https://pentestmag.com/write-secure-code-cc-programming-languages/ Secure coding in C/C++ programming languages is a big deal. The two languages, which are commonly used in a multitude of applications and operating systems, are popular, flexible, and versatile – and often vulnerable to exploitation. Sometimes the solution is to code using a safer language like Java. However, this is not always the →
