Raesene's Ramblings

Looks like there are a couple of very interesting new books out if you're interested in software security...
The Shellcoder's Handbook: Discovering and Exploiting Security Holes
and
Exploiting Software: How to Break Code
I wonder if this is the start of a trend along the lines of all the network security related books of the Hacking Exposed genre..
One good thing that may come out about this, is hopefully it will lessen the number of times that the argument that "no-one in my company would know how to do this" is used with regards to application hacking stops people from spending on internal application security.
Anyway, definately two for my bookshelf.

Saw an interesting link mentioned on a patch management mailing list which gives a listing of Microsoft Security Bullitins by product, here

Well, after being subscribed to bloglines, and reading a large number of excellent blog on the subjects of security and IT , I decided to give it a shot. Also I'm hoping this will give me a way of keeping track of all the interesting documents and URL's I come across in my wanderings.....
