Excellent book for the beginners--> A lot of computer-security textbooks approach the subject from a defensive point of view. "Do this, and probably you'll survive a particular kind of attack," they say. In refreshing contrast, Hacking Exposed, Second Edition talks about security from an offensive angle... This book tell you about Security vulnerabilities of operating systems, applications, and network devices, Administrative procedures that will help defeat them, Techniques for hacking Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Novell NetWare, and Unix, Strategies for breaking into (or bringing down) telephony devices, routers, and firewalls..

Book Description:
When a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, it certainly makes a sound. But if a computer network has a security vulnerability and no one knows about it, is it insecure? Only the most extreme Berkeleian idealist might argue against the former, but the latter is not nearly so obvious.

A network with a security vulnerability is insecure to those who know about the vulnerability.If noone knows about it—if it is literally a vulnerability that has not been discovered—then the network is secure. If one person knows about it, then the network is insecure to him but secure to everyone else. If the network equipment manufacturer knows about it...if security researchers know about it...if the hacking community knows about it the insecurity of the network increasesas news of the vulnerability gets out.

Excellent Learning Tool ~ This book is a great tool for someone who wants to know more about electricity and electronics, but doesn't have access to a course and doesn't have tons to spend on a huge textbook. This book will be most useful to you if you have some familiarity with how physics works, but even if you don't this book should work as a starting point. On the other hand, knowledge of electronics you expect that this book will delver into specialized topics. This book will prepare you with the same knowledge you should expect from a first real course on electronics. It is complete with chapter quizes and a final exam.

Editorial Reviews :
This self-teaching guide covers electricity and electronics theory in enough detail (the introductory chapters on basic electricity and magnetism are excellent) to be useful to both beginning hobbyists and more advanced students. Readers can test their mastery of the material with the chapter quizzes and a final exam; the answers are in the appendix. A terrific resource for all libraries.

Library Journal : This self-teaching guide covers electricity and electronics theory in enough detail to be of use to readers from the beginning hobbyist to the university electronics student (or professor). With quizzes and exams throughout the book and answers in Appendix A, readers can test their mastery of the material. The first few chapters of the book provide excellent coverage of basic electricity and magnetism as a basis for electrical and electronic theory. An excellent resource for all libraries.

Book Description:
While you’re reading this, a hacker could be prying and spying his way into your company’s IT systems, sabotaging your operations, stealing confidential information, shutting down your Web site, or wreaking havoc in other diabolical ways. Hackers For Dummies helps you hack into a hacker’s mindset and take security precautions to help you avoid a hack attack. It outlines computer hacker tricks and techniques you can use to assess the security of your own information systems, find security vulnerabilities, and fix them before malicious and criminal hackers can exploit them. It covers:
Hacking methodology and researching public information to see what a hacker can quickly learn about your operations
Social engineering (how hackers manipulate employees to gain information and access), physical security, and password vulnerabilities
Network infrastructure, including port scanners, SNMP scanning, banner grabbing, scanning, and wireless LAN vulnerabilities
Operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Novell NetWare
Application hacking, including malware (Trojan horses, viruses, worms, rootkits, logic bombs, and more), e-mail and instant messaging, and Web applications
Tests, tools (commercial, shareware, and freeware), and techniques that offer the most bang for your ethical hacking buck

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.
