Gray Hat C#: A Hacker's Guide to Creating and Automating Security Tools 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

This is another quality book from No Starch Press. The seller took great care in ensuring the books condition and quality. As far as the knowledge contained in this text, invaluable. Up to date, informative, POWERFUL.

The author did a great job specially on the chapter which describe the fundamentals of the language.He did a great job.

This review is long overdue, sorry Brandon! Perry's 'Gray Hat C#' is a fantastic book for anyone looking to dive into the C# programming language to have yet another tool in their arsenal of programming languages. While this is in no way a 'complete' look into the C# programming language, this book does a good job guiding the reader through developing useful tools and programs that can help anyone wanting to automate some of their technical job duties. Even better, is the fact the scripts work on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows (as far as I have been able to tell while going through the book). If you've been looking for a book to get you into C# and you want to use the examples in your day to day, then this is the book for you. What I like most about the book is that it doesn't give the reader 'everything' for each script, often relying on the reader to do some self study with other resources. For example, I found it enjoyable when the scripts didn't work right away due to the book text leaving out details about additional libraries that each script needed to import so that the namespaces and some of the methods worked properly. This forces the reader to ask questions, and search for the answers elsewhere, which aids the reader's journey when learning a super condensed version of this robust programming language.My only comment about the intro is that I was left wanting so much more than what was presented. I found myself doing the most external research while reading the introductory chapter and wanted more details and explanations added about certain topics. C# is a very robust language, I'm learning, and maybe having two (2) introductory chapters would have helped ease the reader into the later chapters more fluidly. This is not a deal breaker for me personally, and really is just my comparison of this book's introductory chapter to others I have read on the topic of C# programming.Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this book to those wanting to learn C#. This makes a nice reference book in one's library of other C# books too. Mr. Perry and NoStarch press did a fantastic job with this book. Gray Hat C#: Creating and Automating Security Tools

Great introduction into C#. Goes through building offensive/defensive security tools from the ground up.

I've never bothered with C#, previously; you know, because it is Windows... ;) But, after working through Brandon's other book, Wicked Cool Shell Scripts (link below), I definitely wanted to check this book out. I was lucky and won my signed (see image attached) copy at a local meetup. I'm definitely glad I got the chance to read it. Brandon shows off his amazing knowledge of C#, automation, and his hacker mentality, throughout though the book. It ranges from an entry level crash course on how C# works, through the automation of numerous hacking & penetration testing tools. It does not matter if you are a n00b or a 1337; if you have an interested in hacking, automation, or C#, this book is for you. Definitely one of my favorite books in my collection.https://www.amazon.com/Wicked-Cool-Shell-Scripts-Systems/dp/1593276028/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500130975&sr=8-1&keywords=wicked+cool+shell+scripts

This is an excellent intro in how to use C# in automating many functions within the InfoSec arena. In typical NoStarch fashion, this book delivers for folks of all levels.Being a seasoned programmer in many languages (just not C#) I took this as a opportunity to pickup a new language and I find myself leveraging this book to help with syntax. I work daily with several of the tools and concepts in this book and the ability to interact with them using multiple languages can be very useful.There has been a lot of research around leveraging C# for post exploitation and "living off the land" while those are directly introduced in the book, there is for sure more than enough information for the reader to take the forward as a follow up.NoStarch and especially Brandon Perry deliver another great book for the world of Information Security.

The instructions to get a Mac working with C#, plus a few Google searches were all that I needed to get launched. High quality book like all of the No Starch. The key point though was the focus on RESTFul services. The book came along at a time when I was struggling with a B2B problem and while C# would not have been my first choice, I was able to use example code and explanations to complete my task. I have a limited bookshelf right at my work area and this book is on that shelf, not the library in the other room.

This book has been an excellent introduction to C#. The ability to develop security tools that are truly cross platform has already been a game changer for me.

Excelente libros para quienes buscan auditar sus sistemas y protegerlos y hacer sus herramientas basadas en c# y aplicarlas en para automatizarlas.

Interesting book, a lot of practical examples.

Great book does is says on the tin

Fantastic book, I'm enjoying the demos and exercises, perfect for people that want to automate security tasks with C#. keep up the great work.

Perfect book. Fast Shipping, Good price.
