Description:
This is the first existing book focusing on string analysis
Discusses how string analysis techniques work and how they can be applied to vulnerability detection in modern software applications
This book can be used as a textbook for a course on string analysis, or as a supplementary book for a course on vulnerability detection
Review Quotes: "The book can be said to be tailored as a handy manual for researchers looking for algebraic approaches based on the manipulation of regular expressions (in a large sense) and on solving string constraints, over inputs provided by users in web applications, for handling security issues in these applications."
