What’s the worst an attacker can do to you? You’d better find out, right? That’s what Security Warrior teaches you. Based on the principle that the only way to defend yourself is to understand your attacker in depth, Security Warrior reveals how your systems can be attacked. Covering everything from reverse engineering to SQL attacks, and including topics like social engineering, antiforensics, and common attacks against UNIX and Windows systems, this book teaches you to know your enemy and how to be prepared to do battle.

This book offers unique methods for honing your information security (infosec) technique. The typical reader is an intermediate- to advanced-level practitioner. But who among us is typical? Each of us approaches infosec with distinctive training and skill. Still, before you spend your hard-earned money on this book, we will try to describe the target reader.

As an example, you might enjoy this book if you already have experience with networking and are able to program in one or more languages. Although your interest in infosec might be new, you have already read at least a few technical books on the subject, such as Practical UNIX & Internet Security from O’Reilly. You found those books to be informative, and you would like to read more of the same, but hopefully covering newer topics and at a more advanced level. Rather than an introductory survey of security from the defensive side, you would like to see through an attacker’s eyes.

You are already familiar with basic network attacks such as sniffing, spoofing, and denial-of-service. You read security articles and vulnerability mailing lists online, and you know this is the best way to broaden your education. However, you now want a single volume that can quickly ratchet your knowledge level upward by a few notches.
