Code Analysis & Secure Development Reviews

Break the Black Box Myth: Code Analysis Done Right

In modern security programs, code analysis is often outsourced to tools: static scanners, automated platforms, and proprietary engines. The industry calls this "shift left", but too often, it becomes "shift responsibility."

‍At NotLan, we break the myth: Vulnerabilities don’t care what your scanner missed. Attackers don’t either.

The Problem With Tool-Driven Reviews

✅ Companies over-rely on proprietary scanners to reduce costs and scale faster.

✅ Most reviews consist of validating tool output, nothing more.

✅ Creative attack paths, logic flaws, multi-step chains, and design weaknesses       go entirely unchecked.

✅ Testing becomes an exercise in proving that the scanner works, not in        finding real vulnerabilities.

✅ The false sense of security sets in:

"If the tool didn’t flag it, it doesn’t exist."

How NotLan Does Code Analysis

We go beyond tool outputs:

     • Manual deep-dive code reviews led by experienced offensive security engineers

     • Identification of logic flaws, privilege escalations, and business rule abuses

     • Attack surface expansion analysis: how internal code flows can lead to external        exploitation

     • Chained vulnerability simulation: combining multiple minor flaws into high-impact        attack   paths

     • Secure design review: validating whether security controls are implemented        correctly,   not just present

Of course, tools have their place — but they are starting points, not substitutes for expert analysis.

Standards & Methodologies We Follow

Our code reviews align with established secure development and application security standards:

     • OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS)

     • OWASP Secure Coding Practices

     • OWASP Top 10 (Web, API, Cloud, LLMs)

     • CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Errors

     • NIST Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF)

     • PTES alignment for organizations requiring full-scope offensive validation

     • Custom threat modeling for business-critical, proprietary, and financial-grade        systems

We tailor every review based on your stack, language, business model, and threat profile.

Code Analysis for Real-World Attackers — Not for Compliance

✅ We analyze how your code can be abused, not just how it violates policies.

✅ We identify attack chains that scanners miss entirely.

✅ We assess business logic flaws where the highest risks hide.

✅ We collaborate directly with your engineers, ensuring not just findings, but        understanding.

some of the Supported Languages & Stacks

• Web & Backend: Python, Java, Golang, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, .NET, Rust, C/C++

• Blockchain & Smart Contracts: Solidity, Vyper, Rust, Golang

• AI & LLM Systems: Python (RAG pipelines, orchestration, model serving APIs)

• API & Microservices: REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSockets

Tools find patterns.
Attackers exploit logic.
We test like the attacker, not like the scanner.

Secure your code before attackers reverse-engineer your logic.
