Description

Hacking is the art of creative problem solving, whether that means finding an unconventional solution to a difficult problem or exploiting holes in sloppy programming. Many people call themselves hackers, but few have the strong technical foundation needed to actually push the envelope.

Rather than merely showing how to run existing exploits, writer Jon Erickson explains how arcane hacking techniques in truth work. To share the art and science of hacking in a way that is accessible to everyone, Hacking: The Art of Exploitation, 2nd Edition introduces the fundamentals of C programming from a hacker’s perspective.

The included LiveCD provides a complete Linux programming and debugging environment—all without modifying your current operating system. Use it to follow in conjunction with the book’s examples as you fill gaps in your knowledge and explore hacking techniques by yourself. Get your hands dirty debugging code, overflowing buffers, hijacking network communications, bypassing protections, exploiting cryptographic weaknesses, and perhaps even inventing new exploits. This book will teach you how to:
– Program computers the usage of C, assembly language, and shell scripts
– Corrupt system memory to run arbitrary code the usage of buffer overflows and format strings
– Inspect processor registers and system memory with a debugger to gain a real understanding of what is happening
– Outsmart common security measures like nonexecutable stacks and intrusion detection systems
– Gain access to a remote server the usage of port-binding or connect-back shellcode, and alter a server’s logging behavior to hide your presence
– Redirect network traffic, conceal open ports, and hijack TCP connections
– Crack encrypted wireless traffic the usage of the FMS attack, and speed up brute-force attacks the usage of a password probability matrix

Hackers are all the time pushing the boundaries, investigating the unknown, and evolving their art. Although you don’t already know how to program, Hacking: The Art of Exploitation, 2nd Edition gives you a complete picture of programming, machine architecture, network communications, and existing hacking techniques. Combine this knowledge with the included Linux environment, and all you wish to have is your own creativity.
