Overview

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.

• Over half of the "SANS TOP 10 Software Vulnerabilities" are related to buffer overflows.

• None of the current-best selling software security books focus exclusively on buffer overflows.

• 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.

    practical advice

    Typically, a text on computing might give a cursory few pages (if even that!) on explaining what buffer overflow attacks are. This book takes a far more detailed look. It emphasises the writing of assembler. Which may put you, the interested reader, in a minority amongst programmers. Most of whom never write assembler. The book teaches the writing and testing of shellcode. Very hands on. You learn to go back and forth between C source and its assembler equivalent, and how to use these when trying to induce stack overflows or attacking format strings, for example. Gritty and practical exposure. Analogous to working on a car engine. You have to get your hands dirty. Most of the book's examples cover the Intel assembly language and the Microsoft operating systems. The book explains that this is certainly not because these are inherently riskier than alternatives. But a pragmatic reflection of Microsoft's and Intel's market dominance, which attracts attackers. For balance, examples are also shown of attacks against linux and HPUX.
