Wed, Oct 23, 2024, 5:30 PM PDTOWASP LA Monthly In-Person Meeting - OCT 23, 2024
HiveWatch HQ, El Segundo, CA
TOPIC: Program Analysis: From Difficult to Impossible
Join us for great networking, dinner and drinks, and see a presentation by Brandon Wu, Program Analysis Engineer at Semgrep

ABSTRACT: This talk is a cursory introduction into the field of static application security testing (SAST), which concerns the verification of source code for security purposes. In particular, this talk concerns the field of static analysis (a sub-field of program analysis), the art of analyzing, diagnosing, and remediating source code with computers. We will discuss the techniques and mathematical limitations of the field, which seek to answer the question: "How can we solve a problem which is fundamentally impossible?". An understanding of compilers will be helpful, but not necessary.
