The post discusses the 'Black Hat Rust' book, which is part of a series focused on using various programming languages for exploit development and cybersecurity operations. Users express mixed opinions, noting that while the book might provide valuable insights into using Rust for black-hat activities, it lacks practical examples and is perceived more as a promotional material than an educational resource. Some users question the choice of Rust for exploit development compared to languages like Go and Python, citing its strict type system and challenges in crafting exploits without contradicting Rust's principles. There is a call for greater transparency in the book's content, including sample chapters. Overall, the commentary reflects skepticism about the practicality of using Rust for black-hat hacking, while acknowledging the historical context of similar works.
