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).
