Identifying Security Vulnerabilities in C/C++Programming

This course builds on the skills and coding techniques learned in Principles of Secure Coding, and Identifying Security Vulnerabilities. This course employs the focusing technique, asking you to consider "what to look out for" as well as "where to look" in order to assess and then remediate fragile C++ code.

Your programs will perform correctly and resist attempts to make them perform incorrectly by using the techniques that you'll be reviewing. Secure programming is exactly what this means. The common mistakes people make will be highlighted and you will then be able to learn how to program more securely. Tips and best practices will be shared to improve programming and avoid common issues like buffer overflows. This could lead to security problems.
