x86, x64, ARM, Windows Kernel, Reversing Tools, and Obfuscation

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 results. Now the good
guys can use the same tools to thwart these threats. Practical
Reverse Engineering goes under the hood of reverse engineering
for security analysts, security engineers, and system programmers,
so they can learn how to use these same processes to stop hackers
in their tracks.

The book covers x86, x64, and ARM (the first book to cover all
three); Windows kernel-mode code rootkits and drivers; virtual
machine protection techniques; and much more. Best of all, it
offers a systematic approach to the material, with plenty of
hands-on exercises and real-world examples.

• Offers a systematic approach to understanding reverse
  engineering, with hands-on exercises and real-world examples


• Covers x86, x64, and advanced RISC machine (ARM) architectures
  as well as deobfuscation and virtual machine protection
  techniques


• Provides special coverage of Windows kernel-mode code
  (rootkits/drivers), a topic not often covered elsewhere, and
  explains how to analyze drivers step by step


• Demystifies topics that have a steep learning curve


• Includes a bonus chapter on reverse engineering tools

Practical Reverse Engineering: Using x86, x64, ARM, Windows
Kernel, and Reversing Tools provides crucial, up-to-date
guidance for a broad range of IT professionals.
