Description

Shellcoding is a technique that is executed by many red teams and used in penetration testing and real-world attacks. Books on shellcode can be complex, and writing shellcode is perceived as a kind of "dark art." Offensive Shellcode from Scratch will help you to build a strong foundation of shellcode knowledge and enable you to use it with Linux and Windows. This book helps you to explore simple to more complex examples of shellcode that are used by real advanced persistent threat (APT) groups. You'll get to grips with the components of shellcode and understand which tools are used when building shellcode, along with the automated tools that exist to create shellcode payloads. As you advance through the chapters, you'll become well versed in assembly language and its various components, such as registers, flags, and data types. This shellcode book also teaches you about the compilers and decoders that are used when creating shellcode. Finally, the book takes you through various attacks that entail the use of shellcode in both Windows and Linux environments. By the end of this shellcode book, you'll have gained the knowledge needed to understand the workings of shellcode and build your own exploits by using the concepts explored.

Who is this book for?

This book is for red teamers, penetration testers, and anyone looking to learn about shellcode and find out how it is used to break into systems by making use of simple to complex instructions of code in memory. Basic shellcode knowledge is helpful but not mandatory to understand the topics covered in this book.

For many years I had a knowledge that buffer overflows lead to serious security incidents and are a bad thing. But also I had no idea how sending a bad request can lead to overtaking of remote machine. Not any more. After lecture of "Offensive Shellcode from Scratch" I finally understand the mechanics and much more. Thanks to the author I also know about countermeasures existing in modern OS.Autor does not make assumptions about your knowledge and provides introduction to assembler coding - helpful after my last experience with assembler was during university time.Way the book is structured lets you just read it and get understanding of the shellcode (my case) but if you really want to get into shellcode hacking, it allows you to setup lab and spent quite a time doing hands-ons.I do recommend.

The book is a friendly beginner for people who want to get into shellcoding. It has a good starting kit with enough labs to build the depth needed, I enjoyed reading it and trying fun staff inside itThe first 3 modules give you the needed knowledge for shellcoding; the module describes the shellcode. What I liked most are the practical examples with some codes that can simulate real shellcode outcomeThe 2nd part covers different OS , mainly WIndows and Linux with practical techniques with examples for x86 shellcode and another for x64 shellcode then you move to memory security techniques that completes the picture I do recommend this book for those who want to get started with shellcoding. It would be super helpful.

I've done prior work with shellcode and am relatively well versed in the area. I bought the book since it seemed interesting. The book does a good job at laying out foundational elements of writing shellcode. It isn't a definitive guide but yet again a definitive guide would be a stack of multiple books including architecture, compiler theory, intel instruction set architecture, and exploit writing books.This book does provide enough to get someone started and it does a great job. I wish i had it when I was first learning.

The beginning of the book is a little slow if you already have pre-existing knowledge of shellcode and assembly language but that being said it walks the reader through the basics of shellcode and assembly language which allows the reader to understand the more complicated topics later on in the book. The author then dives into actually creating your shellcode and I highly recommend following along and writing your assembly shellcode as you'll absorb much more. Finally, the author wraps up talking about bypasses for both Linux and Windows machines. Overall it was a great book and was very informative. I highly recommend picking it up if you want to learn more about modern shellcode.
