Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering Review: Pure perfection. - I am sorry for having written this review so late. This book is a true gem; a must-have for any serious software engineer. Understanding how software works under the hood is key to writing code properly -- and this book provides an insight on that topic in an absolutely BRILLIANT MANNER. Having a fair bit of reverse engineering experience myself, I have found this book to be extremely concise and detaild -- and I have learned a fair bit of new material while reading it. There is no dull moment in this book. The author (who is clearly a gifted writer) explains reverse-engineering-related topics in a fascinating and unique manner, and, within this work, he actually cements the way in which reverse engineering should always be taught. Written by a true master, the book is very pedagogic; every chapter is accompanied by detailed examples -- which make the discussed topics crystal-clear. I would have given this book more than five stars, had I been able to -- and I can recommend it to every software deveopler without a trace of hesitation; actually, it is now that I have bought an additional copy as a gift to a friend. Rest assured that this book will be a crucial part in your collection of tech books, just like it is in mine. To sum it all up (and as it becomes clear from the above written): I think that this book is a magnificent work of art (no less), and I would even dare to say that I enjoyed it more than any tech book I ever owned. With all the aforementioned complements and my vain attempts to describe the magnificence of this work, words still can't fully do justice to this book. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Review: Well Written Explanations Containing Serious Reversing - This well written gem contains everything needed for a solid foundation in x86 reversing. It will walk you through completing several daunting tasks and does not shy away from getting neck-deep in the nitty gritty details, including pages upon pages of groan-inducing disassembler listings. Be warned that if you just read the book and don't try following the examples on your computer, you will be missing out on a lot and may get the impression that reversing is as easy as the author makes it out to be in this book. There is also plenty of relatively pain-free discussion of high level theory, which comes as a nice relief after going through those previously mentioned pages of disassembler listings. I picked up this book to get better at exploiting software, and was not disappointed. However, this is not a book about exploit development. If anything, it is a book about software cracking, complete with a 50 page walkthrough of an intermediate level protection scheme. The chapter on finding security vulnerabilities is actually very weak, as is the chapter on malware analysis. Despite this, I was not disappointed because the fundamental reversing skills acquired by working through this book are also invaluable base skills for exploit development. My main gripe with this book is it's sole focus on the Windows x86 evironment. I would expect a hypothetical second edition to include many pages on reversing x86-64 code, as well as a chapter on Android and iOS reversing. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #487,867 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #132 in Software Design & Engineering #480 in Software Development (Books) #1,251 in Computer Software (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (208) | | Dimensions | 7.4 x 1.4 x 9.2 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0764574817 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0764574818 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 624 pages | | Publication date | April 15, 2005 | | Publisher | Wiley | ## Images ![Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91BcygWzxIL.jpg) ![Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91jNWKwv2XL.jpg) ![Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71W0zz+9CQL.jpg) ![Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PKMz4WBwL.jpg) ![Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31XQ6EHKQcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pure perfection. *by P***Y on April 11, 2010* I am sorry for having written this review so late. This book is a true gem; a must-have for any serious software engineer. Understanding how software works under the hood is key to writing code properly -- and this book provides an insight on that topic in an absolutely BRILLIANT MANNER.

I would say it best suits somebody that has some years of developing experience in high-level languages such as C/C++ or Delphi/Pascal, while also knows something about Assembly language -- and of course with a strong curiosity for any "secrets" under the hood. From time to time I found myself nodding while reading this book. My work invloves using some software for modeling transportation systems but most of the time the details of the underlying models that software relies on are not well documented. The information in this book helps me quickly learn how to reverse and get the information I want to know. Besides this book is very well written thus very enjoyable to read. In this regard, I would like to say - as an extra bonus I learned a lot from the author's writing ! (Sure, English is not my native lanuage but I have to write a lot technical reports in English for my daily work) I love this book.
