What are some alternatives to dynamic analysis tools?

There are several alternatives to dynamic analysis tools, including static analysis tools, manual code reviews, and fuzz testing. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Can you explain how static analysis tools work?

Static analysis tools examine the code without executing it, identifying potential vulnerabilities and coding errors by analyzing the source code.

What are the benefits of using manual code reviews?

Manual code reviews allow for human insight and context, which can catch issues that automated tools might miss, fostering better team collaboration.

Are there any specific tools you recommend for fuzz testing?

Yes, some popular fuzz testing tools include AFL (American Fuzzy Lop), LibFuzzer, and Peach Fuzzer. They help identify vulnerabilities by inputting random data into programs.

How do I choose the right tool for my needs?

Consider factors like the type of application, the specific vulnerabilities you're targeting, team expertise, and integration with your existing workflow.
