C and C++ Secure Coding (x86)
Introducción:
To put it bluntly, writing C/C++ code can be a minefield for reasons ranging from memory management or dealing with legacy code to sharp deadlines and code maintainability. Yet, beyond all that, what if we told you that attackers were trying to break into your code right now? How likely would they be to succeed?
This course will change the way you look at your C/C++ code. We´ll teach you the common weaknesses and their consequences that can allow hackers to attak your system, and - more importantly - best practices you can apply to protect yourself. We give you a holistic view on C/C++ programming mistakes and their countermeasures from the machine code level to virtual fuctions and OS memory management. We present the entire course through live practical exercises to keep it engaging and fun.
Writing secure code will give you a distinct edge over you competitors. It is your choise to be ahead of the pack - take a step and be a game-changer in the fight against cybercrime.
