This book is for both technical and non-technical people interested in computer security. Unlike many so-called hacking books, this explains technical aspects of hacking such as stack based overflows, heap based overflows, string exploits, return-into-libc, shellcode, and cryptographic attacks on 802.11b. If you're serious about hacking, this book is for you.
