Reversing is an art more than a science, and the most important things to learn are not tools of the trade but habits of thought and approaches to problem solving.
I appreciate what this guy is doing by documenting his learning process, it will help him without doubt, but... as an audience - perhaps we should not learn a difficult skill from someone who started their own journey into this subject a few days ago?
- akiselev 8y agoThere's another demographic who I think would find this useful: people who used to do reverse engineering decades ago but moved on to software development. Cracking software I couldn't afford as a kid was what got me into programming and I'd love to pick it back up but time is limuted. Figuring out which tools to use by scouring Russian forums and random little hole in the wall RE sites was fun but it's great to have an up to date resource. That it comes with a beginner's perspective is quite useful since it's less likely to skip small details that an experienced reverse engineer would find second nature.
