Are there any positions in the industry where this is part of the average work day? It seems awesome and I really want to get into it.

- nekitamo 12y agoI imagine this sort of reverse engineering is common for malware analysts and people who work in the AV/security industry. Personally I work at a software security shop, where we aim to prevent this sort of reverse engineering. So we also end up doing a lot of this to be familiar with attacks, test our own protection, debug issues etc... If people want to learn more about this kind of stuff, tuts4you is great: https://tuts4you.com/ https://tuts4you.com/ Specifically, the lena151 tutorials are great for beginners with 0 experience: https://tuts4you.com/download.php?list.17 https://tuts4you.com/download.php?list.17
- xorcist 12y agoExcept for the security industry where I guess this would really be your day job, any job with embedded programming close to the metal is not really far from this. Granted, you don't have an adversary so you won't find any anti-debugging tricks dropped into the code, although at times you'd be forgiven for thinking they had.
