From the course: Application Security Testing and Debugging
Chapter introduction
Welcome to Module 2, Security-Focused Debugging Techniques. Here's a startling statistic that should change how you think about security testing. 73 percent of critical vulnerabilities are only discoverable during runtime execution, not through static code analysis. These aren't theoretical edge cases. These are authentication bypasses, race conditions, and memory corruption flaws that allow attackers to completely compromise applications. Today, you're going to master the advanced debugging techniques that security professionals use to uncover the vulnerabilities that traditional testing methods miss entirely. So where does this journey begin? It starts with shifting your perspective from fixing bugs to analyzing security at its core. This module goes beyond fixing bugs to advance security analysis. Across three lessons, you'll build specialized debugging skills to identify, analyze, and resolve critical vulnerabilities that automated tools or static analysis often miss. Now let's…
