Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
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

• Mainly For Microsoft Windows
29 June, 2009
Book has some good concepts, but most all the book is specifically for Microsoft Windows tools and techniques. I would have like more general approach for various architectures and operating systems.

• Great Book For Software Developers / Security Professionals!
20 April, 2008
This book includes a great deal of effective and practical techniques related to the subject. While reading this book it soon becomes very clear that the author is a highly experienced professional in the field. He does a wonderful job presenting the many relevant topics presented in the book. If developers want to discover vulnerabilities in their own applications, this book will give some excellent pointers. Security professionals will very likely draw some great benefits from it as well. This book is loaded with information which is generally easy to read, (more so if you are familiar with some high and low level programming languages), and remains right on topic. This book is definitely a "must read!"

• Technique And Understanding The Assembly Is The Key
27 July, 2008
I have only read about 1/3 of this book and I already know that it will be a great addition of "treasures" on my bookshelf. The author explains the material in a very clear way and also the way thing are presented to the user is very organized. Buy this book if you want to learn the techniques and how to approach the reversing problems. Do not worry too much about the technical inaccuracies mentioned by other reviewers. You can always write your own little experimental programs to verify those or if you are into reference manuals, you can always download those reference PDFs from Intel anyway. If someone like Russ Osterlund said it's a good read, you should listen.
Understanding how the compiler convert the high level language into the machine code can help you become skillful in the technique of writing good and highly optimized code. It also allow you become a better debugging specialist even if you don't become a brilliant cracker.

• Excellent Book!
27 March, 2009
An excellent resource:
1. it expresses a very effective approach to reversing
2. it approaches reversing different resources (languages/platforms), and documents them appropriately
3. it contains hands-on and very interesting examples.
I'm a beginner in reversing, and at a first sight, this books looks useful for beginners/intermediates.
Recommended.

• Good Book
11 June, 2009
I learned a lot from this book. Some things are a little over my head but that keeps me challenged. This book breaks down the Windows OS very well.
