 Very good, explaing the basic, but... (read my review)Oct 21, 2011
By Jean D'Elboux Diogo - Brazil
Basically this book is very good. It goes through the basic to some advanced techniques. The author tried to cover a lot of Operating Systems, from x86 (Windows and Linux) to Mac, Sparks and Cisco, so you should be aware whether this is your focus or not, if not you will take advantage of a few chapters of the book. In my case, I was interested just in x86 shellcode programming, so I should paid half of the price (just kidding). Also, it does not explain advanced techniques (such as code obfuscation, self-modification, etc), but it's very good for intermediate coders. Recommended.

Good, but not idealOct 11, 2011
By W. Smartt
This book serves as a good introduction to shell coding. The first 6 chapters on linux are reasonably complete; if you read the material and take the time to learn the concepts you will be happy with your progress. However, as the book dives into other operating systems I feel that some of this completeness and solidarity are vanishing. As I get deeper and deeper into the text, there are more and more words and concepts which are prerequisite yet the authors never explained. It feels like they were very comprehensive and diligent in the first chapters, but got lazy and impatient as it progressed.

 Kindle version contains truncation errorsMay 01, 2012
By Eric
This review is about the Kindle formatting of the book, not the actual book content.
The code samples are truncated when reading on the Kindle. Several characters are missing from longer lines.
Rotating the screen helps for some lines and makes others worse.

 The best out there, but not so different from the first editionMay 28, 2008
By Mario Vilas
Loved it, I think this is the best book on shellcode out there. The only downside is, there isn't so much new content compared to the first edition. Other than that, this book is definitely a must if you're after low-level knowledge on computer security.
