Hacker News Reader

Memory analysis and exploitation is fascinating. Anyone knows any good resource for someone interested in it but still quite "noobish"? I know only Drepper's paper and the classic "Smashing the stack [...]"...

Matasano's "Chargen" blog has a few posts on the Flash vulnerability Mark Dowd found last spring. They make it understandable.

Their site is currently down, but Google has a cache: http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:5VHY2EwpC-8J:www.matasan...

Some papers from a security class at my school, varying levels of difficulty, but they all start from pretty low assumed knowledge if you're careful:

Lots of high-quality articles on low-level hacking. I like the new editors!

Anyone know who the Cliph they mention is? I did have a brief look on google without much luck. I'm presuming it's someone who's passed away based on the introduction mentioned there.

I believe it is Wojciech Purczynski.

Where is loopback? this ish is teh suck!

I presume there is no loopback as this is an editorial reboot and hence no one has emailed the new team.

Phrack hasn't had steady management since route et al.
