eBooks

[Nate]

Does anyone have any eBooks to share on the topic of security.  I was really sad when IRC wouldn't connect to tehnetwork.

No, but the best intro book I've read on code security is "Hacking: Art of Exploitation".  If you get through that, do the code samples, and understand them really well, then look into "The Shellcoder's Handbook", which is the best book ever written on application security.  But "The Shellcoder's Handbook" isn't an intro-level book.

Tehuser told me The Shellcoder's Handbook is not as great as it seems.

I thorougly enjoyed it.  But it's not-for-beginners, though, you won't understand it unless you know machine code/assembly/hacking decently well before you start. 

It was recommended to me by the security person I respect more than any other. 

Although they do make a few minor technical errors, I'll admit that.  It took me awhile to find the "epb" register after reading it :)

I'm pretty sure I'm the one who told him that. 

But it's definitely a good book, I recommend it highly.
