While its not really necessary to be a programmer its might be addressed to these, its all conceptual , and most of the time the professor assumes you know how to do things, they dont provide code or example codes..... while he mentioned some functions you might need to avoid or you can use instead , it gives you the feeling there might be more to it.

there isn't a cheat sheet provided and I would love to see some sort of summary where you could always refer to the juice stuff to review instead of reading the whole video transcript.

Although this course is not strictly for C/C++ developers, it covers a lot of vulnerabilities that could arise with bad programming.

In my opinion this course is much more general than "C/C++ Programming".

Practical demos could have added more fun to this course.

I liked the course and the instructor is really nice. It could use more code. This course has very minimal code.

Good course with well presented information and good info on topics related to multi-threaded processing vulnerabilities, environment variables, file systems, cryptography, public/private key sharing, input injection, buffer overflows, validation, and permissions (all dealt with via a Linux backdrop). That said, the coding examples were usually small and not particularly practical. This course would be greatly improved with better examples and deep dives into various scenarios for each topic. Additionally implementation of jupyter notebooks for c/c++ build environments would be excellent for showcasing how to run/write secure code and also take advantage of insecure code.

Even if you know what a format string attack is, or what malloc() writes to the heap,

this course will teach you a better way of thinking about the problematic areas of the execution of a program.

The Professor Delivers.

Thoroughly enjoyed the course. learned a lot. thank you.

Great Course ..

Alhamdulillah

Excelente.

Good.

Good

This was interesting: a good introduction on what we need to develop a secure program and most common sources of vulnerabilities. Thank you!

More code and Example would be good in this code, Example code for Discussion would be good for ideal reference

cool and good

The course covers important and technically relevant topics for identifying security vulnerabilities in C/C++. These topics are highly valuable for secure coding and security engineering, especially when it comes to memory safety and common C/C++ vulnerabilities. However, I found the course to be too theory- and slide-oriented. I would have appreciated more practical demonstrations and hands-on exercises where vulnerabilities could be identified, exploited, analyzed, and then fixed. Compared with the fourth course in this specialization, the difference is quite noticeable. The fourth course provides significantly more hands-on demonstrations and practical work with a real application. I believe a similar approach would have made this course much more engaging and effective. Overall, the technical content is valuable, but the learning experience could be significantly improved by adding more practical, hands-on elements.

Good Learning and good to know that how a programmer neglects the security aspects while coding.

but i feel the content could have been better with deeper understading with live coding eamples.

Thanks for all your Efforts :)

Good course, I just do not do much c or c++ programming anymore.
