Secure Programming Cookbook for C++ Practical Programming with TCL/TKPage 1www.linuxformat.co.uk28LXF48 CHRISTMAS 2003REVIEWS Booksespite what some would haveyou believe Linux distros areoften just as vulnerable asproprietary OSes. The aim ofthis chunky tome is to teach more thanjust how to cope with buffer overruns instead a more allencompassing viewis taken that starts with explaining eachpotential vulnerability in your systemsdiscussing why its a problem and howit can be abused and then giving longand wellcommented code samples toexplain what the code does.If youre thinking how can youwrite 700+ pages about secureprogramming? flick through the tableof contents theres so much here onall areas of security that everyone willlikely find somethingfor them here. To namejust a few of the highlights accesscontrol is in there as is input validationencryption hashing PKI SSL randomnumbers and antitampering each ofwhich are given thorough coveragefrom authors who clearly have a greatdeal of experience writing secure code.Being a cookbook there are largecode samples punctuated with detailedexplanations of solutions given. Thecode is as usual designed to be easilydropped into your own apps. Havingsaid that the authors seem to be quiteprone to using somewhat obscureCryptography and authentication has never been so easy for Paul Hudson or has it?variablenaming perhapsthis is a securitymeasure in itself!The big downside to this book isntreally its fault and thats the fact thatmost people whove been writing C andC++ programs for a few years considerthemselves fully knowledgeable andarent likely to want to admit they needa book on secure programming. Thisbook doesnt make any attempts toorder the points so that real clangersthat most of us walk blindly into aremixed in with minor code tweaks.Furthermore large parts of the writingCL is an interesting language.While intended to be easy touse and pick up it is packed tobursting point with littleeccentricities ranging from the use ...
