Better security through shame

The Peon's Guide To Secure System Development

Abstract:

Increasingly incompetent developers are creeping their way into
important projects. Considering that most good programmers are pretty
bad at security, bad programmers with roles in important projects are
guaranteed to doom the world to oblivion. The author feels that a step
towards washing himself clean of responsbility is by writing this
document. Checking your memcpy() and malloc() calls have been lectured
to death. It's not working. The approach used by this document is to
instead shame developers into producing better systems. Enjoy.
