    I spent a lot of time writing C programs/disassembling/figuring out what
    happened. How does it handle various loops or conditionals or function
    calls or other stuff. I had an assembly book I used as a reference (Art of
    Assembly), but I did most of my learning from writing my own programs.

    Must more recently, I also got a book called "Hacker Disassembling
    Uncovered". It assumes some understanding of assembly, and it goes over a
    lot of the common protection mechanisms.

    Another book I enjoyed was "Hacking: Art of Exploitation". Half of the
    chapter was dedicated to hacking software for buffer overflows, heap-based
    overflows, and other common exploits. It is based in C/Linux, not assembly,
    but if you want to learn about what to look for, it's definitely a good
    start.

    Anyone know any good Assembly Language tutorials or books? Any
    resources at all would help. I'm trying to learn a little about
    disassembly and finding security holes/buffer overflows in programs.
    I'm not really a programmer, so the simpler the better. Thanks.
