Hacking: The Art of Exploitation
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...

This book is for both technical and nontechnical people interested in computer security. Unlike many so-called hacking books, this explains technical aspects of hacking such as stack based overflows, heap based overflows, string exploits, return-into-libc, shellcode, and cryptographic attacks on 802.11b.

\ From Barnes & NobleThe Barnes & Noble Review\ What is the true spirit of hacking? It’s exploration. Discovery. Invention. If you want to be a pioneer, not just a “script kiddie,” read Hacking: The Art of Exploitation. \ This book is about awakening and feeding your passionate curiosity about how software and networks work. What do overflows look like, and how do they make systems vulnerable? What can be done with shellcode? How do Denial of Service and TCP/IP Hijack attacks work? How does a man-in-the-middle attack circumvent encryption?\ Whether you’re exploiting systems, protecting them, or just plain fascinated by them, this is the technical foundation you need to start hacking -- for real.

His 15 books include Special Edition Using Word 2003 and Upgrading & Fixing Networks for Dummies, Second Edition.\ \ \
