Reducing the Attack Surface: Sometimes you can give the monkey a less dangerous club.

Published: 01 October 2017 Publication History

Abstract

The best way to reduce the attack surface of a piece of software is to remove any unnecessary code. Since you now have two teams demanding that you leave in the code, it’s probably time to think about making two different versions of your binary. The application sounds like it’s an embedded system, so I’ll guess that it’s written in C and take it from there.
