Amazing book put together by the experts

Just finished reading the book - "Android Hackers Handbook". Truth be told, you can't find any other book which covers Android security and exploitation in such a detailed approach like this one.After reading through each chapter, you'll feel like you've gained a huge knowledge base, which you could immediately apply in real-life scenario. I personally liked 4 chapters out of the total 13 the most - Debugging and Analysing Vulnerabilities (Chap7), User Space (Chap 8) Exploitation, ROP(Chap9) and Attacking RIL (Chap 11) .Almost all of the concepts are explained along with the real code sample, which will help you when you try it out on your device. A perfect 5 for this book coming from the experts in Android Security.

Good for history buffs

Out of date now but that's to be expected in this game of ours. Still a good intro into vulns and a good history for the purpose of perspective. Too bad new vulns are few and far between...ah the good old days of Android. So much fun and unprotected (spoken from the root desired perspective, not black hax). (:

Book that focuses on a single platform with deserved depth

I have not finished the book and honestly I am not even close, but I wanted to give a review anyway because the technical depth of the book is amazing. This is not like some of the other books which provides content from web and other sources. This is original material and serious read. I am hoping to extend this review when I make progress to completion.

Book Assume's The Reader is An Engineer, Couldn't Finish Because Necessary Background Was Not Mentioned in Book Description

Haven't finished it yet, but the book does assume that the reader is an expert in many other computer science fields. One may say "well, duh," but even in the first chapter it appears that the author assumes one is an engineer.

Excellent Book!

After reading the first chapter, you get a clear understanding of Android's origins and how the whole ecosystem works. The authors do an incredible job explaining things from start to finish. Chapter 3 on rooting devices also looks full of goodies. Great for plane and leisure reading, as well as to learn the fundamentals of Android security. Recommended for sure!

For a software/electrical engineer who is new to Android, ...

For a software/electrical engineer who is new to Android, this book seems just right. It don't insult your intelligence by defining well known concepts. It gives precise information on the least understood subjects, or the subjects that are voluntarily kept in the dark.

In shot a mess, i will think twice before buying any thing from any of the authors again.

The book is well organized, sadly missing alot of details.The first chapters are not well structured, with a lot of missing details, hardly reproducible, the enviroment setup is not explaind correctly.Some chapters have only 2 pages, crear lack of information an will to write decent chapter.The only thing decent in the intire book is a single vuln. Explained in resonable detail.In shot a mess, i will think twice before buying any thing from any of the authors again.

Well written and easy to follow

This book is an expansive guide to Android's security architecture. It is easy-to-follow and well-written, not riddled with typos and poorly laid out like many computer science textbooks. It can be a bit wordy and very technical. This is not a book for people new to Android, you should have some experience with Java and C if you want to fully appreciate this book.
