I highly encourage everyone to go look at the hall of fame, it was extremely eye opening when I first did! Even knowing there is an exploit in the code, I probably would never be able to find most of them. My favorite is 2008's winner who's goal is to write a redaction program to redact text. It doesn't use any buffer/array hacks, the code is very straightforward and simple and small, and it would work in languages other than C. It's a terrifying example of how easy it is to write malicious code that would pass multiple code reviews but still has a backdoor! http://www.underhanded-c.org/_page_id_17.html http://www.underhanded-c.org/_page_id_17.html
