Abstract :
Security bugs\´ hidden nature is why we need specific, focused application-security testing techniques, testing that defies the traditional model of verifying an application\´s specification and instead identifies the unspecified and insecure side-effects of "correct" application functionality. I examine application penetration testing - software testing that\´s specifically designed to hunt down security vulnerabilities
