How to be a Pentester? - behind the scenes
Short Description of presentation
During this lecture, we would like to show you, how the penetration tester work look like. We will explain different test types (dynamic and static tests, source code analysis, white-, gray- and black-box approaches) and demonstrate why security aspects in IT projects are so important. Also, we will show how to implement security testing (and bughunting) elements into the software development cycle with minimal effort, so that they don’t slow down the team’s work.
During the lecture we will show examples of real vulnerabilities and free tools that can detect security bugs, and which are easy to use and easy to implement. The aim of the lecture is to inspire and encourage programmers to improve the quality of the created software.
