Learning fundamentals of vulnerability development, kernel exploitation and other such areas of concern.

[9m323f92m3f9m3 () phrack org]

I want to learn how to develop stack/heap overflow exploits but the documents I'm being told to refer to are atleast 10 
years old, some of which don't work today. I have an "ok" understanding of C, and I'm just wondering what to do now, 
where to research into in as far as exploit-dev is concerned?

I considered kernel dev/exploitation too, does anyone have any tips I could learn from, anything you picked up on your 
own that you'd like to share? maybe a technique you pioneered on a cool system, help please :)
