C++ Fundamentals for Security Researchers and Reverse Engineers: Modern C++20/23 for Low-Level Systems, Memory Management, and Binary Exploitation

By Takehiro kanegi

Reactive Publishing

Master modern C++ for the unique demands of security research and reverse engineering.

In today's complex threat landscape, security professionals and reverse engineers need more than basic programming knowledge, they require deep, low-level mastery of C++ to analyze binaries, understand memory behavior, exploit vulnerabilities, and build robust defensive tools.

C++ Fundamentals for Security Researchers and Reverse Engineers delivers a focused, practical guide to C++20 and C++23 features specifically tailored for low-level systems work. Whether you're dissecting malware, developing exploit-proof code, performing binary analysis, or building custom security tooling, this book bridges the gap between general C++ education and the specialized needs of the security field.

What You'll Learn: Modern C++20/23 idioms, smart pointers, concepts, modules, and coroutines as they apply to performance-critical and security-sensitive codeMemory management internals: stack vs heap behavior, alignment, ownership patterns, and common pitfalls that lead to vulnerabilitiesLow-level systems programming techniques essential for reverse engineering and binary exploitationBinary exploitation fundamentals: how C++ code translates to machine instructions, buffer overflows, use-after-free, and other classic and modern attack surfacesSecure coding practices that help you both attack and defend effectively

Written for practicing security researchers, reverse engineers, malware analysts, and penetration testers, this book emphasizes clarity over theory. Every concept is paired with real-world examples and code patterns you'll encounter in actual security work.

Whether you're transitioning from older C++ standards or strengthening your low-level skills for red team, blue team, or vulnerability research roles, this book provides the precise, up-to-date knowledge you need.

Ideal for readers who already have basic C++ experience and want to operate confidently at the metal.
