Ask HN: Is there a good security primer for a non-security programmer?

22 pointsby daveedabout 3 years ago
^ Basically, I didn't take any security-adjacent classes in school, and never had to consider these things for my previous work. I've heard about things like web cache poisoning but never thought closely about them. Is there a good place for me to get a primer?

If you&#x27;re into dead tree formats, I suggest this book: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cl.cam.ac.uk&#x2F;~rja14&#x2F;book.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cl.cam.ac.uk&#x2F;~rja14&#x2F;book.html</a><p>It&#x27;s big but covers a lot of things and is pretty accessible.

I’ve scanned this and have it in my reading list:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;veeral-patel&#x2F;how-to-secure-anything" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;veeral-patel&#x2F;how-to-secure-anything</a><p>I’ve been working with a very competent security team for several years and there were a lot of familiar terms and techniques.

NIST has a bunch of resources. Just search &quot;NIST intro to security&quot;.
