  I'm by no means an expert but these are some of the links/books I've found informative. Smashing The Stack For Fun And Profit [1] Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering [2] The IDA Pro Book [3] The iOS Hacker's Handbook [4] was interesting as a sort of case study on exploiting and hacking embedded hardware. Mostly what I've found, though, is just starting with a question and googling the…

  …implies, it's a good practical guide and will teach many of the "heavy" skills instead of just a platform-specific book targeted to something like iOS. Maybe supplement with a tool-specific book like The IDA Pro Book. 3. Security Engineering - You can probably read either this or The Art of Software Security Assessment. Both of these are old books, but the core principles are timeless. You absolutely should read…

  …pretty good - https://www.coursera.org/specializations/cyber-security Other books, if you wanted to go down the reverse engineering route: Assembly Language Step-by-Step: Programming with Linux The IDA Pro Book (for the strangely hard to buy IDA Pro, but the free version is pretty good) Practical Malware Analysis

  …excellent. Get the $15 bundle. Those are the best ones. They are a little bit out of date, but still very relevant. This is a steal! Especially great books: * Hacking the Art of Exploitation * The Ida Pro Book (mostly if you use Windows) * The Practice of Network Security Monitoring * Practical Packet Analysis The Metasploit book was pretty good too, and taught me a lot about Metasploit. It didn't really…

  The physical books from this list I own are actually great (Metaploit guide, Pentesting, Book of PF, Art of Exploitation, The IDA Pro Book, and Practical Packet Analysis). I am buying this bundle because I'd love to have PDFs of these, and I'm thinking the other books must be good if they're bundled with these others which I find useful.

  …our WoW), so we can address a lot of these kinds of problems with brute force, because this isn't a spare-time thing. If it helps to understand where we're coming from: Chris Eagle, the author of The IDA Pro book, published an IDA Pro plugin for the bizarro-MSP430 that Microcorruption (our last CTF) emulates. There are tools with "microcorruption mode" in them because of all the little ways we broke MSP430. Someone…

  I have the physical copies of the first two. The IDA Pro Book, I remember ordering 8 years ago because I didn't have such persistent internet connection back then.
