Subject: Book of unreleased exploits?

To save folks the time and effort;

The Shellcoder's
   Handbook: Discovering and Exploiting Security Holes
   Jack Koziol, David Litchfield, Dave Aitel, Chris Anley, Sinan "noir"
   Eren, Neel Mehta, Riley Hassell
   ISBN: 0-7645-4468-3
   Paperback
   648 pages
   March 22, 2004

     * Examines where security holes come from, how to discover them, how
       hackers exploit them and take control of systems on a daily basis,
       and most importantly, how to close these security holes so they
       never occur again
     * A unique author team-a blend of industry and underground experts-
       explain the techniques that readers can use to uncover security
       holes in any software or operating system
     * Shows how to pinpoint vulnerabilities in popular operating systems
       (including Windows, Linux, and Solaris) and applications
       (including MS SQL Server and Oracle databases)
     * Details how to deal with discovered vulnerabilities, sharing some
       previously unpublished advanced exploits and techniques



This poseter did not look at the information on the shopping cart pages,
and his fiend did not understand the principles being taught in his class,
or was scammed.

Thanks,


Ron DuFresne

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
