Description: http://recxltd.blogspot.com/2012/04/finding-weak-link-in-windows-binaries.html
With the advent of generic memory corruption mitigations in Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Visual Studio means it can be a chore when looking where to spend your effort yet ensuring successful exploitation of any discovered bugs. This talk will discuss how to identify binaries that provide the highest possible likely return on investment. Alternatively for those not interested in exploitation but in risk this talk will show how to identify issues with Windows binaries that are of interest to independent software vendors or end user organizations who want to gain a base level of assurance that SDLC best practices have been followed yet source and debug symbols are not available.
