内容简介
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.
