“I LAY FLAT.” This book uses RepKover — a durable binding that won’t snap shut.
“Give a man an exploit and you make him a hacker for
a day; teach a man to exploit bugs and you make him a
hacker for a lifetime.” — Felix “FX” Lindner
Seemingly simple bugs can have
drastic consequences, allowing
attackers to compromise systems,
escalate local privileges, and
otherwise wreak havoc on a system.
A Bug Hunter’s Diary follows
security expert Tobias Klein as he
tracks down and exploits bugs in
some of the world’s most popular
software, like Apple’s iOS, the VLC
media player, web browsers, and
even the Mac OS X kernel. In this
one-of-a-kind account, you’ll see
how the developers responsible for
these flaws patched the bugs — or
failed to respond to them at all.
Along the way you’ll learn how to:
* Use field-tested techniques to
find bugs, like identifying and
tracing user input data and
reverse engineering
* Exploit vulnerabilities like
NULL pointer dereferences,
buffer overflows, and type
conversion flaws
* Develop proof-of-concept code
that verifies the security flaw
* Report bugs to vendors or third-
party brokers
A Bug Hunter’s Diary is packed with
real-world examples of vulnerable
code and the custom programs used
to find and test bugs. Whether you’re
hunting bugs for fun, for profit, or to
make the world a safer place, you’ll
learn valuable new skills by looking
over the shoulder of a professional
bug hunter in action.
