  2. Application security - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_security

    Before code is written the application's architecture and design can be reviewed for security problems. A common technique in this phase is the creation of a threat model. Whitebox security review, or code review. This is a security engineer deeply understanding the application through manually reviewing the source code and noticing security flaws.

  3. OWASP - Wikipedia

    OWASP Code Review Guide: The code review guide is currently at release version 2.0, released in July 2017. OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS): A standard for performing application-level security verifications. [23] OWASP XML Security Gateway (XSG) Evaluation Criteria Project. [24] OWASP Top 10 Incident Response Guidance.

  4. Secure coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_coding

    Secure coding is the practice of developing computer software in such a way that guards against the accidental introduction of security vulnerabilities.Defects, bugs and logic flaws are consistently the primary cause of commonly exploited software vulnerabilities. [1]

  5. Static application security testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_application...

    Unlike dynamic application security testing (DAST) tools for black-box testing of application functionality, SAST tools focus on the code content of the application, white-box testing. A SAST tool scans the source code of applications and its components to identify potential security vulnerabilities in their software and architecture.

  6. Dynamic application security testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Application...

    Unlike static application security testing tools, DAST tools do not have access to the source code and therefore detect vulnerabilities by actually performing attacks. DAST tools allow sophisticated scans, detecting vulnerabilities with minimal user interactions once configured with host name, crawling parameters and authentication credentials.

  7. Runtime application self-protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runtime_Application_Self...

    RASP-protected applications rely less on external devices like firewalls to provide runtime security protection. When a threat is detected RASP can prevent exploitation and possibly take other actions, including terminating a user's session, shutting the application down, alerting security personnel and sending a warning to the user.

  8. Open-source software security - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software_security

    Simply making source code available does not guarantee review. An example of this occurring is when Marcus Ranum, an expert on security system design and implementation, released his first public firewall toolkit. At one time, there were over 2,000 sites using his toolkit, but only 10 people gave him any feedback or patches.

  9. Code injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_injection

    Code injection is a class of computer security exploits in which vulnerable computer programs or system processes fail to correctly handle external data, such as user input, leading to the program misinterpreting the data as a command that should be executed. An attacker using this method "injects" code into the program while it is running.
