From Theory To Practice

Navigating The Challenges Of Vulnerability Research

Real applications add constraints that do not always appear in a training exercise. This talk covers working around input filters and web application firewalls, learning from other researchers, and handling failed attempts.

It also discusses the difficulties researchers face when reporting and investigating vulnerabilities, including the legal concerns raised by security research in Portugal.
