Secure Coding for Chefs

Contributed by jose on 2003-08-12 from the development-in-a-fortress dept.

The Secure Programming Cookbook for C and C++ is a new O'Reilly book which meets the needs of some developers, namely "How do I safely do ___ in C?" There are several recipes on the book's website you can have a look at and start using. Part 1, Recipe 3.1: Understanding Basic Data Validation Techniques , is a great example recipe for everyone. Part 2 Recipe 3.8: Evaluating URL Encodings , will be especially useful for web authors. And the latest addition to the series, part 3 Recipe 3.9: Validating Email Addresses , is also a worthwhile exercise. I have a copy I'm flipping through, look for a review here soon.

    Shouldn't 1280x1024 with a full-screen browser window be sufficient? Surely HTML isn't the most complex "language" out there for people to understand.

The title is "The Secure Programming Cookbook for C and C++"... The other recent O'Reilly book is called "Secure Coding", which is a high-level overview of software security.
