Hi.

Doesn't there exist any complete texts on what to do and not do when
programming in C, from a security perspective?

Preferably with examples.

Don't program C if you don't know how to avoid common pitfalls; C gets a bad rap sometimes. It's the fault of all the _lazy/crap_ programmers out there which frequently create applications that do not even seem to have any sense of where there buffer(s) begin, or _end_!!

Yikes! ;^(...
