[عَبدُالكَرِيمْ]

Forget the classic stack overflows, this is definitely not a book for beginners. It covers very advanced topics including kernel exploits.

i escaped ch 10 page 250 till ch 14 page 402 , because it's was out of my study scope
since im taking the course online by Sam Bowne
i was so excited while reading ch14 Protection Mechanisms ..
i stopped on 530 page ch19 because it wasn't on the class materials and high level knowledge requirement .. of course i will back reading the missed chapters when i have more knowledge base for it

it's not for beginners like me of course but because as i mentioned before i took it online"videos" by a good instructor.. it was more easy than reading the book only !

Well written book, covering advanced exploitation topics and ideas - despite being outdated. It also has a lot of resources for someone doing his research to study.

good

[Sherb]

Perfect follow up book to a more basic book like hacking the art of exploitation

[Panos Krimas]

Minus 1 star for the large amount of errors which will annoy (and potentially frustrate) the reader
