Secure Programming

Posted by michael on from the self-promotion dept.

viega writes "Matt Messier and I have just launched a secure programming web site. While this site does support our new book The Secure Programming Cookbook for C and C++ , it also serves as a thorough resource for developers. It has numerous links to articles and other topical resources, new recipes that demonstrate secure programming techniques a large glossary and the obligatory web log. We accept outside submissions, and will reward the best recipe submission each month-- O'Reilly will publish it on the O'Reilly Network web site and will give the author a free book. There's already a decent amount of new content, including recipes on avoiding malloc()/new-related integer overflows, watching out for security problems in API differences and issues when truncating data. There's also an RSS feed for the web log."

    ms software will not be secure until the security is in the users hands and not in microsofts control due to their assinine EULAs...

    what good is a lack of buffer overflows if you have to give 100% access to MS in the first place.

    Finally! A programming website that's SECURE! I am so tired of my favorite programming websites getting hacked all the time.

    oh wait...

    By the way, I can't believe nobody made that joke yet.

    Why do you sound just like me?

    Stupid /. lameness filter wants more characters. Whenever I type the approximate amount of characters as seen above, I get a random, non-informative, message amounting to "Slash ain't posting that", so I have to add crap like this to the end of short posts.
