A free online book, 'High Assurance Rust', teaching secure and robust systems software development in Rust through a project-based approach. Readers build a hardened, safe alternative to Rust's standard ordered map/set while learning fuzzing, program analysis, and low-level security concepts.
Use cases
- learn rust for systems programming
- write memory-safe low-level code
- learn fuzzing and program analysis techniques
- understand secure software development in rust
- re-implement rust standard library data structures
- learn about software assurance and verification
- build c ffi bindings for rust libraries
When to choose
- you're an experienced developer wanting to learn rust deeply
- you need to write security-critical systems software
- you want a free, hands-on introduction to low-level software security
- you're interested in memory safety, fuzzing, and formal verification
When to avoid
- you're a complete beginner to programming
- you need a quick rust syntax reference rather than deep concepts
- you want a general-purpose rust tutorial without a security focus
