These days, with tools like IDA and Ghidra, I find I’m no longer dealing with disassembly regularly. These tools are doing such a good job of turning assembly code into usable C that reading disassembly is now only necessary in corner cases (SSE functions, rare instructions like AAD, or obfuscated code). It’s honestly incredible how much progress has been made in this area over the past few years.
- souprock 5y agoI have those tools, and I rarely bother with the C they can generate. Plain disassembly isn't so great either. Usually IDA's graph view is the most productive. (it looks like a flow chart made from chunks of assembly code) I really wish Ghidra had a usable graph view; the graph view in Ghidra is just awful. I know somebody else who sticks to the plain assembly listing view. People have their preferences.
