This tutorial paper considers the issues of low-level software security from a language-based perspective, with the help of concrete examples. Four examples of low-level software attacks are covered in full detail; these examples are representative of the major types of attacks on C and C++ software that is compiled into machine code. Six examples of practical defenses against those attacks are also covered in detail; these defenses are selected because of their effectiveness, wide applicability, and low enforcement overhead.
