This book is a perfect introductory in software security for three reasons. One is the fact that it gives an amazing hands-on experience. You learn some basic staff … then you learn some complex techniques based on the fundamentals and finally you are “breaking” things. The second reason that this book is unique is that it extensively uses GDB in order to resolve any questions of the reader. The third and the most important reason is that this book does not try to make you a novice hacker. It tries to give you all the prerequisites in order to build a solid security background. There are many books and sources out there that only care about the result (the actual hacking) and not about the acquired knowledge.
So if you want to get your hands dirty, this is the book for you.
Enjoy!!! 🙂
