I first learned about this book back in 2007 when a friend recommended it to me. Unfortunately, I forgot about it until a few weeks ago when I stumbled upon it in our university library. The book is incredibly well-structured, and its content remains relevant for software engineers seeking to enhance their understanding of security. While some of the techniques described in the book may no longer be applicable due to technological advancements in recent years, it still provides a solid foundation for identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in software.
Regrettably, I only had access to the German translation, which was of poor quality. Therefore, I highly recommend reading the original English version of this book!
