Learn the Root Causes of Software Vulnerabilities and How to Avoid Them
Commonly exploited software vulnerabilities are usually caused by avoidable software defects. Having analyzed tens of thousands of vulnerability reports since 1988, CERT has determined that a relatively small number of root causes account for most of the vulnerabilities.
Secure Coding in C and C++, Second Edition, identifies and explains these root causes and shows the steps that can be taken to prevent exploitation. Moreover, this book encourages programmers to adopt security best practices and to develop a security mindset that can help protect software from tomorrow’s attacks, not just today’s. Drawing on the CERT’s reports and conclusions, Robert C. Seacord systematically identifies the program errors most likely to lead to security breaches, shows how they can be exploited, reviews the potential consequences, and presents secure alternatives.
Coverage includes technical detail on how to
- Improve the overall security of any C or C++ application
- Thwart buffer overflows, stack-smashing, and return-oriented programming attacks that exploit insecure string manipulation logic
- Avoid vulnerabilities and security flaws resulting from the incorrect use of dynamic memory management functions
- Eliminate integer-related problems resulting from signed integer overflows, unsigned integer wrapping, and truncation errors
- Perform secure I/O, avoiding file system vulnerabilities
- Correctly use formatted output functions without introducing format-string vulnerabilities
- Avoid race conditions and other exploitable vulnerabilities while developing concurrent code
The second edition features
- Updates for C11 and C++11
- Significant revisions to chapters on strings, dynamic memory management, and integer security
- A new chapter on concurrency
- Access to the online secure coding course offered through Carnegie Mellon’s Open Learning Initiative (OLI)
Secure Coding in C and C++, Second Edition, presents hundreds of examples of secure code, insecure code, and exploits, implemented for Windows and Linux. If you’re responsible for creating secure C or C++ software–or for keeping it safe–no other book offers you this much detailed, expert assistance.

Free Secure Coding in C and C++
This book is not only solid in the technical coverage it gives, it also gives a great overview of security concerns, history of how we got where we are, the types of threats and flaws that exist, who needs to be concerned, and what your role's responsibilities are in the security picture.
It is amazing to see the data summarized in one place and how disturbing the data is. The amount of money lost to security issues is amazing. After reading the first chapter you can't help but to want to read the rest of the book.
This second version of this book is not a small update. The first edition was 341 pages and the second edition is 569 pages. That is 228 more pages of new information added to existing chapters and a whole new chapter 7 on concurrency. I have listed the chapters below.
Chapter 1. Running with Scissors
Chapter 2. Strings
Chapter 3. Pointer Subterfuge
Chapter 4. Dynamic Memory Management
Chapter 5. Integer Security
Chapter 6. Formatted Output
Chapter 7. Concurrency
Chapter 8. File I/O
Chapter 9. Recommended Practices
There is a lot of new material added on integer security, strings, , and dynamic memory management. Every chapter goes into great detail.
The book is packed full of a ton of code samples, summary tables, and diagrams that really help to clarify the topic at hand.
The book ends with an awesome chapter of recommended practices. The author covers the Security Development Lifecycle, Security Training, Requirements, Design, Implementation, and Verification (analysis, code audits, and testing). The chapter includes recommendations on secure coding standards, threat modeling, security quality requirements engineering, and much more.
