The simple examples demonstrate how a malicious hacker would write code to attack your system, and infiltrate your systems to gather information for criminal activity or use. The author includes suggestions and examples of how to avoid programming these types of vulnerabilities into your software projects. In today's age, more often than not, fixing "bugs" in programs is based on the business model of a Return-On-Investment (ROI). As a result, coding vulnerabilities are often left in place to avoid the expense and time required to track issues, re-code, and test the software. Unfortunately, after reading this text, I realize that the problems didn't start with the business model, but with how programmers are trained. Beginning students of programming are not made aware of the concerns presented in this text, and how to correct for them until much later, IF at all, in their training. As a result, students will form bad-habits in their coding paradigm that this text addresses. This text or similar needs to be a mandate for beginning programmers. I, certainly, wish that my professors and mentors had brought the topics contained in this book to my attention as a beginning student in the field. This text has a permanent place in my library. Respectfully, MJR Review: Good book - I bought it used but it is almost like new. I worked with C for a long time and I appreciate some of the insights the book offers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #726,293 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #52 in C Programming Language #84 in C++ Programming Language #751 in Computer Security & Encryption (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (70) | | Dimensions | 6.9 x 1.4 x 9.1 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 0321822137 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0321822130 | | Item Weight | 2.05 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | SEI Series in Software Engineering | | Print length | 608 pages | | Publication date | April 11, 2013 | | Publisher | Addison-Wesley Professional | ## Images ![Secure Coding in C and C++ (SEI Series in Software Engineering) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Dpo6+9bSL.jpg) ![Secure Coding in C and C++ (SEI Series in Software Engineering) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Aoz7VXyrL.jpg) ![Secure Coding in C and C++ (SEI Series in Software Engineering) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31tVIqGcTaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent text on coding to create "hacker-proof" software... *by M***. on October 8, 2013* This is an excellent text offering an overview of all the various ways that programmers leave holes in their software that malicious hackers (Black Hat Hackers) can use to attack software.

Respectfully, MJR ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book *by A***I on December 8, 2025* I bought it used but it is almost like new. I worked with C for a long time and I appreciate some of the insights the book offers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Orientation on Secure Coding *by A***R on August 30, 2013* This is a good start into thinking more securely as a programmer. I think it's important knowledge if you regularly program in C/C++. Everyone who's used the language knows that "pointers can get you into trouble," but knowing exactly what can be used against your lack of oversight is a much more concrete motivation to pay attention. If you're one of those punk kids who always wants to know why you follow proper practices, read it. These languages give you freedom under the assumption you know what you're doing, and this book definitely helps. That said, I think while its initial impact is significant, it's value drops significantly after the first read, as its lessons are more philosophical than a reference. Unless you're loaning it out to punk kids you work with who need to stop recklessly managing memory. If you or someone you know thinks C is anything but a cold harsh mistress with no more attachment to you than your goldfish, this book is probably for you. An intermediate knowledge of a C language is necessary, although I'd say memory of irresponsible design decisions helps reinforce the material better. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/10137133-secure-coding-in-c-and-c-sei-series-in-software](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/10137133-secure-coding-in-c-and-c-sei-series-in-software) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
