A disturbing, subversive book. And I mean this in a positive sense. Hogland and

McGraw explain the major ways in which software can be attacked. They describe

how reverse engineering can be done, even if all you have is binary code to work

on. Given a disassembler and a decompiler, and these exist for all the major

platforms, you can systematically apply white box, black box and grey box

analysis to deconstruct a program. They show how attacks can be done against

servers, because nowadays on the net, servers are often tempting, fat targets.

But from your standpoint, if you wish to defend against these attacks, you

really need to be aware of the issues they raises. 'Know the enemy'. Plus, they

also show how a server could attack, or be used to attack, unsuspecting clients

that connect to it. Of course, buffer overflows are the most commonly known

source of attacks. Thus an entire chapter is devoted to this. PHP users may not

be thrilled to hear that it is fundamentally insecure. Its ease of learning and

coding comes with this heavy price. Still, it is all the more reason that PHP

users and sysadmins running web servers that use PHP, should be aware of the

dangers in it. The book is not a trivial read. The authors give detailed

examples at the level of the x86 assembler. A strong background in this and in

C/C++ will give you the greatest benefit when studying the book.
