Our firm sells an offline desktop (.exe) software, we are thinking of using OTP (from hardware token like in internet banking) to stop people from copying the software without permission. Basically, each legitimate copy will have its own serial number and hardware token. We are thinking that when the application starts up, it will show a login screen where the user is supposed to enter the OTP from the token. The token will generate OTP based on serial number, the current time, and a secure algo

I am looking at some C/C++ code that appears to have functions that are defined, but never used. This is a pretty tedious process to trace through the code and verify. I’ve done some surveys and there are a number of tools that can do this type of analysis.Can anyone share any experiences or tips on which tools and techniques are best or alternative methods of verifying this code is in fact not used?

embedded software bootloader debugging 2014-1-12 16:04:18
I recently figured out the cause of a nasty bug I’ve been working on with an Atmel AT91SAM9G20 SBC running U-boot, an open source bootloader. The core of the problem was that U-boot expected the hardware to be configured differently than I had built it, so some of the device registers were misconfigured.Now that I’ve figured out the problem, I need to tweak U-boot to configure the registers correctly. I can do this blindly by adding a few lines of code at the end of the program, but that’s messy

Programs may, at times, have runtime errors. These are sometimes hard to find and can easily be missed. Is there any way to test the program before actually burning it onto the board ?

Over the years I’ve heard various estimates for the average number of exploitable bugs per thousand lines of code, a common figure being one exploitable bug per thousand lines of code. A Google search gives some much lower figures like 0.020 and 0.048 on one hand but also very high figures like 5 to 50. All these numbers are for code that hasn;t been reviewed nor tested for security.Have any serious empirical studies been done on this subject? Such a study could be done based on well reviewed op

Does the software in the Mars Curiosity Rover have any security features built-in? I can’t imagine how someone would hack into it, but if the rover does indeed have some protection against malicious hackers, what kind of attacks would it be protecting itself against?

I am doing a project on detecting vulnerabilities in Windows 7/8 for software applications. Some of which some have source code available and some do not.Please suggest some technique that can help me detect vulnerabilities either at compile time or run-time. Is there any new way that can be used in finding out the buffer overflow vulnerability?
