More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
While other books merely show how to run existing exploits, Hacking: The Art of Exploitation broke ground as the first book to explain how hacking and software exploits work and how readers could develop and implement their own. In the second edition, author Jon Erickson again uses practical examples to illustrate the most common computer security issues in three related fields: programming, networking and cryptography. All sections have been extensively updated and expanded, including a more thorough introduction to the complex, low-level workings of a computer. Readers can easily follow along with example code by booting the included live CD, which provides a Linux programming environment and all of its benefits without the hassle of installing a new operating system.
About the Author
Jon Erickson has a formal education in computer science and speaks frequently at computer security conferences around the world. He works as a cryptologist and security specialist in Northern California.

Format:Paperback
While many of the so called hacking books do little more than act as a step by step guide on script kiddy tools and trojans, with the obligatory screenshots.
This one is different, and it's definately the one to get if you are serious about the subject.
A pretty comprehensive guide on some of the low level aspects of true hacking.
It's not for the faint hearted though, it's a heavy and complicated read, and I say that with a bachelors degree in I.T and Computing.
Some exposure to C, and more than a passing exposure to ASM might well be a healthy pre-requisite, as well as an understanding of memory addressing.
If you can't read and understand source code, you will be wasting your time and money here.
