I liked your theses very much, actually I was more interested in how to detect the vulnerabilities than the vulnerabilities it self. It's fun to play around with buffers to run shell code and such, but it is harder to device tools or knowledge to detect these errors. I found your references really interesting, here are some links, some of them not included in the thesis.
