From Book News, Inc.
Erickson, a cryptologist and security specialist, introduces the spirit and theory of computer hacking as well as the science, allowing readers to understand the hacker mindset and thwart potential attacks. He explains how to exploit programs using buffer overflows and format strings, write printable ASCII polymorphic shellcode, defeat non- executable stacks by returning to libc, and crack encrypted 8-2.11b wireless traffic using the FMS attack.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Product Description:
Emphasizing a true understanding of the techniques as opposed to just breaking the rules, the author helps readers determine which areas are prone to attack and why. Unlike other so-called hacking guides, this book does not gloss over technical details, and includes detailed sections on stack-based overflows, heap based overflows, format string exploits, return-into-libc, shellcode, and cryptographic attacks on 802.11b.
