Exploiting Modern C++ is thinking engineer's security training. Practical from start to finish, it goes beyond the conventional wisdom of letting technology test the technology and gives C++ engineers the tools they need to design, build and test secure software that can withstand whatever today's hackers can bring. In this training, through practical code samples as well as extensive case studies of vulnerabilities that have been exploited in the real world, engineers will learn:
  • How subtle C++ coding mistakes create exploitable vulnerabilities through poor memory handling, Undefined Behavior, privilege escalation, broken threading models, ineffective data protection and accidental information disclosure.
  • How hackers exploit vulnerabilities and what they look for when penetrating a system.
  • How to tell the difference between a garden variety C++ bug and a security vulnerability that can be exploited.
  • How good design and Modern C++ code choices make the difference between a system that can be compromised and one that can't.
  • How effective code reviews, static & dynamic testing, Threat Modeling and penetration testing are used to expose hard to find vulnerabilities.
  • How low tech, high concept testing approaches often trump expensive frameworks and tooling.
  • How changes to Modern C++, including C++23 & C++26, have given C++ engineers tools to write highly efficient, secure code.
  • How to use AI to deal with your largest pool of hidden vulnerabilities - your legacy code.
  • How to use safety critical software guidelines like MISRA & AUTOSAR and AI to write safer, more secure code.
Drawing on decades of experience, this training gives you Goals for Secure Code - simple, straight forward techniques for building and deploying secure systems. Exploiting Modern C++ demystifies the world of hackers and gives C++ engineers proven, practical advice to build systems that have had to operate securely in the most hostile of environments.
