This document is not a “How to perform a Secure Code review” walkthrough but more a guide on how to perform a successful review. Knowing the mechanics of code inspection is a half the battle but I’m afraid people is the other half.

To Perform a proper code review, to give value to the client from a risk perspective and not from an academic or text book perspective we must understand what we are reviewing.

__NOTOC__
  
Applications may have faults but the client wants to know the “real risk” and not necessarily what the security textbooks say.
 
  
Albeit there are real vulnerabilities in real applications out there and they pose real risk but how do we define real risk as opposed to best practice?

==[[Code Review Guide Foreword|Foreword by OWASP Chair]]==
  
This document describes how to get the most out of a secure code review. What is important when managing an engagement with a client and how to keep your eye on the ball the see the “wood from the trees”.

'''Introduction''':

==Guide History==
The only possible way of developing secure software and keeping it secure going into the future is to make security part of the design. When cars are designed safety is considered and now a big selling point for people buying a new car, “How safe is it?” would be a question a potential buyer may ask, also look at the advertising referring to the “Star” rating for safety a brand/model of car has.
+
* [[Code Review Guide History]]
Unfortunately the software industry is not as evolved and hence people still buy software without paying any regard to the security aspect of the application.
 
  
This is what OWASP are trying to do, to bring security in web application development into the mainstream, to make is a selling point. 30% to 35% of Microsoft’s budget for “Longhorn”

Every day more and more vulnerabilities are discovered in popular applications, which we all know and use and even use for private transactions over the web.

I’m writing this document not from a purest point of view. Not everything you may agree with but from experience it is rare that we can have the luxury of being a purest in the real world.

Many forces in the business world do not see value in spending a proportion of the budget in security and factoring some security into the project timeline.
