I typically review systems and commercial software from a security stand point. Recently, there has been a push to review software that is developed in-house utilizing tools such as Burpsuite and Fortify SCA. The classes that have been offered to my co-workers have been best described as How-To install the Fortify software. I was hoping to find a book with an in-depth view of utilizing Fortify to analyze source code. While the main focus of the book is not on Fortify, I was hoping that the 2 Chapters (Tutorials) would be a good start as this is the only book I know of that deals with Fortify (except the proprietary HP manuals).Why not just use the proprietary manuals and play with the software at work? Simple, I do not have time to read through manuals and play at work. I need something I can work with at home. The biggest problem I have with this book is that the software included is no longer functional. To install, you have to get a license from the Fortify website which is now owned by HP. Neither the authors nor HP will provide a license so the software is useless.If you are looking for a book to aide in secure code analysis, this is not the book for you. Secure Programming with Static Analysis… I read as make your applications secure by using static code analysis to identify problems. While the authors do give a fair amount of bad code to learn from, the details are less forth coming than in other books. Rather than give examples of how to use static code analysis tools to identify and correct problems, the authors give details of how they wrote rules to identify the problematic code. So if you are a programmer wanting to write your own "Fortify" software, this is a great start.
