> These vulnerabilities and exploits provide good examples of the way that security researchers look at code and systems—a way of looking that more developers would do well to emulate.

I have to say that I am rather naive in this respect, and don't have much idea about how to search for vulnerabilities in code (other than grepping for known dodgy functions I suppose and looking for known ways of misusing them). What about an article on that subject? Or does anyone knowledgeable feel like doing a guest article on the subject?

Look at David A. Wheeler's Secure Programming HOWTO for starters.
