Thank you for sharing, this is a very good reading.
I purchased a book about using buffer overflow to hack stuff. but I'm wondering how those kernel bugs were discovered?
If you want an excellent book on kernel security, I'd suggest buying "A Guide to Kernel Exploitation: Hacking the Core". It's a fairly technical book, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you have exploit and modern operating systems experience, but it's a good book that covers every major platform and a lot of details.
It's probably one of the best technical security related books I've ever read.
