X86 Software Reverseengineering, Cracking, And Countermeasures (Tech Today),New

A crystalclear and practical blueprint to software disassemblyx86 Software ReverseEngineering, Cracking, and CounterMeasures 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 reverseengineer 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 worlds 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, well examine cracking from a defensive perspective. Providing learners with techniques to be a better defender of their own software, or knowledge to crack these techniques more effectively. Assembly: computer Architecture, x86, system calls, building and linking, ASCII, condition codes, GDB, control flow, stack, calling conventions Reverse Engineering: reconnaissance, strings, RE strategy, stripping, linking, optimizations, compilers, industry tools Cracking: patching, key checkers, key generators, resource hacking, dependency walking Defense: antidebugging, antitamper, packing, cryptors/decryptors, whitelist, blacklist, RASP, code signing, obfuscationA practical and handson resource for security professionals to hobbyists, this book is for anyone who wants to learn to take apart, understand, and modify blackbox software. x86 Software ReverseEngineering, Cracking, and CounterMeasures is a vital resource for security researchers, reverse engineers and defenders who analyze, research, crack or defend software applications.
