Hacking: The Art of Exploitation 2nd Edition
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 really push the envelope.
Rather than merely showing how to run existing
exploits,
author Jon Erickson explains how arcane hacking techniques
actually 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 along with the book's
examples as you fill gaps in your knowledge and explore
hacking techniques on your own. 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 using C, assembly language, and shell
scripts
Corrupt system memory to run arbitrary code using 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 using 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 using the FMS attack, and
speed up brute-force attacks using a password probability
matrix
Hackers are always pushing the boundaries, investigating the
unknown, and evolving their art. Even if you don't already
know how to program, Hacking: The Art of Exploitation, 2nd
Edition will give 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 need is your own creativity.
