"WRITING SECURE CODE reveals the battle-tested secrets of two veritable code warriors-directly from the trenches of large-scale commercial software development. It's all here-from design pointers to specific code snippets, DCOM to .NET, the Win32® API to secure Web programming, and more. Don't even consider going live with a Win32 application on the Internet without reading this book."
JOEL SCAMBRAY, coauthor of HACKING EXPOSED and HACKING EXPOSED WINDOWS 2000
"Secure software has long been considered an oxymoron, since most developers try to sprinkle security on top of their software products rather than baking it in. This clue-full cookbook is filled with from-the-trenches recipes featuring proven security concepts as key ingredients to make software products safer, more secure, and more reliable."
JOHN PESCATORE, Vice President, Gartner, Inc.
