Hacking is the art of creative problem solving, whether that means finding an unconventional solution to a difficult problem or exploiting holes in sloppy programming. Many people call themselves hackers, but few have the strong technical foundation needed to really push the envelope. Rather than merely showing how to run existing exploits, author Jon Erickson explains how arcane hacking techniques actually work. Use it to follow along with the book's examples as you fill gaps in your knowledge and explore hacking techniques on your own.

Hacking is the art of creative problem solving, whether that means finding an unconventional solution to a difficult . This book is for both technical and nontechnical people interested in computer security.

Hacking is the art of creative problem solving, whether that means finding an unconventional solution to a difficult problem or exploiting holes in sloppy. Unlike many so-called hacking books, this explains technical aspects of hacking such as stack based overflows, heap based overflows, string exploits, return-into-libc, shellcode, and cryptographic attacks on 80. 1b.

Hacking: The Art of Exploitation (. ISBN 1-59327-007-0) is a book by Jon "Smibbs" Erickson about computer security and network security. All of the examples in the book were developed, compiled, and tested on Gentoo Linux. Jon Erickson is a computer security expert, with a background in computer science.

The Art of Exploitation. February 2008, 488 p. w/ CD. ISBN-13: 9781593271442. Get your hands dirty debugging code, overflowing buffers, hijacking network communications, bypassing protections, exploiting cryptographic weaknesses, and perhaps even inventing new exploits.

A comprehensive introduction to the techniques of exploitation and creative problem-solving methods commonly referred to as "hacking." It shows how hackers exploit programs and write exploits, instead of just how to run other people's exploits. This book explains the technical aspects of hacking, including stack based overflows, heap based overflows, string exploits, return-into-libc, shellcode, and cryptographic attacks on 802.11b.

I picked this book up a number of years ago when I got interested in understanding exploits. I've got experience writing code, and even some basic knowledge of networking. However it was difficult to get past the first 3 chapters. I stopped, and started elsewhere.

This book will cover everything you need to know, and while that sounds great it's not for beginners or people looking to start quickly.

I recommend seeking introductory knowledge elsewhere, C, OSI, TCP/IP, operating systems etc. Penetration Testing a Hands on Guide by Georgia Weidmam is a good way to get started with just getting hands on practice.

Once I went back and got a grip on these concepts and had some practice the book was easier to understand and I came to appreciate it much more.

Its not an easy read, and you need to have some solid understanding of the machine as a whole. After I played with buffer overflows in a VM I went back and appreciated chapter 0x200s coverage of registers and what they do.

Buy this book only if you have a solid understanding of the computer as a whole, or will develop it alongside.

The book will not get you started. It will definitely help you develop the understanding of why a buffer overflow script written in Python works, and how. If you want to get up and running quickly look elsewhere. But that doesn't mean it's a bad text, it's well done, insightful, and will help you understand the why of exploiting software.

I'm taking the PWK course from offensive security, going for my OSCP amd this book might as well be listed as the text book for the class it is full of good stuff and written so that even those completely new to this can understand and follow along, goes far more in depth than the course does (more courses by them go this in depth however) it has examples and a live linux cd to practice with its great.

If I could give this book 10 stars I would. Jon Erickson is a brilliant man and he wrote an incredible book on Hacking, the C programming language, and many possible exploits and methodologies that is truly valuable and applicable knowledge today, even if the book is a bit dated!

However, I would not recommend this as a beginner. If you just watched Mr. Robot for the first time and you think it would be cool to start learning hacking, save this one for later.

A little background information about myself to validate the above statement... I have about 1 year experience Penetration testing and hold four (4) professional IT certifications: Network+, Security+, CASP, and CEH. Additionally I have some coding experience, from coding as a hobby in: Python, Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, PHP, C++, C#, jQuery, Swift, etc.

So if you have about that level of experience and knowledge, this book is a perfect read, that will challenge you and help you grow as an information professional. Less than that... you are probably going to be struggling, especially after you get past the first chapter.

5/5 Book, without a doubt.

This book outlines the fundamentals of hacking, yes. But chapter 2 alone has cleared up so much for me, pointers especially. If you're learning C and feel as if you're stuck in a rut (bored); this book will get you out of that rut in a fun way. It will give you that AhHa! moment where everything starts getting intuitive.

I'm not sure if I would recommend this book to beginners.
When I first started reading it, everything made since and it was a smooth read.
I should also note that I'm a Computer Science major at a university, with my strongest programming language being C++.
In the beginning, the author uses the C programming language as a way of "introducing" the concept of programming and some intro-logic, etc.
What didn't sit right with me: He continued with his beginner introduction to C, and then started referencing assembly language and memory registers.
Isn't that somewhat of an overstep when it comes to the speed of learning this kind of material?
I know nothing about assembly, nor the specifics of memory. I only know how memory is manipulated and moved. It still threw me off a little bit.
Other than that, it's a good read and fairly informative.

This book is a great way to introduce yourself into software exploitation. That being said, this is not necessarily a beginner book. I'd recommend having some programming experience and a basic understanding of computer architecture, binary, base 8 numbering, etc.

The book moves pretty quick, but is written concisely and to the point. It is a little dated, and probably always will be due to the nature of how fast these technologies develop. That being said, it is still a fantastic book, and I will most likely order subsequent editions as they come out.

Pretty heavy reading, but I enjoyed what I got through before I got bored. This is extremely technical: you're not going to read some pleasant narrative and become a master hacker here. This book assumes you're serious and wants to take you there, providing a CD to practice with and everything

Jon Erickson has managed to create one of the most logically and thoroughly laid out books I've read. Although I have a background in Java, no programming experience is necessary. The writing is so dense and well-explained, you can learn from every line and not worry about anything introduced prematurely. Pure brilliance.
