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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 of their own software, or knowledge to crack these techniques more effectively. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAssembly: computer Architecture, x86, system calls, building and linking, ASCII, condition codes, GDB, control flow, stack, calling conventions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReverse Engineering: reconnaissance, strings, RE strategy, stripping, linking, optimizations, compilers, industry tools\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCracking: patching, key checkers, key generators, resource hacking, dependency walking\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDefense: anti-debugging, anti-tamper, packing, cryptors\/decryptors, whitelist, blacklist, RASP, code signing, obfuscation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA practical and hands-on resource for security professionals to hobbyists, this book is for anyone who wants to learn to take apart, understand, and modify black-box software. \u003ci\u003ex86 Software Reverse-Engineering, Cracking, and Counter-Measures\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital resource for security researchers, reverse engineers and defenders who analyze, research, crack or defend software applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction xxiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Decompilation and Architecture 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 x86 Assembly: Data, Modes, Registers, and Memory Access 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 x86 Assembly: Instructions 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Building and Running Assembly Programs 43\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Understanding Condition Codes 57\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Analyzing and Debugging Assembly Code 65\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Functions and Control Flow 77\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Compilers and Optimizers 127\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Reverse Engineering: Tools and Strategies 137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 Cracking: Tools and Strategies 147\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11 Patching and Advanced Tooling 179\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12 Defense 203\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13 Advanced Defensive Techniques 217\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14 Detection and Prevention 229\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15 Legal 239\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 16 Advanced Techniques 245\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 17 Bonus Topics 251\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion 271\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 273\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Computer science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Computer science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Computer%20science%20%5BUY%5D%22\"\u003eUY\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52458341892376,"sku":"9781394199884","price":39.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781394199884.jpg?v=1785371255","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/x86-software-reverse-engineering-cracking-and-counter-measures-hardback-9781394199884","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
