Hi, I, myself, learned by knowing C and then using a combo of gcc -S and gdb to be able to poke and prod and see how it turned out. Something else that is really good is 'Art of Assembly', IIRC you can download it free off the net- and there is both a windows, and linux version (Dos as well I believe). I didn't learn through this method because I had already picked up a bit from my other method and it starts with what the author calls 'High Level Assembly' (HLA), and I didn't want the filler, however it is a great book.

LeBleu, I am by no means an expert, but I read The Shellcoder's Handbook: Discovering and Exploiting Security Holes (ISBN 0-7645-4468-3) and thought it was a very good book. It explains all sorts of overflows for unix and windows. It also had a little disassembly information in it. If you don't know assembly though you'll probably need to have an assembly book nearby because there are a lot of code examples in assembly. Also phrack.org has a lot of articles that are interesting. hope this helps /john On Fri, 1 Oct 2004, Corey LeBleu wrote:Anyone know any good Assembly Language tutorials or books? Any resources at all would help. I'm trying to learn a little about disassembly and finding security holes/buffer overflows in programs. I'm not really a programmer, so the simpler the better.
