Practical Reverse Engineering: x86, x64, ARM, Windows Kernel, Reversing Tools, and Obfuscation
LEARN THE SCIENCE  AND CRAFT OF REVERSE ENGINEERING TO FIGHT HACKERS AND ROOTKITSCriminals increasingly are using malicious software (exploits, viruses, rootkits, etc.) for fraud, denial-of-service, intrusions, and espionage operations. Reverse engineering is the only method to thoroughly dissect and understand such software. So it is no surprise that reverse engineering is one of the most important subjects in information security. Unfortunately, it is often perceived as a mysterious and complex black art. Although reverse engineering is a difficult subject, the authors believe there is a scientific approach to it.Practical Reverse Engineeringaims to demystify the art and systematize the reverse-engineering process for students and professionals.Discover a unique, systematic approach to reverse engineering that incorporates hands-on analysis with real-world malwareFind detailed coverage of the three most popular processor architectures: x86, x64, and ARMUse this concise, structured treatment of the Windows kernel and kernel-mode drivers, featuring walk-throughs and exercises with real-world rootkitsLearn sophisticated code-obfuscation techniques, such as those used in virtual machine protections, and how to deobfuscate them using program-analysis techniquesDiscover advanced debugging techniques to automate and streamline the reverse-engineering processApply newly learned concepts with complete walk-throughs and exercises using real-world malware
