Good book for research . Please add these two more
The Art of Computer Virus Research and Defense ... by Peter Szor
Malware: Fighting Malicious Code ... by Ed Skoudis


 

I know you have already bought the books, but I figured I'd share anyway.  I have looked over Hacking: The art of Exploitation and it looked good.  I've had some other people recommend it to me as well.  I just got the Shell Coders Handbook and have made it through the first 2 chapters.  It is incredibly in depth, with great examples that you can follow along with.  It is however, one of those "makes your brain hurt" books if you haven't done assembly and OS stuff in a while.  I'm really glad that I have it.. and I'm also really glad that I don't have time to sit down and read it for long periods of time, otherwise I might pull something   Other stuff that has helped me a lot lately that are more free resources, are http://www.darkreading.com and looking at some of the code to metasploit.  I "borrowed" the shell code from metasploit for use in another languages exploit and their method of putting forth the exploit itself and the stuff you're going to be injecting is really informative.   Also sans has some great webcasts that are archived, for instance after https://www.sans.org/webcasts/show.php?webcastid=90649 you'll be all "I know kung-fu" and someone else will be all "show me".  Anyway, hope this helps someone
