The subject line was the title of an article I got in my SANS
newsletter today. I'm not clear on whether this was a contest or who
ran it, but "Four individuals were recognized today for their
excellent descriptions of insecure code found in programming texts".
These texts thus contributed to "weak secure coding skills". The
texts mentioned:
- The Complete Reference: C 4th ed. (Osbourne)
- Programming Embedded Systems in C and C++ (O'Reilly)
- C Primer Plus, Third Edition (SAMS)
- C in a Nutshell (O'Reilly)
- Introduction to Java Programming, 7th Edition (Pearson Prentice
Hall)
- Beginning Ruby: from Novice to Professional (Apress)
- Beginning ASP Databases (Wrox)
So guess which language doesn't appear in the above list?
(Yeah, I know there's more than one language that doesn't appear, but
you get my point.)
