A crystal-clear and practical blueprint to software disassembly
x86 Software Reverse-Engineering, Cracking, and Counter-Measures is centered around the world of disassembling software. It will start with the basics of the x86 assembly language, and progress to how that knowledge empowers you to reverse-engineer and circumvent software protections. No knowledge of assembly, reverse engineering, or software cracking is required.
The book begins with a bootcamp on x86, learning how to read, write, and build in the assembly that powers a massive amount of the world-s computers. Then the book will shift to reverse engineering applications using a handful of industry favorites such as IDA, Ghidra, Olly, and more. Next, we move to cracking with techniques such as patching and key generation, all harnessing the power of assembly and reverse engineering. Lastly, we-ll examine cracking from a defensive perspective. Providing learners with techniques to be a better defender
