Most red team books tell you WHAT to do. This one shows you HOW to actually do it.

Red Team Engineering breaks the "theory only" curse – from someone who's actually been there.

DEF CON attendees know the difference between talks and walks. This book walks.
A book cover titled "Red Team Engineering: The Art of Building Offensive Tools and Infrastructure" by Casey Erdmann. The background is a textured red, and the title text is large and white. In the top right corner, "2nd Edition" is printed diagonally. A white rectangular sticker with a torn edge near the bottom right says "UNCORRECTED PROOF" in black text. A small circular logo reading No Starch Press is at the bottom center.

Ever wonder what's actually being sold in those dark web marketplaces?

Reversing the Dark Web takes you inside the underground economy – real ads, real malware samples, real reverse engineering.

Exclusive DEF CON edition. Know your enemy.
A book cover titled "Reversing the Dark Web: Dissecting the Tools of the Underground Economy" by Lindsay Kaye. The background is dark grey with faint, lighter grey text at the top that appears to be code or a message, including phrases like "DEF CON EDITION," "onion.org/showthread.php?id," "04-19-2025, 11:41 PM LE need not apply," "FOR SALE: Ransomware - contact for detail," and "Stealer, Crypters, Botnets - for Rent MaaS offer - 24/7 Support." A white box with a black border in the bottom left corner reads "UNCORRECTED PROOF." In the bottom right corner is the No Starch Press logo.

Red team vs blue team is so 2019.

Our DEF CON special edition of Practical Purple Teaming by @ajpc500.bsky.social shows you how to build collaborative security that actually works. Real threats, real defenses, real results.

Coming to Vegas with the good stuff. 👀
A book cover titled "Practical Purple Teaming: The Art of Collaborative Defense" by Alfie Champion. The cover features two knights in full armor facing each other on a purple background. The knight on the left is in orange and grey armor, wielding a flaming orange sword. The knight on the right is in blue and grey armor with a blue cape, wielding a glowing blue sword. Both knights are in a dynamic stance as if about to clash. In the top right corner, a red banner reads "DEF CON EDITION". Below that, a white rectangle with a torn edge states "UNCORRECTED PROOF". The bottom right corner shows the No Starch Press logo.
