The integer overflow vulnerability example didn't make much sense to me. Why can the attacker make offset a larger number than fits in an int, but they can't (otherwise) make the offset negative?

Chapter 15 - Again, this chapter included a bit of info I didn't know before, but not in enough detail to feel like I learned much.

Chapter 13 - There were some topics in this chapter I'm not familiar with. e.g. elliptic curve cryptography and identity-based encryption. They weren't covered in enough detail for me to feel like I learned anything, though. I guess I could treat it as a list of topics to learn more about. :/

Chapter 10 - This chapter was very valuable to me. I had of course heard of cross-site scripting attacks before, but I did not understand them in the detail they are presented with here.

Ooh, I vaguely knew printf could be unsafe, but wasn't familiar with the details. The linked paper on format string vulnerabilities is really good! (So far - I'm still reading)

Chapter 5 - The examples of historical worms were kind of interesting, but I didn't really learn any new concepts here.
