DESCRIPTION: Backdoors and Other Developer 'Introduced Features'
Veracode Founder and CTO Chris Wysopal will discuss recently
completed research on the subject of backdoors --
vulnerabilities embedded within application code by
developers that enable them to bypass authentication or
other security controls. Chris will examine the
classification of those backdoors that have been detected
in applications and provide real world examples of
application backdoors, a generalization of the mechanisms
they use, and strategies for detecting these mechanisms
(including static analysis of source and binary code).
