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.
