Hacking Linux Exposed

We love technical books that contain source code and examples. Thus we packed Hacking Linux Exposed with example configuration files, programs, scripts, vulnerability tests and exploits. However we find that all this code presents several problems:

It is not difficult to copy one or two line snippets of code from a book, however it's annoying and time consuming to enter code of any decent length. There's already enough carpel tunnel going around in this profession, so why make matters worse? We couldn't live with the guilt.
The longer the code is, the more likely you are to make a typo. There is an old saying: "A million monkeys at a million typewritters for a million years will eventually type the works of Shakespeare." We would counter that "A single monkey at a single typewriter will first type a Unix command." And when you're typing in pages of code, most likely that command will accidentally be "rm".
Should we make improvements in the code, we can only put them into new revisions of the book. We don't ever leave programs alone for long. We're constantly rewriting our own code, and equally often each other's code. Code is alive, and doesn't flourish on a static page.

Thus we provide all the code from Hacking Linux Exposed and Hacking Linux Exposed, Second Edition in easy-to-download fashion here on our web page. If you have suggestions, improvements, or find errors, please send email to bri@hackinglinuxexposed.com
