The hacker's bible Watching the series "24" I'm often impress by how Chloe O'Brian and Edgar Stiles get to break into any system they want to with ease. Reading this book I now know where they got their information from. This book is a classic,any kind of exploit is analyse by accomplished security experts. The coverage is pretty intence and even seniors c and assembler programmers will need to read some of the material a few times to make sure they get it. This is the kind of book you have to take your time reading, yes it is that deep. Eventhough the book was released four years ago the price of the book remain the same, which tell me the information in it is valuable. If exploiting is something that is something to want to get into, look no further this is the only book you need.

Review:

Need some work. As a security consultant and penetration tester I can say that this books is quite interesting and covers lots of software exploitation area but it still need some work. Mostly on how concept are explained, used and writen. You'll still find lots of papers on internet with better (more complete) explanation but still, this is a must have for every penetration testers and security auditor. Be advise: This book is for not for beginners. Review:

Excellent Book In the last few months I've read several white hat/black hat books on security, and I must say that this one is the best. Not for the completely new to the subject, and a little too quick to explain some complex topics, but still a great book. I have only two complaints, which aren't making me give this book less than a 5:

1. There's a lot of errors in the content, and following such an advance book when you can't trust the code gets complicated.

2. There are a few chapters, particularly in section 3, where the style hasn't been neutralized, and you can absolutely tell that the book was written by 5 different people with almost no coordination. Other than that, excellent book. I'm looking forward to buying Database Hacker's Handbook, by the same editor. Review:

Koziol is great. This book is absolutely excellent. One of the best, if not the best security book I have ever read.

As previously stated numerous times, it will require you have Assembly and C knowledge. If you don't know either one the book will move lightning fast and you will probably not have the ability to keep up. If you do know both, you should be able to take the book at a nice and steady speed.

Aside from difficulty, the rumors that it contains syntax errors ARE true. There are a few little errors in places like this (showing a typical off-by-one error to prove that C doesn't check boundries on arrays): include int main() {

int array[5] = {1,2,3,4,5};

printf("%d",array[5];

}

While these errors ARE numerous and slightly annoying, the important thing to understand is that you get the general concepts they are trying to teach you. Anybody can fix the syntax to work correctly but if they don't know the logic behind the syntax it's no different than a car mechanic trying to fix a F-16 jet. I am willing to overlook the syntax and lexical errors that appear in this book and give it a 5/5. I may be too light, but I think it's an absolutely essential book that everybody should read.

If you find yourself wanting to get a book, whether it be Hacking: The Art of Exploitation, Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering, Rootkits: subverting the Windows kernel, or The Art of Computer Virus Research and Defense, while all excellent books (which I highly recommend you all read if this book interests you), if you have the ability to get The Shellcoders Handbook: Discovering and Exploiting Security Holes, you should.

Review:

One of the best! This book is excellent. I highly recommend it for everyone from admins learning about what hackers are trying to do to their network to seasoned exploit writers. The best part of this book is that if gives a very solid foundation to anyone interested in the field. The only negative thing that I can say is that you can see a slight difference in writing style between some of the chapters, but I suppose that is to be expected with so many authors.
