One of the newst Hacking Books that published in 2008

Filed under: Books — mafiaundergr0und @ 9:58 pm

Today, as always I saw new books,

1 – 2 years ago I was looked for a useful book with name “Gray Hat Hacking, The ethical Hackers handbook ” but I can’t find it in electronic version. so I decided refer to another books and ignore it ,

but today I saw that the electronic version of this book was published and there’s some download link :)

then, I decided to introduce this book in my own blog and give a great link for downloading this useful hacking resource :

 

here’s you can see topics that teach you during this book and a brief description of the book :

Prevent catastrophic network attacks by exposing security flaws, fixing them, and ethically reporting them to the software author. Fully expanded to cover the hacker’s latest devious methods, Gray Hat Hacking: The Ethical Hacker’s Handbook, Second Edition lays out each exploit alongside line-by-line code samples, detailed countermeasures, and moral disclosure procedures. Find out how to execute effective penetration tests, use fuzzers and sniffers, perform reverse engineering, and find security holes in Windows and Linux applications. You’ll also learn how to trap and autopsy stealth worms, viruses, rootkits, adware, and malware.

* Implement vulnerability testing, discovery, and reporting procedures that comply with applicable laws
* Learn the basics of programming, stack operations, buffer overflow and heap vulnerabilities, and exploit development
* Test and exploit systems using Metasploit and other tools
* Break in to Windows and Linux systems with perl scripts, Python scripts, and customized C programs
* Analyze source code using ITS4, RATS, FlawFinder, PREfast, Splint, and decompilers
* Understand the role of IDA Pro scripts, FLAIR tools, and third-party plug-ins in discovering software vulnerabilities
* Reverse-engineer software using decompiling, profiling, memory monitoring, and data flow analysis tools
* Reveal client-side web browser vulnerabilities with MangleMe, AxEnum, and AxMan
* Probe Windows Access Controls to discover insecure access tokens, security descriptors, DACLs, and ACEs
* Find and examine malware and rootkits using honeypots, honeynets, and Norman SandBox technology

ok here you can download this book . :)

“Sys-Development” a great treasure !

Filed under: Developmet — mafiaundergr0und @ 10:21 pm

recently, topics that I have focused on them are related to sys-dev ( system development )

in my opinion system programming is very essentional when you want to work on secure development and also want to design secure frameworks that can make your system secure like antivirus products( Kaspersky – Nod32 – Panda – BitDefender – McAfee and … ) .

one thing that is very obvious to me, sys-dev is hard and need to very time but if you learn it, it like a treasure and very invaluable .

people who was interested in programming and development applications ( not web-based ) I recommend them to learn it .

major books that was written for teaching/guiding readers to sys-dev have a problem and it is : there aren’t enough source code examples for understanding and learning sys-dev as well , regardless to theorical viewpoint they are great .

things are important for sys-development and you can name them “essencial” is low level realization, you must have a complete knowledge of assembly programming and low level matters as well, but if you haven’t them there isn’t any impossible but you may have hard problems with codes that you will see and will want to understand them .

anyway, sys-dev is very great stuff, I recommend everybody to learn it.

your skills for sys-dev will be complete with C/C++ language knowledge .

any suggestion !? leave it now .

alreading working on python language

Filed under: Developmet — mafiaundergr0und @ 1:03 am

well, now I’m already working on Python as well ,

for learning this good language you can find it’s books at amazon and then buy/download them .

I’m using a great book with name “Core python programming” .

it’s great for folks who want to start programming python without any fundamentally knowledge about this language .

this is high recommended that if you are a developer, read and learn this great open-source language.

it can be helpful :)

have nice times,

any idea ? ;)

Python !?

Filed under: Uncategorized — mafiaundergr0und @ 10:00 am

currently I’m working on system programming with C/C++ .

I decided to work on python language, it’s useful for folks who want to active and work on reverse engineering stuff .

you maybe tell yourself what’s wrong with perl & ruby ? why python .

I had looked at google and other resource/reference about this question and I’d ask this question from one of my friend who is security expert and work on iDefense Labs .

and he told me python is a perfect language and if you can work on it , it can help you and very useful .

now I’m tired and I want to go on bed for rest , and then I must be go to google and find python compiler and print the first chapter of it’s book .

what’s your syggestion about python ?
