Code scanning is one of the oldest appsec practices. In many cases, simple grep patterns and some fancy regular expressions are enough to find many of the obvious software mistakes.

We talk about some challenges in testing tools, making smart investments in engineering time, and why working with .NET's compiler made his decisions easier.
