Review: A hacking book that teaches you mindset - I've read quite a few books on hacking, many of which focus on specific technologies—such as using tools to perform reconnaissance on websites and identify potential attack targets. This book, however, takes a different approach. It starts by teaching the fundamentals of assembly and C programming, then moves on to help you identify programs vulnerable to buffer overflows. You'll learn how to write shellcode to exploit these vulnerabilities. What sets this book apart is its minimal reliance on abstractions. For instance, it teaches you how to build your own simple web server, which you can then exploit. Need to perform a SYN flood against a target? No problem—you'll write your own in C to fully understand the process. This hands-on approach will give you a solid understanding of networking. There's even a chapter dedicated to cryptography, which will deepen your knowledge in this critical area. To top it off, the book culminates in a project where you'll learn to crack WEP encryption—not with third-party tools, but by exploiting weak initialization vectors (IVs) and doing it all yourself. While some of the examples, such as the buffer overflow scenarios, may not work in real-world environments, this book is still an invaluable resource. It covers essential foundational knowledge that will serve you well on your hacking journey. There are books that quickly get outdated because they teach you how to use tools. This book is a classic. It teaches you understanding. After reading this, you’ll have a better understanding of how third-party tools work, or you can write your own!
Review: Regained my lost book - I had the first edition copy of this book that I studied. This second edition has a lot more knowledge and sets the mindset to have. It’s very insightful and tackles concept in an easy to grasp way. The first edition had a CD in the back, but since then they have gone away with the physical disk and have a link in the back of the book to set up your vm or machine to practice the concepts in a safe environment. This is a great addition to anyone curious about computers and wanting to do a hands on approach. I’d recommend for beginners up to advanced. It’s a handy reference and great for getting your feet wet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a 'real' hacking book, not another high level concepts book
*by J***T on December 16, 2024*

This is a 'real' hacking book, not another high level concepts book. It examines low level exploits, mostly via assembly language and C code examples. By page 21, Jon is walking the user through an object dump of a C program, by page 25 explaining the Intel assembly language. We have all heard of buffer overflow exploits, shellcodes. Jon provides detailed coding examples, teaching the reader about registers, memory locations - all in exacting, working detail. My favorite part of the book is when Jon, wanting to reduce the footprint of a sample exploit program's code, reverses a loop's order, shortening a section of code from 5 to 4 instructions! Super clever.
