Static Application Security Testing (SAST), or static analysis, is a testing method that analyses your source code to find, track and fix security issues that make your application vulnerable before they become a real problem. It is a low cost way to dramatically increase the quality and security of your application, without needing to compile or run it.
=> ↺ Flaws and features in the Flent network testing tool - http://blog.cerowrt.org/
I spent last weekend ranting about the flaws in multiple new web speedtests from cloudflare, speedtest, netflix and others. It’s not fair, scientifically, to not whinge about the flaws (and “features”) in my own network tests. Still, Flent has been the test tool of choice for the core researchers in the bufferbloat effort for 12 years, it’s widely available, and I wish more BOFHs, vendors, CTOs, SREs and sysadmins used it, intelligently, to analyze their devices and networks, and shared new tests of their own to help spot incorrect network behaviors. I’m going to describe multiple features and multiple flaws in using flent for this in this post in detail, but first, a plug!
