testing (of all types) is one of the few techniques one can employ to
achieve good security characteristics in software ... but if you have
any other new techniques on the matter, I would love to hear ... I
know the answer isn't 'write perfect code' because I have been trying
that for 25 years with little success. I don't believe in unit tests
as some magic bullet, but at a minimum they do a good job at
explaining assumptions a few months/years from now (e.g. those hard
coded paths).

otherwise, back to the thread ... Dannes needs to be satisfied that
all is well with this stuff and as I understand it he isn't because he
raised a list of concerns which have yet to be addressed.
