Reverse Engineering for Beginners
- gauravgupta 10y agoSuperb! Posted to https://hackr.io/tutorial/reverse-engineering-for-beginners https://hackr.io/tutorial/reverse-engineering-for-beginners
- curiousssly 10y agoAny comments on the book? As quite time investment in so many pages. Anything better for Linux Reverse Engineering ?
- mpeg 10y agoIt's a big book, so have only skimmed through, but it seems very good, well researched and useful. Most of the book is applicable regardless of what the OS is, as it seems to teach you the fundamentals of reading ASM and recognising code patterns in binaries. It even has a full chapter in OS-specific reversing.
- xvilka 10y agoIt certainly worth a time I've spent to read it, even if I'm not a beginner. There are parts, that will be useful for a reverse engineer of every level.
- molteanu 10y agoMaybe you could also read the comments from the previous thread for this book posted here, on hacker news: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10812055 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10812055
- BinMapper 10y agoI have links to a few resources, mail me at this id <my-HN-user-id>[at]gmail.com
- kriro 10y agoDirect link to the github repo since the author seeks translators/all sorts of help and it's probably easiest to use a pull request: https://github.com/dennis714/RE-for-beginners https://github.com/dennis714/RE-for-beginners

- xvilka 10y agoI'd recommend also radare2 book[1] and radare2 explorations book[2] for learning how to reverse using radare2 framework/toolset.

- superice 10y agoLooks very interesting, I will definitely read this. Is there an epub version of this anywhere? Perhaps this is a bit off topic, but why do so many people prefer PDF to Epub, even though Epub seems so much more superior with features like text zoom?
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoPDFs are exact representations of the page as the author intended, EPUBs are not. I generally find PDF far superior for nonfiction because it often has diagrams, pop out sections, etc. EPUB is fine for novels.
- tokenizerrr 10y agoPDFs don't really work on my kindle.
- wwwhizz 10y agoneither do epubs..
- freehunter 10y agoA lot of people don't like reading technical material on e-readers where the structure of the content can be manipulated and diagrams altered, so they prefer PDFs to keep that formatting intact.
- pjmlp 10y agoI think the biggest problem is why ereaders don't have proper support for PDF. At least I am yet to find one that can handle PDFs as easy as epub/mobi. Somehow I suspect it is related with royalties to Adobe.
- aurora72 10y agoWell iPad - iBooks have a proper PDF support isn't that enough?
- RankingMember 10y agoI really like that you don't jump too quickly into the denser stuff without defining things (e.g. pointers) along the way.
- jordiburgos 10y ago1000 pages !!! That's too much for learning. Maybe to use as a guide.
- b3h3moth 10y agoA great course with a lot of materials is "Modern Binary Exploitation"[1], also available on github[2]. [1] http://security.cs.rpi.edu/courses/binexp-spring2015/ http://security.cs.rpi.edu/courses/binexp-spring2015/ [2] https://github.com/RPISEC/MBE https://github.com/RPISEC/MBE
