I got this book, and I just started learning Python.<br /><br />The problem is, I don't know whether I should learn 3.0 or 2.6? <br /><br />As the Book is using 2.5, but according the review it works for 2.4?<br /><br />I am really confused...<br />Also is there any forum where I can learn the basics of Python for hacking?<br /><br />Thanks for your review.firesofmayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02198451649692833106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539880144347728238.post-59013939119771186972010-07-05T13:10:28.942-04:002010-07-05T13:10:28.942-04:00jbmoore points out something very important here, ...jbmoore points out something very important here, the code in this book is broken, and incomplete in some places, for a novice this could leave them stranded with no hope.<br />unless they find this site and read jbmoores comment.<br /><br />apart from that, farily major problem, the book is excellent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539880144347728238.post-37060457577600618282010-07-05T13:08:44.592-04:002010-07-05T13:08:44.592-04:00jbmoore points out a very important bit of informa...jbmoore points out a very important bit of information, code is broken in this book, and it is not corrected on the companion website nor even mentioned, so if you are not proficient at coding, you may find yourself lost with nowhere to go!<br /><br />apart from that, so far the book is excellent, perhaps the code is purposefully broken to promote self learning....doubtfullAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539880144347728238.post-85448817071581796412010-05-09T14:01:40.204-04:002010-05-09T14:01:40.204-04:00yea I am also looking forward to this book if they...yea I am also looking forward to this book if they make a Second Edition and add in some linux related stuff... but the windows stuff was good and very useful for understanding debugging processes at a programmatic level... <br />Hopefully a second edition fixes some of the setup and code error issues though....

Some of the code depends upon the installation of PyDbg. The IDAPro plugins need IDAPro version 5. You can use the demo, but it only last for 30 days and IDAPro Freeware is version 4.0. You could have mentioned these issues. Contrast this book with Jon Erickson's book called Hacking: The Art of Exploitation (http://www.amazon.com/Hacking-Art-Exploitation-Jon-Erickson/dp/1593271441/ref=dp_ob_title_bk) where a LiveCD is included and ALL of the code works.jbmoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09751110750712243573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539880144347728238.post-58735694161611555032010-01-07T01:53:37.375-05:002010-01-07T01:53:37.375-05:00Please support this piece of literature,
