## What it is
A curated list of books, tutorials, courses, tools, and vulnerable applications for learning exploit development. It aggregates learning resources such as the Corelan exploit writing tutorial series and classic security books.

## Use cases
- learn exploit development from scratch
- find books on buffer overflow exploitation
- find tutorials on writing shellcode
- study stack-based overflow exploitation
- find vulnerable applications to practice exploitation
- learn how to bypass DEP and ASLR

## When to choose
- you want a curated starting point for learning exploit development
- you need links to classic exploit writing tutorials and books
- you are building a security learning curriculum

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable tool rather than a list of resources
- you need up-to-date modern exploitation techniques
- you want interactive hands-on labs rather than reading material

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, reverse-engineering, developer-tools
- domain: security, penetration-testing, reverse-engineering, tutorials, awesome-lists
- platform: cross-platform
