Trusting trust

I came across this whilst doing some security related research.

I thought some of the coders here may find it interesting:

"The moral is obvious. You can't trust code that you did not totally create yourself."

Heck... I don't always trust code that IS written entirely by myself... :rofl::rofl::rofl:

My code frightens me if it works as expected. :rolleyes:

I wrote an indexed searchable and sortable address book/contact app in 'C' a long time ago as a learning exercise. Lot's of pointers to pointers. I instinctively knew it would work, but at the time I couldn't understand how it worked. If I examined the code now, it would probably be the most exploitable bit of code I have ever written.
