Re: Shellcoder's Handbook, Second Edition

["Figueroa, Marco {PBSG}" <Marco.Figueroa () pepsi com>]

There was a pre-release at defcon of the Shellcoder's Handbook, I picked
up a copy and its pretty good. My favorite section of the book was Part
3 Vulnerability Discovery it is very well written. My advice is go and
pick up the book, today is the release date.

A book that I recommend is HACKING: The Art of Exploitation 2nd edition
the author Jon Erickson delivers a book like no other. The release date
for this book is scheduled for October but in reality this will get
published in March. But what's great is if you really want to read this
book like me you can email the owner of no starch he will email you a
draft of chapters that have been written by Jon. I recommend you to
request chapter 2 the programming part which is really good.

Subject: [Dailydave] Shellcoder's Handbook, Second Edition

I was just browsing around on Amazon, noticed the slightly different
cover, and realized that the release date for the Second Ediiton is
the 20th:

http://www.amazon.com/Shellcoders-Handbook-Discovering-Exploiting-Securi
ty/dp/047008023X/ref=pd_sim_b_4/002-9507551-2756861?ie=UTF8&qid=11875792
69&sr=1-3

Dave is no longer listed as an author (I hope your content's out of it
then!).  If anyone's had a look at this, I'd love to see some opinions
on how this compares to the first edition, which was good, but had
some serious errors, and was never supported on the Wiley site as was
promised.

The book features, straight from amazon:
"""
     *  This much-anticipated revision, written by the ultimate group
of top security experts in the world, features 40 percent new content
on how to find security holes in any operating system or application
    * New material addresses the many new exploitation techniques that
have been discovered since the first edition, including attacking
"unbreakable" software packages such as McAfee's Entercept, Mac OS X,
XP, Office 2003, and Vista
    * Also features the first-ever published information on exploiting
Cisco's IOS, with content that has never before been explored
    * The companion Web site features downloadable code files
