Anyone know how good these books are? - superMAUS - 05-09-2014
So Im ordering the following books:
The Art of x86 Assembly
A guide to kernel exploitation: Attacking the core
A guide to kernel exploitation: Attacking the core
Anyone actually know how good these books are though?

I'm reading the first one, it's pretty good!
Dunno about the second one.
here are my favorite books:
The Rootkit Arsenal: Escape and Evasion in the Dark Corners of the System
Windows Via C/C++ Fifth edition

Number one looks pretty good thanks for the referral. Whereas I can use C for automation on Linux I can only see myself using it on Windows for malware and servers generally run Linux. Not really interested in hacking personal computers.

The second book is pretty good to gain knowledge on windows itself plus it gives code samples,
it's a pretty big book with lots of info in it and It helped me a lot, there are many books on windows but most of them are very old, by far this one is the newest, released just before win7

wikibooks has a good starter guide to x86 Assembly
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/X86_Assembly
I wouldn't necessarily read the second one after though, because one book won't help you enough probably.

I am not completely ignorant when it comes to assembly and I understand memory management to some degree, it not as if this is the first Ill ever read
All references to books are good though so I thank you for that!

Both of these are great books, and the first is my favorite book for teaching assembler. Definitely recommend them.
