Valve's Steam Software (posted in security.software also)
Several issues have been brought up recently regarding the security of Valve's (makers of Half-Life and Half-Life2) content delivery system named Steam.

Book Review: Software Security
I'm jealous. No seriously. If Cigital is actually ran as depicted in the book Software Security - Building Security In, I have to give kudos to Gary and the gang for making an impressive environment for software security. I'm a fan of Gary's writing. If you are a regular reader, you know I loved both his books on Building Secure Software and Exploiting Software. This latest book is, in my mind at least, a balancing act between the two previous books on the topic. Gary calls it the "Ying and Yang". Which makes total sense, since the book cover is of exactly that, ...

Securing Software
Hey Crypto Gurus, I've been working on some new software for Windows 7. I've always, prior to now, given my software away. I've decided that I want to start charging $0.99 for my new software. I'm debating on how to implement this... I was thinking of doing a shareware type model, free to try for 30 days, then you must buy. My problem is that I'm not sure the best way to: A) Enforce the trial period... Is this usually done in the registry? Couldn't I just "fudge" the date if I didn't want to pay... Should the date of install b...
