One of the best in this field
One of the best in this field. Are there any other books about browser exploitation? I've seen none. I got a lot from this book, I mean in practice. I didn't even need working samples, as someone complained below (and rank it with 1 star). The main thing about this book is that it gives the ideas of how to do it. It teaches fishing, not fishes for you. If you are an IT engineer you can easily repeat all that explained in this book. Thank you, Wade Alcorn!

Great reference. I will keep referring to this book constantly in my line of work.
This book had a ton more info than I expected. Some of it was a little too advanced for my current level of skills but that just means that I now know what I need to study more. I see this book as a reference to have close by at all times. This book covers more about browsers than I ever cared to know; I highly recommend this reading to anyone wanting to improve your browser exploit knowledge.

Not the best but ok
For a graduate level course - a lot of information but can become very complicated without a solid programming background

Outstanding
a must-read if you are an application security engineer (like myself... not a lot of us out there but we're here...) and esp. if you do web app sec which is what I focus on... invaluable resource. A great, highly informative and useful book. Great follow on to Web App Hacker's Handbook which is The Bible for Web App Sec folks... a must-read!

A great read for anyone interested in browser-based attacks (and defenses)
The Browser Hacker's Handbook is a great read for anyone looking to go beyond traditional web application security and really learn to do what the bad guys are doing; attacking the user. It's crammed with examples and code snippets from a wide variety of coding languages and browsers, but you don't really need to be an expert in any of them to get the core message. The authors, who are a brilliant bunch, are also the main force behind the Browser Exploitation Framework (BeEF), and open source tool for penetration testing with a focus on web browsers. Because of this, the book is also a great BeEF primer, something that really helps the reader understand the power of the different attacks.The Browser Hacker's Handbook is hands down the best book in the Hacker's Handbook series that I've read. It's a great complement to other books, and it gives the reader insights that I have not seen in any other book. I highly recommend it.
