The Shellcoder’s Handbook, 2nd Ed (TSH2E) by Chris Ainley, John Heasman, FX, and Gerardo Richarte. I liked TSH2E, but I could tell that the collaboration among four authors caused some issues that could have been addressed by better editing. For example, early parts of the book use both Intel and AT&T assembly syntax, but the reader doesn’t get an explanation of either until chapter 7. The book (although published in 2008) expertly addressed various defenses introduced in operating systems.”]
