Features: The content of the book is closely centered around shellcode programming, systematically elaborating on the key knowledge points that a shellcoder should master. In addition to shellcode, the author also introduces new security-related fields such as mobile phones and BIOS. The first part of the book introduces basic concepts that should be mastered before writing shellcode, familiar software tools, and details on intrusions using GPRS. The second part begins with common stack and heap overflow issues, then covers SEH, format string vulnerabilities, and finally discusses how to exploit and utilize these vulnerabilities, using real-world examples. The third part focuses on writing shellcode, explaining how to create shellcode that adapts to multiple environments, primarily targeting Windows platforms with a brief introduction to Linux shellcode. Chapter 15 covers how to compile and decompile shellcode. The fourth part introduces network worms and viruses. The fifth part discusses firewalls, honeypots, and other protective systems, with a focus on how to bypass these protections. The sixth part covers other targets beyond common attack objectives, such as wireless networks, mobile phones, and BIOS. The book also includes numerous advanced techniques for writing attack code in C/iC.
