At the Denver OWASP meeting in October, Mark Hoopes vented about the marketing claims made by application security vendors. By examining the fundamental technical capabilities that several families of tools have to offer, he challenges some of the more outrageous claims made. You never know who might have developed a game changing technology, but by focusing on the typical limitations of the technology, you can ask the right questions to cut through the marketing and get to the useful details needed to make an informed tool buying decision. The slides of the presentation are shared here.
