Topic: Gray, the new Black: Gray-Box Web Vulnerability Testing

Penetration testers who use only black-box tools are destined to lose to attackers who are willing to spend more time or effort looking for vulnerabilities. Defenders need to make use of one of the few natural advantages at their disposal: ready access to the system they’re trying to protect.

In this talk Brian will discuss gray-box vulnerability testing techniques that expose web application internals so that testers understand what an application is doing and can spot vulnerabilities faster. The tool observes the program while it executes. It reveals attack surface, points out vulnerable program behavior, opens up a code-level view of the application, and allows a tester to understand information flow inside the program.

Speaker: Brian Chess

Brian is currently the Founder/Chief Scientist at Fortify Software, an HP Company. Prior to his work with Fortify, Brian worked at NetSuite, where he started out as a programmer (when the whole company still fit into one apartment) then managed a small team, then a bigger one, then all of the developers, and eventually became the Director of Software Development. Brian has a PhD in Computer Engineering from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and is the co-author of Secure Coding with Static Analysis.
