A fine book--> A must have for programmers for the thought process presented alone. Exteremly thorough coverage of several limited types of security issues. It includes major sections on programming, networking, and cryptography.
Many hacking books show you how to run other people's exploits without really explaining the technical details, Hacking: The Art Of Exploitation introduces you to the spirit and theory of hacking as well as the science behind it all...
The Fundamental Techniques Of Serious Hacking:
This book does an excellent job of explain various techniques that hackers employ. The explainations include examples, source code, breakouts, and descriptions. The book progresses from basic examples to more complex by building upon a project a little at a time.
The book bascially covers 3 broad areas: programming, networking, and cryptogrophy.
Programming covers buffer overflows, stack exploits, heap overflows, polymorphic code, inline loaders and other information. Examples are presented in C and assembly. Networking covers many different exploits generally centered around the modification of packets and/or spoofing. Cryptography generally covers password based attacks.
The author has a careful approach that makes the book enjoyable to read and easy to follow. He does not jump from one step to the next without covering each step in detail. This makes the text both readable and enjoyable.
