The Oracle Hacker’s Handbook Published

January 31st, 2007

NGSSoftware’s David Litchfield has authored The Oracle Hacker’s Handbook (ISBN 0-4700-8022-1), published by Wiley, it’s the essential guide to hacking Oracle - written by the world leading Oracle database security expert himself.

Like The Shellcoder’s Handbook and The Database Hacker’s Handbook, this in-depth guide explores every technique and tool used by black hat hackers to invade and compromise Oracle. It shows you how to find the weak spots and defend them. Without that knowledge, you have little chance of keeping your databases truly secure.

“This is the most effective public analysis of security vulnerabilities in Oracle products so far,…I would recommend those involved in Oracle security to read this book as soon as they can.” - Amazon Review (Read the full review)
