More practical less theory

Key Features

● In-depth practical demonstration with multiple examples of reverse engineering concepts.

● Provides a step-by-step approach to reverse engineering, including assembly instructions.

● Reverse engineering strategies for simple-to-complex applications like Wannacry ransomware and Windows calculator.

Description

The book ‘Implementing Reverse Engineering’ begins with a step-by-step explanation of the fundamentals of reverse engineering. You will learn how to use reverse engineering to find bugs and hacks in real-world applications. This book is divided into three sections. The first section is an exploration of the reverse engineering process. The second section explains reverse engineering of applications, and the third section is a collection of real-world use-cases with solutions.

The first section introduces the basic concepts of a computing system and the data building blocks of the computing system. This section also includes open-source tools such as CFF Explorer, Ghidra, Cutter, and x32dbg. The second section goes over various reverse engineering practicals on various applications to give users hands-on experience.

What you will learn

● Understand different code calling conventions like CDECL, STDCALL, and FASTCALL with practical illustrations.

● Analyze and break WannaCry ransomware using Ghidra.

● Hack the Windows calculator to modify its behavior.

Who this book is for

This book is for cybersecurity researchers, bug bounty hunters, software developers, software testers, and software quality assurance experts who want to perform reverse engineering for advanced security from attacks. Interested readers can also be from high schools or universities (with a Computer Science background).
