FROC2010 Abstract Nickerson

The Presentation: "YOU are the WEAKEST link"
Had enough SQLi,CSRF,XSS, and other code talk today? There is an EASIER and FASTER way. Throw away the fuzzers, drop the massive toolset and hours of beating your head against the wall. Ignore the scanners and let your whitehat/greyhat methodology have a rest. In this talk, we will talk about the path of least resistance, the people. Do you REALLY think that attackers are gonna send a TON of traffic at your app and fuzz it al day long? NOPE! They are gonna go after the source. Not the source code, the DEVELOPERS. We will go through how to profile developers, track them, and find out what REALLY goes on behind the curtain.
