E-Books x86 Software Reverse-Engineering, Cracking, and Counter-Measures

[Astaroth]

A Crystal Clear and Practical Blueprint for Software Disassembly
Reverse engineering, hacking, and x86 software countermeasures are concentrated in the world of software disassembly. It will start with the basics of x86 assembly language and explore how this knowledge will allow you to reverse engineer and bypass software security controls. No knowledge of assembly language, reverse engineering or software hacking is required.
The book begins with an introduction to x86, during which you will learn how to read, write, and build, which supports the vast majority of computers in the world. The book will then move on to reverse engineering applications using several industry popular programs such as IDA, Ghidra, Olly and others. Next we move on to hacking using techniques such as patching and key generation using assembly and reverse engineering capabilities. Finally, we'll look at hacking from a security perspective. Providing students with techniques to better protect their own software or knowledge to use those 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, change strategy, removal, linking, optimization, compilers, industry tools
Hacking : Patching, Key Validation, Key Generators, Resource Hacking, Dependency Bypassing
Security: Anti-Debug, Anti-Tamper, Packaging, Encryptors/Decryptors, Whitelisting, Blacklisting, RASP, Code Signing, Obfuscation
This is a practical book A resource for security professionals and hobbyists, it is intended for anyone who wants to learn how to disassemble, understand and modify black box software. x86 Software Reverse Engineering, Hacking and Countermeasures is a vital resource for security researchers, reverse engineers and defenders who analyze, investigate, hack or protect software applications.
