About the Book
Linux Exploitation 101: Stop Searching for Vulnerabilities. Start Creating Them.
Stop reading about hacks. Start building them.
Have you ever wondered how a simple oversight in a few lines of C code can lead to a full system compromise? Most beginners get lost in dense academic theory, never actually seeing a shell pop on their own screen. Linux Exploitation 101 changes that.
This isn’t just another theory book—it’s a hands-on lab manual designed to take you from "What is a buffer?" to executing your first custom shellcode. Written specifically for beginners, this guide breaks down binary exploitation into digestible, step-by-step instructions that anyone with basic Linux command-line knowledge can follow.

Whether you're an aspiring penetration tester, a student of computer science, or a curious hobbyist, Linux Exploitation 101 provides the technical foundation you need to understand the attacker’s mindset.

About the Author
Eddie has been programming computers for the last 25 years, driven by a lifelong fascination with how they work. He wrote his first program in Pascal in 1999, later teaching himself C to get closer to the metal. His first contact with assembly language began while studying computer viruses—and writing a few of his own. Today, his current focus is on Linux binary exploitation.
