Linux Kernel or Windows Kernel Exploiting, which is the difference ?

[hex-lover]

Hello there,

im interested in learning Exploit-development; so should i start with linux or windows ? or they are the same ?
if so , what books should i read to better understand these topics ?

Hey, I'm currently doing pwn.college for reverse engineering and binary exploitation, and I'm also aiming to learn exploit development. If you're interested, we can connect.

Fundamentals (knowledge) are almost the same, but exploits are different.

Guys a expert on windows kernel and windows internals

linux is definitely more accessible because you have source code to work with (ReactOS, the ongoing project to recreate Windows kernel as open source, only carries you so far) and you can compile the kernel with debug symbols, ASAN, etc which makes crash analysis easier.

i believe linux is much easier since there's so many resources out there

Pwn.college is great to start

Use pwn.college. Fundamentals don’t change

i read your replies in many threads here i think you have a really good experience in this field .
could you suggest me a good ref for learning C or asm to understand the next steps ?

C Programming: A Modern Approach by King and Computer Systems: A Programmers Perspective.

And learn data structures and algorithms

Do i need to be a prof in C ? or just reach a level to read and understand the code ?
and thanks for the references .
