Code Securely In Delphi
Description via the presenter, Alister Christie:
"An overview of application security vulnerabilities within the context of Delphi application development, particularly focusing on the Win32 API and network communications. The presentation will begin by demonstrating the inadequacy of GUI-level security in Windows applications, where external tools can easily manipulate controls without elevated privileges.
A significant portion of the discussion will address the risks of storing sensitive data like passwords and connection strings in plain text within the executable, recommending techniques such as prompting users and using memory management tools like FastMM to prevent data from lingering in memory dumps.
Furthermore, the talk covers methods for hardening DataSnap security by increasing RSA key lengths and implementing dynamic PC1 keys for enhanced session encryption. Finally, I will details various forms of injection vulnerabilities, including classic SQL injection and second-order injection, emphasizing the critical need to sanitize all input from both users and external data sources to maintain application integrity."
