These topics are relevant for developers working on Windows, web applications, or security sanitizers.
In this video, Link Removed and Link Removed, both Researchers at Microsoft Research, give a demo of BEK (you can try it too at Link Removed). BEK is a domain specific language for writing common string functions, combined with state of the art analysis. With BEK, you can answer questions like...
