It’s this ability to help you perform accurate risk assessment that makes
Hacking Exposed Windows
valuable.
There are few places where you can get a one-stop look at the security landscape in which Windows lives.
Joel and his fellow contributors have done an outstanding job of documenting the latest advances in
threats, including buffer overflows, rootkits, and cross-site scripting, as well as defensive technologies
such as no-execute, Vista’s UAC, and address space layout randomization. If understanding Windows
security is anywhere in your job description, I highly recommend reading this book from back to front and
keeping it as a reference for your ongoing battle.

“The
Hacking Exposed
authors and contributors have once again taken their unique experiences and framed
a must-read for the security professional and technology adventurist alike. Start to finish,
Hacking Exposed
Windows, Third Edition
eliminates the ambiguity by outlining the tools and techniques of the modern cyber
miscreant, arming the reader by eliminating the mystery. The authors continue to deliver the “secret sauce”
in the recipe for cyber security, and remain the Rachael Rays of infosec.”

The security threat landscape has undergone revolutionary change since the first edition of
Hacking Exposed.
The technology available to exploit systems has evolved considerably and become infinitely more available,
intensifying the risk of compromise in this increasingly online world.
Hacking Exposed Windows
has
remained
the
authority on the subject by providing the knowledge and practical guidance Windows system
administrators and security professionals need to be well equipped now and for the journey ahead.

“The friendly veneer of Microsoft Windows covers millions of lines of code compiled into a complex
system, often responsible for delivering vital services to its customer. Despite the best intentions of its
creators,
all versions
of Windows will continue to be vulnerable to attacks at the application layer, at the
kernel, from across the network—and everywhere else in between. Joel Scambray and his fellow contributors
provide a comprehensive catalogue of the threats and countermeasures for Windows in an immensely
readable guide. If Windows is the computing vehicle you must secure,
Hacking Exposed Windows
is your
driver’s license.”

“Computer security is changing with Windows Vista, and hackers are having to learn new methods of
attack. Fortunately, you have their playbook.”

this book alongside his/her PC.”
