[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP: Embracing Rust for Java and TypeScript Developers

Tuesday February 18, 2025 11:00am - 11:50am PST

Ramnivas Laddad, Exograph, Co-founder

Rust has been the most loved programming language for the past eight years, as highlighted by StackOverflow's developer survey. Its acclaim is backed by adoption from tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Meta. Rust's blend of expressiveness, performance, safety, and fearless concurrency makes it ideal for multi-core CPUs. Additionally, Rust's ability to compile into WebAssembly enables seamless execution in browsers and edge computing environments.

Mastering Rust can be challenging, especially for developers with a background in non-system languages. Adopting Rust with the right mindset and suitable projects is crucial for a smooth transition and successful implementation.

In this talk, we will explore Rust's core principles and provide practical guidance for developers experienced in Java, TypeScript, and like languages. We will highlight projects where Rust excels, offering high value with minimal risk.

[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP: Bolster Your Bug Bounty – Code Search & Variant Analysis Techniques

Tuesday February 18, 2025 12:00pm - 12:50pm PST

VIRTUAL DeveloperWeek PRO STAGE

Milan Williams, Semgrep, Senior Product Manager
Austin Theriault, Semgrep, Software Engineer

With so many repositories, organizations can struggle to locate and remediate recurring insecure code patterns. In this talk, you will understand the fundamentals of bug bounty programs, their importance, and common inefficiencies. Attendees will learn how to perform variant analysis, refine searches to reduce false positives and find vulnerabilities quickly. By leveraging these techniques, security teams can identify and reuse previous findings, extending the impact of their bug bounty program and significantly reducing costs. This technical session also provides a detailed architectural overview of building an in-house code search engine, drawing from our own experience. We'll share our wins & woes through multiple iterations, lessons learned, and preferred technologies. Our session concludes with a practical end-to-end walkthrough of a sanitized bug bounty report. Join us to gain knowledge to implement these strategies and technologies in your own engineering practice.
