If this kind of stuff interests you, then you should really check out Phrack Magazine [1] (although not very active anymore). There was an amazing article from '96 entitled "Smashing The Stack For Fun And Profit" [2], which gives a great overview of how this all works.

- vezzy-fnord 13y agoThis is a legendary article that brought these vulnerabilities to the spotlight, but it's somewhat outdated by now. You can read it for the cult value and as a general reference to have, but for someone really looking to get into it, I'd recommend Corelan's exploit tutorials, Open Security Training's courses and The Legend of Random's articles on reverse engineering.
