From the Publisher
‘A Rare Find’
“A book this good is a rare find, and certainly worth the read for any individual interested in security. Rating: 9/10”
—Slashdot
‘Highly Accessible’
“Like all good books, Hacking: The Art of Exploitation, 2nd Edition encourages you to get your hands dirty. Each chapter focuses on a series of examples with finely worded guidance from Erickson. It’s not a beast of a read either; it is highly accessible with an emphasis on allowing practice of the examples rather than drowning the reader in hacking theory.”
—The Register
‘A Security Professional’s Paradise’
“A security professional’s paradise, burrowing down to the code level of dozens of different loopholes and explaining the underlying logic behind the attacks.”
—GeekDad on Wired.com
