C/C++ Programming

,

Alright I’m a big fan of C.
I will post some C programming tutorials and books I’ve found here!

Books:

The C Programming Language - K & R

Pros:

  • Covers the entire syntax
  • Is a must-read
  • The best book about the C programming language
  • Very in-depth
    Cons:
  • Might be a bit hard for beginners (then again C is kinda hard).
  • ???

Hacking The Art of Exploitation 2nd Edition

Pros:

  • Goes in depth about debugging, and low level stuff
  • Explain pointers, structs and arrays really well
  • Has a lot of exercises
  • Is fun to do, because you learn some hacking at the same time
  • Covers the heap and the stack really well
  • Covers socket programming
    Cons:
  • It’s not really beginner friendly
  • Does not cover everything in depth
  • The low level stuff requires some knowledge of ASM

Beej’s Guide to Netwerk Programming - Brian “Beej Jorgensen” Hall

Pros:

  • Covers sockets
  • Just awesome
    Cons:
  • Doesn’t cover low level packet forging (I’ll write a guide on this soon).
  • ?

C is indeed an interesting language. I personally prefer C++ and I recommend it to anyone who hasnt tried it yet!
