- Rust is rapidly redefining systems programming by offering a breakthrough promise: low-level control (like C/C++) with an inherent guarantee of memory safety. For decades, vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows, dangling pointers, and use-after-free bugs were accepted as unavoidable hazards, fueling the most devastating cyberattacks. Rust's Ownership and Borrow Checker model fundamentally eliminate these entire classes of errors at compile time, shifting security assurance from runtime chance to design-time certainty. Rust is now being mandated by governments and adopted by cloud providers and embedded systems vendors to build hardened, high-performance security infrastructure. Rust Security Engineering is the definitive guide for cybersecurity professionals ready to harness Rust for both offensive and defensive operations. This book merges exploit development and hardened systems design, teaching you to build memory-safe tools, automate vulnerability analysis with fuzzing pipelines, and architect systems that withstand the most rigorous threat models. Forget endless patching; learn to code with precision and assurance. What's Inside: Key Topics for Mastery The book provides a comprehensive, hands-on journey, including:Memory-Safe Systems Programming : Mastering Ownership, Borrowing, and Lifetimes to write high-performance, zero-cost abstractions without memory corruption risks.Offensive Tool Development : Building stable, concurrent network scanners, enumerators, and covert recon tools using Tokio for high throughput and rate-limit management.Exploit Prototyping and Controlled Unsafe Code : Wielding the unsafe keyword responsibly to perform controlled pointer manipulation, model vulnerable targets, and design payloads with ethical guardrails.Automated Vulnerability Analysis (Fuzzing) : Implementing coverage-guided fuzzing with cargo-fuzz, integrating AddressSanitizer (ASan), and automating crash triage and reproduction.Hardened Systems and Supply-Chain Defense : Applying seccomp filters and capability reduction for sandboxing, enforcing dependency integrity with cargo-deny, and generating Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) for provenance.Legacy Integration and Migration : Auditing C libraries for security flaws, building secure Foreign Function Interface (FFI) wrappers, and a gradual migration strategy to replace unsafe modules with Rust components.Secure CI/CD and Version Control : Building pipelines that enforce security scans, run Miri for undefined behavior detection, and enforce secure release, signing, and version control policies.Who Should Read This Book? This book is written for Cybersecurity Professionals and Developers stepping into security work. If you are an Exploit Developer, Penetration Tester, or Secure Infrastructure Designer who is tired of patching the same memory flaws year after year, Rust offers the framework to build faster, safer, and more maintainable codebases. A foundational knowledge of systems programming and security concepts is helpful, but no prior Rust experience is strictly required. The world of secure systems programming is evolving quickly. By understanding how to harness Rust now, you won’t just follow the future, you will help define it. Turn the page and start building the kind of secure software most engineers only talk about.
