Introduction
This is a book about hacking. It’s not a novel about a set of elusive
cyberpunks, it’s a do-it-yourself manual. Are we trying to tell you how
to break into other people’s systems? No, we’re trying to help you
make your own systems more secure by breaking into them yourself.
Yes, this has the side effect that you might learn how to break into
someone else’s system as well, and therein lies much of the controversy surrounding hacking.

Who Should Read This Book?
You should read this book if you work in the information security
field, or have an interest in that field. You should have a pretty good
idea of how to use a computer, and ideally have some experience
installing an operating system, and various application programs. You
should be an Internet user. The material is aimed at mid to advanced
level, but we do our best to provide some of the basics for beginners. If
you’re a beginning information security student, you may struggle a
bit with some of the material, but it is all understandable if you spend
the effort. There are some beginner techniques taught, such as diffing,
which will serve the learner through all levels of skill.

Organization
This book is organized into roughly four parts:
■ Theory and Ideals
■ Local Attacks
■ Remote Attacks
■ Reporting

Part One, Theory and Ideals, covers Chapters 1 through 4, and includes
things like politics, classifications, and methodology.
Part Two, Local Attacks, covers Chapters 5 through 8, and includes information on how to attack systems under your direct control. Techniques
include diffing, decrypting, unexpected input, and buffer overflows. The latter
two include techniques that can be used remotely as well, but we examine
them in the context of being able to see the results because the system is
under our control.
Part Three, Remote Attacks, covers Chapters 9 through 14, and deals with
attacks that would most commonly be executed against a separate system
from the one you’re sitting in front of. This includes things like traffic monitoring, hijacking, spoofing, server holes, client holes, and trojans and viruses.
