The Shellcoder's Handbook: Discovering and Exploiting Security Holes, 2nd Edition
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Aug 2007, Pages: 744
The first edition of The Shellcoders Handbook was written largely in 2002/2003. There are a number of new exploitation techniques that have been discovered since the original publication. The original book contained content on exploiting Windows, Linux, Solaris, OpenBSD and Tru64 platforms. Tru64 is no longer a supported OS. This content will be replaced with Mac OSX which has grown in popularity. In addition, it is now common to find many new protections to prevent exploits from working. Microsoft has implemented many new security features in Windows XP, 2003 and Vista. These will be covered as well as attacking security-specific protections (Cisco Security Agent, MacAfees Entercept, etc.). Unique, first-to-market content on exploiting Ciscos IOS, which is the OS used by most of Ciscos networking gear will be included. IOS is uncharted territory and the 2e of The Shellcoders Handbook will be the first source for this information.
-This much-anticipated revision, written by the ultimate group of top security experts in the world, features 40 percent new content on how to find security holes in any operating system or application
-New material addresses the many new exploitation techniques that have been discovered since the first edition, including attacking 'unbreakable' software packages such as McAfee's Entercept, Mac OS X, XP, Office 2003, and Vista
-Also features the first-ever published information on exploiting Cisco's IOS, with content that has never before been explored
-The companion Web site features downloadable code files
