Fairly extreme example of how to reduce the footprint of a Linux program.

I don't like the bloat that most compilers create nowadays, but this is just a bit too much though. still an interesting read.

CERT C Programming Language Secure Coding Standard

Tags: programming cert

CERT has published an secure coding standard document for the C programming language.

With the majority of exploits these days revolving around some form of buffer overflow, anyone serious about writing quality C applications should at least read through this.

Even if you're not a C codemonkey, you may still find some info in there that is applicable to you and your programming language of choice.
