this gap. Rather than using a live distribution of changes to all clients, which has proven to fail in the past, it leverages from the architecture that is being used with success […]
CERT Triage Tools – Vulnerability Impact Assessment Tool
The CERT Triage Tools can be used to assist software vendors and analysts in identifying the impact of defects discovered through techniques such as fuzz testing and prioritizing their remediation in the software development process. The CERT Triage Tools include a GNU Debugger (GDB) extension called “exploitable” that classifies Linux application bugs by severity and […]
Basic Fuzzing Framework (BFF) From CERT – Linux & Mac OSX Fuzzer Tool
The CERT Basic Fuzzing Framework (BFF) is a software testing tool that finds defects in applications that run on the Linux and Mac OS X platforms. BFF performs mutational fuzzing on software that consumes file input. (Mutational fuzzing is the act of taking well-formed input data and corrupting it in various ways, looking for cases […]
