No programming knowledge is required, everything necessary is explained in the book.
Specifically, the book contains the following:
- Programming in C, assembler, and shell scripts.
- Overwriting system memory to execute arbitrary code.
- Reading processor registers and system memory
- Bypassing common security measures such as non-executable stack or intrusion detection systems.
- Port-binding and connect-back shellcode to penetrate remote systems
- Forwarding network traffic, hiding open ports, and hijacking TCP connections
- Decrypting encrypted network traffic
Overall, the book provides a comprehensive picture of programming techniques, machine architecture, network communication, and existing hacker techniques. To try out all the newly learned things right away, a Linux Live CD is included, so you can test everything safely without endangering your own system.
