    Anyone here gone through the challenges at https://pwn.college? Been working through the orange belt intro to cyber security and was fairly surprised by how indepth it was -- the UI is a little nicer than how hack the box handles its flags when I went through some of them years ago. Any books you all recommend going through once I get further along in the reverse engineering and binary exploitation challenges? Seems like there's a fair number of challenges surrounding exploits in kernel modules that I imagine are going to be harder than the stack smashing problems that I'm currently going through just peering through the site.

    Can't be arsed, to be honest. First hurdle was when I tried to view a
    video, Youtube wanted me to login and opened a new window, and when i
    was in, just gave me recent recommendations. I ain't got time for that.
