An accessible roadmap to software disassembly for advanced security professionals

In x86 Software Reverse-Engineering, Cracking, and Counter-Measures, veteran security researchers and thought leaders deliver an introductory crash course in software reverse-engineering and cracking, as well as the methods used to counter those tactics.

The authors provide the foundation to take anyone with a basic background in software and turn them in to proficient x86 reverse engineers, crackers and defenders.

In the book, you’ll examine software, techniques, and tools that real-world crackers, researchers, and defenders use. You’ll put your newfound knowledge to the test with the use of extensive hands on labs, introducing you to a wide range of industry favorite tools - such as IDA, Resource Hacker, Cheat Engine, Immunity, and more. Additionally you’ll learn some powerful defensive techniques that not only makes you a better defender but empowers you to be a better reverse engineering and cracker.

An essential and practice resource for developers, security professionals, security researchers, and programmers. x86 Software Reverse-Engineering, Cracking and Counter-Measures is the hands-on blueprint for taking apart, reasoning about, and manipulating x86 based code that the security community has been waiting for.
