Top 25 Programming Errors
January 18th, 2009
Have just reached a list of top 25 most dangerous programming errors that was released by cyber security experts a week ago. An important one, I think :) And with this list are provided resources and solutions to be used to eliminate these errors if they’re present. Also seems like this list is to be used for code certifications and for software testing tools. But first of all it should be used by us, developers :)
Here is the list: http://www.sans.org/top25errors
I hope, in 2020 all these errors will be studied only at programming history lessons :)
I like this one. Glad it has many common security faults listed and explained at one place.
These all are got from software weaknesses database - very interesting enumeration, but too big one.
Hi, The report is a good example of how the programmers do go wrong in their programming. Programmers think that writing codes itself is their duty but the real art of programming is writing with security in mind. People are from the beginning days of learning programming, are not taught how to develop a secured application this is because they think it is the feature and automatically looked after by the compiler. And also programmers think that Updating their computers and operating systems it self is the security, but the bugs they write in their programs create vulnerabilities which the hackers look for.
