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.

Run the CD as a disk image on Virtual Box

Reviewed in Australia on 25 June 2020

Verified Purchase

I agree with the gist of the reviews here. I started reading this after Jeff Duntemann's Step by Step Assembly, and it complements that very well. It probably helps if you already know some C.

I also couldn't get the CD to run. The solution was to make a disk image of it in "iso" format and run it on Oracle's virtual box with 32-bit ubuntu selected as the machine configuration. It then works perfectly.

CD not running

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 March 2019

Verified Purchase

I will give it 3 stars just because of the errors that I get when booting the CD. It seems that the version of the Ubuntu is just old, however, they could have made newer CDs with up to date environment.
I am not rating the book as the content!

The book is great but the delivery not

The book was full of fingerprints. Whos eating and then grabbing books at amazon? Its ironic as well, fingerprints on a book about hacking.

Landmark on the genre

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2013

Verified Purchase

This book is like no other book in its field/segment/genre whatever you want to call it, this book won't "dummy" guide you through already made up stuff, that will turn you into a BOT.
This book lays ground and rules to think and develop your skills outside of what you have been taught, it teaches you in a way that will let you evolve further without the book, and in no time you will be developing your own exploits, this book would be only worth for its programming side, it is that good.
It comes with a a linux distro with some tools you can use, I have decided to use my own linux distro, but further in the book, it is advised to use the one provided by the book, because, some exploits have already been patched in later distributions, and all of the exploits and tools work on the one provided by the book.
Also the package was adequate and it came in excellent condition.

Absolutely recommended, although not recommended for someone with very little computer knowledge, or someone that have never written a line of code before, if that is your case this will be very difficult to pick up.

The Nuts ... (and bolts)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2014

Verified Purchase

This is a great read for people who want to know the nuts and bolts of exploitation. If you want to know how to 'hack facebook' ... look elsewhere! but, if you are interested in how programs, networks and computers work from a very fundamental level, I would recommend this book.
Some programming experience would be helpful, but you don't have to be a programmer (I'm not) to get something out of this.

Once again, I would recommend this book to people who have a curiosity and interest in how things work.

Excellent introduction

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 February 2021

Verified Purchase

The techniques themseves and the systems at which they are targeted are (largely) long gone, but it is a great introduction to the basic techniques. For those worried about the fact that the CD is out of date, I found it was straightforward to get hold online and upload the required software (VirtualBox and the book code) at no cost.
