Secure Programming in C and C++

Frequently exploited software vulnerabilities are often caused by avoidable software defects. In this course, you will examine multiple examples of insecure code and learn steps that can be taken to prevent future problems.

The course concentrates specifically on how these issues arise in the C and C++ languages, as well as their associated libraries. It also includes coverage of material presented in the SEI CERT C and C++ Coding Standard.

The course assumes basic C and C++ knowledge, but does not assume a deep understanding of software security. Hands-on exercises reinforce concepts and provide practice using techniques. The material presented covers a variety of environments including Visual Studio on Windows and GCC/Clang on Linux.
