Thank you for this. I went down a 3 day rabbit hole learning about return oriented programming and finding this awesome seemingly open courseware class called CS 4630 Defense Against the Dark Arts [0], which eventually led to me signing up for this x86-64 assembly thing [1] when I had absolutely no idea what they were talking about by the third class.

That is the greatest class name ever.
