Just A N00B Thinking

Introduction Source Code review is a process which discovers hidden vulnerabilities, design flaws, and verifies if key security controls are implemented. Code review helps developers learn the code base, as well as help them learn new technologies and techniques that grow their skill sets. In source code review we are using a combination of scanning tools and manual review to detect insecure coding practices, backdoor, injection flaws, cross site scripting errors, insecure handling of resources, weak cryptography etc. Many claims that this process is time consuming and too costly, but there is no doubt that this process is the fastest and most accurate way to find and diagnose many problems, mostly your code is the base from hackers are taking advantage. There are dozens of security problems that simply can’t be found any other way. A source code review is also the best way to detect intentional or accidental backdoors and logic bombs in applications that you acquire from thi...
