{"product_id":"heavy-wizardry-101-david-martnez-oliveira-9781718504424","title":"Heavy Wizardry 101","description":"Your spellbook for code close to the metal.\nIn hacker circles, heavy wizardry means code that trades on intimate knowledge of a system—the kind that speaks its private dialects and bends its rules. Heavy Wizardry 101 teaches you to write it. You’ll build shellcode, backdoors, droppers, and worms from scratch, working at the instruction level where magic happens.\nEvery project is implemented for four architectures: x86_64, ARM, MIPS, and RISC-V. You’ll write the same program four times, seeing exactly what stays constant and what changes. Each chapter starts with architecture fundamentals, such as memory layout, calling conventions, and stack mechanics, then walks through complete working implementations on Linux in safe, contained environments.\nLearn to:\nWrite position-independent shellcode and programs that execute in constrained memory spaces\nImplement TCP reverse shells that bypass basic network restrictions\nBuild executable droppers that embed and deploy payloads without detection\nCreate self-replicating worms that propagate across networked systems\nWrite basic port scanners to discover services in a network\nPort low-level code between architectures by understanding instruction-level differences\nWhether you’re a penetration tester who wants to stop depending on Metasploit, a security researcher analyzing malware, or a systems programmer who needs to understand how computers work, this book gives you the skills to build and reason about code at the lowest level.","brand":"No Starch Press,US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51894289596704,"sku":"9781718504424","price":45.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781718504424_2812935.jpg?v=1782020935","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/heavy-wizardry-101-david-martnez-oliveira-9781718504424","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
