Hacking and Security / Re: Couldn't decide which distro should I use
« on: June 25, 2014, 05:11:29 am »
Thank you all of you for your replies. I guess I will use the disc given.  :)

But will it be hard to adapt if I am able to start to code exploits in future? Should I be using an updated gcc and distro by that time (adapt to it) or stick with the current disc?

Hacking and Security / Couldn't decide which distro should I use

I started to study the book "Hacking: The Art of Exploitation 2nd edition" days ago and I noticed something different when I followed the examples. The output after disassembling main in the .out file in my debian 7.5 distro is different from the result shown in the book. After googling, some commented that it is due to different version of gcc compile. I am wondering if I should use the live cd given or stick with debian 7.5.

Thank you very much. Even the content of the book wrote about this method is through ACK and named it ACK flooding attack.
I guess my distrust to books increases. I think I should go online and check whenever I read something new to me through book as I won't know if it is correct.

The link that you have sent to me is what I know. However, the thing I am confused with is  the book mentioned about server waiting for the packet in the final sequence to start the connection but the picture showed that the attack spammed ACK packets to the server. What is the last packet the book meant to open a session? Isn't it ACK packet? Unless the final packet is the one carrying an actual payload (specifically, the client's HTTP request). Sorry for my lag of knowledge as books and website doesn't 100% teaches/mention everything.

Hello. I was reading a Security+ book when I came across this. What I know about TCP SYN flood is different from the information given in this book. I googled for answers and most of the results were the same as what I know. Could this book be wrong? The title of this book is "CompTIA Security+, Study Guide, Third Edition, Exam SYO-101".

(Sorry that I didn't upload the picture here as I do not why the picture appeared too big.)
