Secure Coding in C and C++

This book focuses on the security aspects of C and C++ programming, drawing on reports and conclusions from the CERT/Coordination Center (CERT/CC).

It identifies and explains the root causes of software vulnerabilities, such as buffer overflows, integer type range errors, and invalid format strings, and provides steps to prevent their exploitation.

The book covers various security issues intrinsic to C and C++ programming, including string manipulation, dynamic memory management, integer security, and secure I/O.

It offers practical guidance on secure coding practices and presents hundreds of examples of secure and insecure code, along with sample exploits, primarily for Windows and Linux operating systems.
