Episode 62: Static vs. Dynamic Analysis Techniques

Some vulnerabilities are embedded in code—others appear only at runtime. In this episode, we unpack the distinction between static and dynamic vulnerability analysis. You’ll learn how static analysis tools examine source code or binaries without executing them, identifying risky functions, insecure libraries, and violations of secure coding practices.

Dynamic analysis, by contrast, observes application behavior during execution—surfacing flaws that may not appear in code but manifest during runtime, such as input handling issues or memory corruption. We’ll also touch on reverse engineering and fuzzing techniques, which help uncover zero-day vulnerabilities. Whether you're analyzing web apps or legacy software, this episode prepares you to identify and evaluate threats from both sides of the execution fence. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com
