** Just have skim-read this, so it is NOT a review.. this is just a summary so I know when I can pick it up later for reference. **

It is essentially a 'security researchers' handbook, and goes into detail about discovering vulnerabilities and writing exploits to target them.

It is hugely comprehensive and immensely detailed. Looks very useful for when I come to writing exploits/looking for them.
