Attack Your Database Before Others Do - Todd DeSantis, Sentrigo



In this presentation, we will show typical security flaws found in PL/SQL and Java code due to programmer mistakes. We will demonstrate how to use existing open-source scanning and fuzzing tools to automatically find and flag such flaws, and also demonstrate how creating your own tools in PL/SQL can help you keep your code secure.

In this presentation, you will learn:
1. Common security mistakes developers make
2. How to use open source tools to find those mistakes
3. How to roll out your own PL/SQL fuzzer
