So i wrote this on the other site (the short messages wannabe porn site) and predictably got just a single response.
Perhaps here I would fare better?

Reading the Qualys writeup about the OpenSSH race condition RCE it occurred to me that there should be a book titled "Beautiful Exploits" in which a handful of beautiful exploits are explained and their philosophical and historical implications are discussed.

Which ones you'd pick?

@4Dgifts i'd love to see a history of bug _classes_. So like the first known exploit of every vulnerability class from each class of memory corruption to sql injection and so forth. That'd be kinda neat.
