Product Description
Review
"This is an extremely useful little book in best O'Reilly tradition and I recommend it not only to programmers but also to security architects who work with programmers. It gives you a lot of insights that you don't often come across." Information Security Bulletin, September
Product Description
Practically every day, we read about a new type of attack on computer systems and networks. Viruses, worms, denials of service, and password sniffers are attacking all types of systems - from banks to major e-commerce sites to seemingly impregnable government and military computers - at an alarming rate. Despite their myriad manifestations and different targets, nearly all attacks have one fundamental cause: the code used to run far too many systems today is not secure. Flaws in its design, implementation, testing, and operations allow attackers all-too-easy access. This volume looks at the problem of bad code in a new way. It contains advice based on the authors' decades of experience in the computer security field and explains why so much code today is filled with vulnerabilities, and tells readers what they must do to avoid writing code that can be exploited by attackers. Writing secure code isn't easy, and there are no quick fixes to bad code. To build code that repels attack, readers need to be vigilant through each stage of the entire code lifecycle: Architecture: during this stage, applying security principles such as "least privilege" will help limit even the impact of successful attempts to subvert software. Design: during this stage, designers must determine how programs will behave when confronted with fatally flawed input data. The book also offers advice about performing security retrofitting when you don't have the source code - ways of protecting software from being exploited even if bugs can't be fixed. Beyond the technical, "Secure Coding" aims to shed new light on the economic, psychological, and sheer practical reasons why security vulnerabilities are so ubiquitous today. It presents a new way of thinking about these vulnerabilities and ways that developers can compensate for the factors that have produced such unsecured software in the past. It issues a challenge to all those concerned about computer security to finally make a commitment to building code the right way.
