There are tools such as static analysers and Todd and Theo's talk on strl*, porting security guidelines etc. and many books (that may or may not recommend c++ ;-)) and even Ada to C conversion but with added worries about compilers and obfuscation or the Go language where applicable but is there a particular reference many recommend or use to brush up for secure C coding in a fashion akin to K&R's "C bible" being recommended by past threads for learning C and referencing?
