Introduction
In software engineering, a design pattern is a reusable solution to a common occurring problem that can be generalized to be used a numerous contexts of software design.
Anti-patterns are commonly used patterns used in software engineering but are ineffective, counterproductive, and may result in software vulnerabilities.
The Code Review Guide will focus on anti-design patterns that help create in-secure code/applications.
Exceptions:
Error information for a hacker is like a bone to a dog; “Something good to chew on“. Without controlling what error information is shown to a user the application may release information such as platform target code is running on, database being used, computer language, etc. The significance of each piece of information allows the hacker to quickly narrow what tools he uses and what vulnerabilities he might try to exploit.
