Practical reverse engineering : x86, x64, ARM, Windows Kernel, reversing tools, and obfuscation

Practical reverse engineering : x86, x64, ARM, Windows Kernel, reversing tools, and obfuscation / Bruce Dang, Alexandre Gazet, Elias Bachaalany ; with contributions from Sébastien Josse.

Analyzing how hacks are done, so as to stop them in the future. Reverse engineering is the process of analyzing hardware or software and understanding it, without having access to the source code or design documents. Hackers are able to reverse engineer systems and exploit what they find with scary...
