Here's a good sequence.. 1. Chapters 1-3, Assembly Programming Step-by-Step: DOS/Linux 2. Chapter 1, Computer Organization and Design (patterson/hennessy) 3. Inside the Machine (Finish all) 4. Computer Organization and Design (continue upto finish) 5. Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach (patterson/hennessy) 6. Modern Operating Systems (Tannenbaum) 7. Assembly Programming Step-by-Step (continue to finish) 8. Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering 9. Learn at least C programming, get a pdf version of ANSI-C standard 10. Obtain a free copy of 8-book set Intel Architecture Software Development Manual from Intel 11. Go to Metasploit, Millw0rm, packetstormsecurity, download sample exploits and read the codes, practice writing.. It's a lot of read but it's worth it. It's like taking a computer engineering course. I'm a graduate of Information Technology but was never taught system programming at school. If you really have want to become elite, you have to start reading now. I'm still in #4 and i'm doing pretty good in absorbing everything i'm reading. I'm not going to give up until I've reached my goal. I have all the time in the world. Good luck to you! :-) -mark On Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 11:15 AM, shellcoder1 <shellcoder1 () gmail com> wrote:
Hi there, what is a good way to learn assembly language so that I can understand buffer overflows and heap overflows ?
