Write-up on Lena151’s Reversing Tutorials [1-5]
I decided that I want to do something new and I started to get into assembly and reverse engineering, hopefully I can build a career with this. I watched some plural sight videos on the RE that gave me a nice introduction on subject but sadly nothing practical, and the content was not very detailed. I’ve tried to read a book on RE, Practical Reverse Engineering but that didn’t help, I didn’t understand assembly that well and I ended giving it up… until the beginning of this month, when I took initiative and started doing to Intro to x86 course from open security training, quite a nice course as it helped me understand assembly on a basic level, a thing that gave me courage to pursue RE further. I did the binary bomb challenge from the course but It gave me no satisfaction at all, I couldn’t get the binary to run in the debugger and I had to use the IDA disassembler in order to solve it, then check with google if my solutions were correct. That was fine until phase 6, where I gave up as the assembly was difficult to understand. 😞 ...
