You will learn how it is manipulated to take control of a computer system, as well as the countermeasures that system designers set up to avoid this. Neither a guide for hackers nor an all-out theory book, this book is ideal for anyone studying computer security who wants to learn by doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing a practical approach, you will understand how stack frames relate to hardware and software theory and the various GNU\/Linux distributions, before moving on to Base 2, 8 and 16 notations, executables and libraries. Lastly you will go in-depth to understand the intricacies of stack frames.
