The Art of Unix ProgrammingThe Art of Unix ProgrammingPosted Feb 13, 2003 22:22 UTC (Thu) by jschrod (subscriber, #1646)In reply to: The Art of Unix Programming by anr Parent article: The Art of Unix Programming You've read the answer: Security belongs in the realm of sysadmins, is not important enough for a book about programming. This opinion alone disqualifies the book, IMNSHO. Only when programmers grasp that it is inherently their task to produce secure software, we will come out of this mess we're in currently. Just have a look at the latest SQL-slammer worm problem - that was not a sysadmin problem, it is a programming problem. (In relation, few systems were taken over and the worm was not dangerous, but the consequences were already large.) And this issue comes up again and again and again.
