Hi HN, Since February I've been working hard to write a book about Security and Rust, the 2 topics I'm working on full-time since 2017 and 2019 respectively. Why Rust and security? The world of software is plagued by too many programming languages with too many footguns. You have to choose between fast and unsafe (C, C++…) or slow but mostly safe (Python, Java…). What if we could have language that is fast, memory safe, provide low-level controls and high-level abstractions? A language that could help us craft everything, from web servers to shellcodes, passing by scanners and Remote Access Tools. All of that while being cross-platform. Sounds too good to be true? It’s not! Rust is the programming language that meets all these requirements. Of course, there are some pitfalls and a few things to know, but everything is covered in the book. I've created a special coupon for the launch week that is available until Wednesday, December 8 at midnight: https://academy.kerkour.com/black-hat-rust?coupon=BLACK-HAT-WEEK https://academy.kerkour.com/black-hat-rust?coupon=BLACK-HAT-... ;) Also, I've received a few questions about the tools and services I've used to self-publish the book so I wrote a detailed write-up :) https://kerkour.com/book-self-publishing-pandoc/ https://kerkour.com/book-self-publishing-pandoc/
