Hacking The Art of Exploitation, 2^nd Edition – My Views

The intent of the book is to teach you the real intent of hacking. The book discusses various hacking techniques. The best part of the book apart from the paper content is that we get a live bootable CD containing all the source code used within the book and is preconfigured with the Linux Environment. This book will give you a hands on understanding and appreciation that may inspire you to improve upon your existing technique and work harder to become an ethical hacker.

      The book is written in such a manner that it can be understood by everyone and it        talks from the basics and makes the reader feel that environment while reading it.        However you must have a thorough reading in the programming chapter because          the level of difficulty takes a height of very much difficulty.
