Book Description
Unlike other books on hacking, Code Hacking covers hacking issues using a variety of languages. Software explanations and code samples are provided in C#, C++, Java, and Perl, allowing developers to learn from a variety of perspectives. The companion CD-ROM contains a custom security scanner written in C#. This scanner is a combination of a port and vulnerability scanner that scans IP addresses, allows certain services to be "brute forced," and exploits well-known vulnerabilities. By knowing how to hack a system you’ll be better prepared to secure your own.
