Preview — Hacking by Jon Erickson
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, retur...more

Feb 22, 2013Todd N rated it it was amazing · review of another edition
My son swells with pride whenever I call him my little hacker. His main goal is to find a way to play Minecraft or watch Minecraft videos on YouTube. He has guessed the iPad and AppleTV passwords to achieve these goals. Once he took my phone and texted this to my wife: 'This is Todd. What is the iPad password?' (I was laughing too hard to scold him for that, though we did have a talk about social engineering afterwards.)
Anyway, this book describes much more sophisticated techniques starting with...more

This book took me a long time to get through, longer than I care to admit, but I felt this journey paid mega-dividends many times over. I cannot think of a more intellectually-enriching book I have read in the past five or six years.
I read this book with the aim to learn more about assembly language and (broadly speaking) the hardware / software interface. I learned more than I ever cared to know about either of these things and so much more. It should be said, prior to purchasing this book, my...more

This book is a good introductory in the subject for mainly two reasons. One is the fact that the book is clearly written and builds up gradually so you're not required to have too much information about the subject before starting to read. Second being the Livecd you can download and which works as a testing platform when you're learning the basics of programming or studying different kinds of exploits.
I enjoyed reading and practicing while reading and my only beef with this book is that in my o...more

First of all, let me say that if you have a 64-bit computer here is what you need to know: The liveCD that comes with the book ONLY works on 32-bit computers. Luckily, I have a pentesting machine that I have Kali Linux running on. The website for the book has all of the source code, so I just downloaded it and run in on Kali and it was perfect for me. I think the only extra thing I needed to download was Perl (type: 'sudo apt-get install perl' without the quotes into the command line for those o...more
Good book. Mostly about C and overflow-based attacks, which can be kind of confusing if you were looking for a more high-level book...
Sep 14, 2016Hugh Smalley rated it really liked it · review of another edition
While other books merely show how to run existing exploits, Hacking: The Art of Exploitation broke ground as the first book to explain how hacking and software exploits work and how readers could develop and implement their own. In the extensively updated and expanded second edition, author Jon Erickson again uses practical examples to illustrate the most common computer security issues in three related fields: programming, networking and cryptography. Includes a live CD, which provides a Linux

I had read part of this book at university, years ago. While it is no longer up to date and maybe most of the exploits and techniques described have been patched for years, the concepts and general strategies still apply.
If you're looking for a general overview of security (buffer overflows, encryption, passwords, wireless networks, network-enabled apps...), I think this is still a great resource.

this is a very good book on the subject of hacking. it covers all of the fundamentals in great detail with plenty of diagrams and code examples that make the text easy to follow. Topics covered include buffer overflows, writing shellcode, and even some wireless hacking.

Hands down this is one of the best technical books I've read so far.
The only missing part I think is:
- no integer overflow exploitation
- no details about recent techniques to bypass ASLR
- some chapters are not about exploits or memory corruptions
I really enjoyed the sections on buffer overflows (NOP sled, overwriting the stack return pointer) and network scans/DoS attacks. This book afforded me some cool techniques I didn't learn in my Computational Science degree. The author thoroughly conveys the hacker mentality.

Really great introduction to the subject.
Feb 02, 2019F rated it really liked it · review of another edition
This book primarily focuses on teaching buffer overflow exploits under Linux.
the techniques shown in the book will not work on most modern Linux distributions without crippling the security features that are baked into them (ASLR, stack canaries, DEP, etc)
the book focuses on teaching you the concepts without having you worry about turning off security features on Linux. While most of these techniques are outdated
The book does not cover Windows exploitation at all

This is a fundamentals approach to hacking, diving deep into C and assembly code to give you a thorough understanding of how hacks work on the most basic level. I really liked how it selves into the source code of common tools like nmap so you understand how they work, rather than using them blindly. At the same time, I expect to revisit this book at a later stage; it ramps up quickly and the reader would benefit from a familiarity with shellcode and so on.
Spends too much time on one topic then runs out of time to get truly creative. However it’s still worth a read if you are interested in creating exploits, particularly for Linux.
Erickson also takes you through the ‘history’ of an exploit, with step by step guides that build on each other. It’s fascinating to see how ‘small’ ideas turn into really powerful tools.
Not a life changing masterpiece but a good insight into the ‘hacker’ mindset, without skimping on the technical information.

Far from comprehensive, and not a 'how to' book for burgeoning hackers. Excellent coverage of buffer overflows, including sample code in C to bring it to life. Some interesting discussion of SSH man-in-the-middle and WEP attacks. The remainder of the book is standard (but good) coverage of programming, networking, and crypto.
Probably one of the most difficult books I've ever read, but only because it's packed full of deep level information. Definitely a must for anyone interested in learning Assembly or C coding, if only to avoid common pitfalls. Supplement this book with 'A Bug Hunter's Diary' by Tobias Klein.

The real deal. Teaches C exploits that have been around since the beginning.

Excellent book! It gives a very clear explanation on the fundamental concepts of exploitation.
No.1 book for hacking
The best book to start learning hacking!!!!

Better utilized as a reference book to cherry pick topics than a deep dive from cover to cover.

I've read maybe a dozen manuals on systems security, and this one is the last you should read. It's on top.

I got this book during a one-day Amazon deal for $6.99. This is the first Kindle book that I read entirely using the desktop app. This is pretty much necessary in order to derive the full value of its content. The book contains a DVD (or an equivalent .ISO image file if you have an ebook).
[Speaking of the .ISO file, it was quite a little trick for me to be able to access the content. If you have a physical book, you would just pop the DVD into your computer. (Although fewer computers have built-...more
Very Good read, no prior knowledge required to understand the book. This book take you by the hand from A to Z. Author is very thorough in explaining things he tries to teach you. I got my first steps in the Computer Security field thanks to this book.
Aug 17, 2015Naessens rated it really liked it · review of another edition
Jon Erickson introduces advanced concept of exploitations from buffer overflows to shellcode injection and network sniffing. I write 'introduces' because although these 'hacks' are complex they are well-known nowadays and countermeasures have been developed. In the end, Erickson gives readers the basis to think by themselves and develop their own hacks. But script kiddies will be disappointed if they hope to find new weapons as most exploit described in the book have been patched by software edi...more

Finally, years later, I've finished working through this. Do not recommend.
The experience is probably better if you run Linux as packaged on the Live CD. I no longer own any devices with a CD drive, so tried this on Ubuntu. Unfortunately, this worked out poorly: despite being published in 2004, the book doesn't mention 'modern' protections like ASLR and non-executable stack space (until well after trying to have the reader perform a stack-based exploit). Even once they are mentioned, there's lit...more
Great book.
Good overviews of topics before diving into guts.
Section intros are breezy reads with lots of information, but the deep dives following get quite technical and slow.
Book starts with intro to programming and assembly before getting to the main event.
Developers can skim or skip this part.
Provides great information on overflow and printf vulnerabilities, network hacking, and producing compact, polymorphic shellcode in the printable ascii range.

This book was hard to read but more than worth it. This book argues that Hackers are misunderstood and that they should be respected as problem solvers, and the Author did a great job of persuading you of that. It is certainly a challenging book because it is basically a text book. But it was written in a way that made sense, It showed you some code, and gave you an example of it in a real life situation. It used a C-like Pseudo-Code Syntax which I think is a good thing to start off, and I would...more
I chose this book because I wanted more technical information on hacking/cracking than what you find in general interest books on the topic. Be careful what you wish for! Although I'm a software developer, I found this book to be tough sledding. About 1/3 of the book is code (C and assembler) and terminal I/O listings, and another 1/3 are walkthroughs of the code. Many of the higher-level passages were also tough to grasp, such as explanations of how decryption algorithms work. By browsing throu...more
