Oh come on... Go dl PaiMei, go through the enormous headache of putting it all together and find a sploit  I guarantee you once you get into it, it becomes a little addictive. Why can't we set people to ignore on these forums? I'm busy enough as it is; I don't need people filling my head with this kind of nonsense  Seriously though, we'll see how it goes. I'm just getting my feet wet with assembly at the moment (ridiculous how little I actually knew about memory and processors), so that's a ways off. I'm not ruling anything out, but I need to prioritize

Reversing for sploits Intense knowledge of debugging and programming needed to understand problematic areas through injection, tainted variables, etc. unknown - you're fishing for issues
Reversing for malware Decent knowledge of the use of sploits available needed to inject and taint variables established applications and variables KNOWN - malware authors send targeted payload
That's the key difference I was referring do. I don't have the patience fuzz applications or do anything like that. There's obviously a lot of overlap in the requisite skills, but I'd rather try to find out how something works than aimlessly search for something that might not even be there (OK, I know there will likely always be something if you look hard enough  ).

I was really interested in focusing on RE until I read this thread. For some reason, I'm not disappointed because I feel like I learned so much from reading sil's posts. I think I'll take some time to find and read the other 200 of them in the near future.
Aren't you more interested in reverse engineering malware though? I think there's a significant difference in that and trying to find vulnerabilities and write exploits.

I'm just kidding. Those are already on my wish-list at Amazon. I do shop the bargain sites, such as what you listed, half.com, Amazon's used selection. I often spend more on shipping ($3.99) than the book itself. That's why I have more books than what I know what to do with. Those are up next. I'm hitting up assembly and then moving on to Hacking: The Art of Exploitation and The Shellcoder's Handbook. I need to de-noob myself
