This is indeed a complete guide. But expecting readers to learn ruby, assembly, and buffer overflows etc. with one chapter dedicated for each is absurd. Nonetheless, these topics are discussed in the latter half. I would definitely recommend the first 60% of the book for any beginner. Best in market.
