Description
The SANS Institute maintains a list of the "Top 10 Software Vulnerabilities." At the current time, over half of these vulnerabilities
are exploitable by Buffer Overflow attacks, making this class of attack one of the most common and most dangerous weapon used by malicious
attackers. This is the first book specifically aimed at detecting, exploiting, and preventing the most common and dangerous attacks.
Buffer overflows make up one of the largest collections of vulnerabilities in existence; And a large percentage of possible remote exploits
are of the overflow variety. Almost all of the most devastating computer attacks to hit the Internet in recent years including SQL Slammer,
Blaster, and I Love You attacks. If executed properly, an overflow vulnerability will allow an attacker to run arbitrary code on the
victim's machine with the equivalent rights of whichever process was overflowed. This is often used to provide a remote shell onto the
victim machine, which can be used for further exploitation.
A buffer overflow is an unexpected behavior that exists in certain programming
languages. This book provides specific, real code examples on exploiting buffer overflow attacks from a hacker's perspective and defending
against these attacks for the software developer.
Audience
Software Developers, Security Specialists, Network Administrators and anyone concerned with hacking and computer security.
