Uses a practical approach to clarify complex subjectsSuitable for anyone with a basic knowledge of computer systemsIdeally suited to use as a textbook for college courses

Teaches you exactly how program memory content and organization is vital for computer security, especially Unix-like operating systems. 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. Using 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. A vital resource for all computer security students and enthusiasts, add Stack Frames: A Look Inside to your library today. What You Will Learn In-depth knowledge on activation records offunctions, and how this information can be used. A better understanding on how conventions used by compilers work. Clarify some concepts on libraries and their relationship with executable programs. Get, or recall, technical skills using compilers, debuggers, and other tools. Who This Book Is For The book is suitable for college students with a good knowledge of the C language, who are interested in deepening their study of the content and organization of program memory, namely the activation records of functions, as regards possible implications in computer security. A basic knowledge of both the Assembly language and the UNIX operating system is certainly helpful, as well as some practice with compilers and debuggers; but they are not compulsory.

Giuseppe Di Cataldo is a software programmer from Catania, Italy. After having studied civil engineering at Catania University, he worked as a civil engineer for many years, then as a programmer, writing software for engineers. This led him to learn programming languages (notably Fortran, Pascal, C, Assembly) as well as to work on both Unix workstations and common PCs equipped with GNU/Linux OSs.
