The authors did...deliver on their ethical obligations to provide accurate countermeasures to attack methods they describe -- a true value to readers. ... security professionals will find value in the authors' formidable understanding of the material. (Information Security Magazine )

I got this book as part of a "Buy something and get this half price deal" - to be honest I wasn't expecting much but thought what the hell. After reading both over the last few weeks I can't actually tell you the name of the first book I bought that this came with, such was the depth this had to offer.
For anyone interested in a simple attack guide this isn't for you - Gray Hat Hacking explores much more complicated subject matter going into detail about the ethics of hacking and responsible disclosure along with the means of doing it properly. If you are working in or touching on IT security this book is a must have - the depth of knowledge is excellent as are the code examples.
If you are new to security or indeed have become a software engineer in only the last few years this book goes back to security fundamentals for good coding, how buffers and machine code actually work. For me as a professional programmer of over a decade, even though I was taught this stuff it has re-awakened me to it and has sharpened up my coding practices as well.
This book is full of stuff and will be the one on your shelf afterwards with loads of post-it notes hanging out the side and plenty of dog-eared pages.

I was so skeptic about this genre of books. But I've to admit that this book is a good resource for people involved in IT security.
The approach used by the book is something in between of a practical guide and a theorical approach.
So you can use it not just as a manual but also as a base to develop a your personal hacking approach. So if you're interested in IT security, penetration tests, networks auditing you should read this book. A last note, in this book you can find plenty of examples based on open-source software.

Too many authors to be a truly coherent handbook. What makes this book stand out however are the excellent sections on developing shellcode for both *nix and Windows environments. A great book for pentesters without a development background but to get the most out of it buy it with a good Python book.
