About this ebook
If you want to master the art and science of reverse engineering code with IDA Pro for security R&D or software debugging, this is the book for you. Highly organized and sophisticated criminal entities are constantly developing more complex, obfuscated, and armored viruses, worms, Trojans, and botnets. IDA Pro's interactive interface and programmable development language provide you with complete control over code disassembly and debugging. This is the only book which focuses exclusively on the world's most powerful and popular took for reverse engineering code. - Reverse Engineer REAL Hostile CodeTo follow along with this chapter, you must download a file called !DANGER!INFECTEDMALWARE!DANGER!... 'nuff said - Portable Executable (PE) and Executable and Linking Formats (ELF)Understand the physical layout of PE and ELF files, and analyze the components that are essential to reverse engineering - Break Hostile Code Armor and Write your own ExploitsUnderstand execution flow, trace functions, recover hard coded passwords, find vulnerable functions, backtrace execution, and craft a buffer overflow - Master DebuggingDebug in IDA Pro, use a debugger while reverse engineering, perform heap and stack access modification, and use other debuggers - Stop Anti-ReversingAnti-reversing, like reverse engineering or coding in assembly, is an art form. The trick of course is to try to stop the person reversing the application. Find out how! - Track a Protocol through a Binary and Recover its Message StructureTrace execution flow from a read event, determine the structure of a protocol, determine if the protocol has any undocumented messages, and use IDA Pro to determine the functions that process a particular message - Develop IDA Scripts and Plug-insLearn the basics of IDA scripting and syntax, and write IDC scripts and plug-ins to automate even the most complex tasks
