n00b question:

I'm diving into Assembler and C with the hopes of understanding
application level exploits a little more in depth.  In your opinion,
what are the most beneficial references/tutorials/threads/tools that
helped you get started on your journeys to buffer-overflow-nirvana?
I've read the Introduction to Buffer Overflow by Ghost Rider as well as
the Buffer overflow how-to by Mudge, and both were very valuable.  GDB
appears to be a very strong tool to assist with finding and exploiting
overflows.  Any additional references out there?  Coding is a bit new to
me...so like the human torch says..."Flame ON!!!"

ABI documents for any system you're interested in will be key to
understanding register usage/stack conventions/etc.
