IT GOES ON IT (0/1 people found this helpful)
I read this book & I can say only one thing..
THIS BOOK REVIEW THE DEEP HEART OF THE ART OF PROGRAMMING, it cover at all!
Not for rookies... Anycase it could be a good start..
I learned a lot from this book..
Brilliant! (2/2 people found this helpful)
If you are a programmer who wants to learn about hacking and cracking techniques this book is great! Code examples are easy to follow and intuitive, be aware though, this book is strongly aimed at open source operating systems, not windows. I personally found it a bit of a shame that the section on networking wasn't as detailed and big as that of software exploits on stand alone machines.
This book is a definate must buy and I will be referring to it's principles for a long time to come.
Dont Bother Unless You Have Linux Installed (17/53 people found this helpful)
Hmmmm, I sometimes wonder whether these so called "Reviews" are actually written by the general public or people working for the book's publishing company! Lets get one thing straight regarding this book, to 'use' it you HAVE to have Linux installed (something I've never seen mentioned) and you need to be pretty proficient with the C programming language. Yes, the book briefly describes (one page) the concept of programming in general, but then moves on at such a pace that a novice would be completley lost a few pages later. Ok granted, not many non-programmers would probably even look at this book, but potential buyers need to be aware of the expectations on the reader.
As a programmer myself of 12 years, I feel that potential buyers who are not very experienced would be well advised to save their money.
Best book on the subject full stop! (1/12 people found this helpful)
Hay,
To put it in plain English; The rest are crap and this is the best!
I looked at the rest out and they are just script kiddy books every one apart from this one. Unless you are a sad little script kiddy that whant's to crack not hack into a system... and you wan't to lean about hacking not cracking then this is the best book to buy by miles!
Can't recomend more and wish that others would follow and make books like this fine bit of work ;)
Best Regards and hope this helpted in your chosce and sorry about the spelling,
Edward.
The Definitive Computer Security Handbook! (7/7 people found this helpful)
I consider this book to be excellent. It is a "must read" if you really want a thorough grasp of the priciples behind computer security. It concisely explains the techniques of exploitation, aided by clear code examples. You will benefit most from this book if you start with a basic background knowledge of C programming, shell scripting and networking.
