exploit detection?

["Littlefield, Tyler" <tyler () tysdomain com>]

Hello all,
I would like to start playing with this, though I am really not sure 
where to get started. My goal for now is to just help out open source 
software by finding these and submitting information on it so they can 
be fixed.
I know c, some assembly, c++ and a few other languages that I think 
might help, but I'm really not sure where you'd get started with 
something like this. I know about buffer overflows, (and I have played 
with them a bit), but with the address randomization, there has to be 
many other ways out there. What is something I can start working with to 
be able to help out somewhere? I really want the experience that would 
come out of this sort of work.

Thanks,
Ty
