I can't really narrow it down to a single specific skill. When I'm reversing, my steps are generally: figure out how I would design the system, come up with a set of assumptions based on that, check the assumptions as quickly as possible, then refactor your model of the system based on what you find. It's really all about making educated guesses and then checking those; as you gain experience, you start making better guesses.

- daeken 14y agoAbout a decade now, probably. Started with MMOs, specifically Everquest, then moved on to DRM (which, oddly enough, is what I was in Forbes for last time), then on to locks and other hardware.
