Secure Coding in C and C++, 2nd Edition Posted: 16 Aug 2016 12:58 PM PDT 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.

Reengineering .NET Posted: 16 Aug 2016 12:52 PM PDT Reengineer .NET Code to Improve Quality, Update Architecture, Access New Tools, and Accelerate Delivery of New Features As software ages, it becomes brittle: difficult to understand, fix, manage, use, and improve. Developers working with  many platforms have encountered this problem; now, developers working with Microsoft's .NET are facing it as well.  In Reengineering .NET, leading .NET architect Bradley Irby introduces proven best practices for revitalizing older .NET code and integrating new architectural and development advances into business-critical systems that can't go offline.  Using a step-by-step approach, .NET professionals can make legacy enterprise software more reliable, maintainable,  attractive, and usable—and make it easier to upgrade for years to come. Through real-world case studies and extensive downloadable sample code, Irby shows how to carefully plan a .NET  reengineering project, understand the true current state of your code, introduce unit testing and other agile methods, refactor to services and controllers, and leverage powerful .NET reengineering tools built into Microsoft Visual Studio 2012. This book is an indispensable resource for all developers, architects, and project managers responsible for existing .NET code bases and for a wide audience of non-technical managers and CTOs who want to understand the unique  challenges faced by .NET teams involved in application or system reengineering projects. Coverage includes: Migrating legacy .NET software to more flexible, extensible, and maintainable architectures—without breaking it Reengineering web applications with the MVC pattern, Winforms software with MVP, and WPF/Silverlight  systems with MVVM Asking the right questions to predict refactoring problems before they happen Planning and organizing reengineering projects to apply the right expertise to each task at the right time Using innovative Test Doubling to make unit testing even more effective Applying Dependency Inversion to break tight coupling and promote easier development and testing Leveraging source control, defect tracking, and continuous integration "Cleaning up" legacy solutions to improve them before you even touch business logic Establishing solid development infrastructure to support your reengineering project Refactoring to services—including advanced techniques using Repositories, Domain Models,  and the Command Dispatcher Refactoring to controller/view or ViewModel/View pairs The post Reengineering .NET appeared first on 1Bookcase.
