"Hacking - The Art of Exploitation"

eBook Name: Hacking - The Art of Exploitation
eBook Type: Hacking

Hacking Windows, Linux, Unix

This text introduces the spirit and theory of hacking as well as the science behind it all; it also provides some core techniques and tricks of hacking so you can think like a hacker, write your own hacks or thwart potential system attacks.

This book explains the details of various hacking techniques, many of which get very technical. While the fundamental programming concepts that these hacking techniques build from are introduced in the book, general programming knowledge will certainly aid the reader in understanding these concepts.

The code examples in this book were done on an x86-based computer running Linux. Having a similarly set-up computer to follow along is encouraged; this will let you see the results for yourself and allow you to experiment and try new things. This is what hacking is all about.

Hacking is the art of creating problem solving, whether used to find an unconventional solution to a difficult problem or to exploit holes in sloppy programming.

Many people call themselves hackers, but few have the strong technical foundation that a hacker needs to be successful. Hacking - The Art of Exploitation explains things that every real hacker should know.
