Great book What a great book. From no skillz to haxor writing shellcode, I'd recommend this to any academic institution wishing to teach on security. The first few chapters aren't overly exciting, but finding a book that gives fair coverage to topics like Linux shellcode development, client-side attacks on Windows, IDA pro usage, fuzzing, and more is no easy find!
Great job guys! jrod
Average Nutshell review - The book title is a good attention grabber but I think the content could have been more extensive. An average book but still worth a read.
this book is a waste of good paper I have been condicting ethical hacking for 3 years and this book was such a let down, it falls well short in providing and good detailed content. Basically its the kind of stuff you learn on day 1 and shows no evidence of experience from an author who can hack into systems. My advise is save your money as this book covers nothing you wouldnt find on Google in 5 minutes. You know it is so bad I think I will write my own book.
My advise google, wireshark, nmap and netcat the content you get it 5 minutes will be as good as this book.
Another revolutionary book from a revolutionary author! Now Listen...
I know some of you look at these books as if it's a world of training people to be hackers. Now, maybe these books might create a few bad seeds, but they usually create a lot of good ones..
This book is astounding, I bought this book because I love researching all about hacking, security, and protection. My major is computer science and I am hoping to be a professional white hat security professional, a hacker that is hired to show the flaws in sites.
Now,when people see these books and say...this is madness!! books about hacking?!
I think these books are great.They help you protect yourself, your computer, your company, your website, your server.
This book shows a lot what hackers use...and the more you know about it, the better you can protect yourself.If you think that this trains bad hackers, well we cant change how some people use information.What I can tell you is that a lot of people will be better off with the information in this book for the companies and servers.
This author is excellent! Great book!
A good guide for the beginner ethical hacker. There is alot of good knowledge to be learned in this book, but it is very cutthroat and dry. There are almost no "real world" examples of what they talk about, and alot of it talks about using programs that were created for linux.. Otherwise it is a good book, but I have read better.
