Wiley - Reversing Secrets of Reverse Engineering
Requirements: PDF Reader
Overview:
Beginning with a basic primer on reverse engineering-including computer internals, operating systems, and assembly language-and then discussing the various applications of reverse engineering, this book provides readers with practical, in-depth techniques for software reverse engineering. The book is broken into two parts, the first deals with security-related reverse engineering and the second explores the more practical aspects of reverse engineering. In addition, the author explains how to reverse engineer a third-party software library to improve interfacing and how to reverse engineer a competitor's software to build a better product.
* The first popular book to show how software reverse engineering can help defend against security threats, speed up development, and unlock the secrets of competitive products
* Helps developers plug security holes by demonstrating how hackers exploit reverse engineering techniques to crack copy-protection schemes and identify software targets for viruses and other malware
* Offers a primer on advanced reverse-engineering, delving into "disassembly"-code-level reverse engineering-and explaining how to decipher assembly language
Here is a brief listing of some of the topics discussed throughout this book:
- Assembly language for IA-32 compatible processors and how to read compiler-generated assembly language code.
- Operating systems internals and how to reverse engineer an operating system.
- Reverse engineering on the .NET platform, including an introduction to the .NET development platform and its assembly language: MSIL.
- Data reverse engineering: how to decipher an undocumented file-format or network protocol.
- The legal aspects of reverse engineering: when is it legal and when is it not?
- Copy protection and digital rights management technologies.
- How reverse engineering is applied by crackers to defeat copy protection technologies.
- Techniques for preventing people from reverse engineering code and a sober attempt at evaluating their effectiveness.
- The general principles behind modern-day malicious programs and how reverse engineering is applied to study and neutralize such programs.
- A live session where a real-world malicious program is dissected and revealed, also revealing how an attacker can communicate with the program to gain control of infected systems.
- The theory and principles behind decompilers, and their effectiveness on the various low-level languages.
