Basics of Practical Software Reverse Engineering

This course is designed for beginners who are interested in the fundamentals of software reverse engineering and its application within cyber security. Whether you are new to programming or already have some experience, this course provides an accessible introduction to the field. No prior programming knowledge is required, though a basic understanding of programming concepts will be beneficial. Throughout the course, you will explore key themes, including:

Software reverse engineering techniques
The basics of disassembly and using disassembly tools
The relationship between reverse engineering and cyber security
Understanding programs written in the C programming language

All examples, and assignments used in the final exam, involve working with Linux binaries. While previous experience with Linux can be helpful, it is not a strict prerequisite. By the end of this course, you will have a basic foundational understanding of software reverse engineering/disassembly.

1. Course content

In this course, we will be looking at the basics of software reverse engineering, as well as some of the prerequisites for understanding disassembly. The course is fairly short, but should provide you with the basic consepts of software reverse engineering in order to begin practicing on your own. During this course, we will glance briefly into C-programming language, assembly, some reverse engineering tools (disassemblers), and demos and examples on how to use them.
