Hey I'm new to Reverse engineering any recommended books to get me started? Share tips and your story of how you became a RE.
Reverse engineering

If you can't write reasonably complex stuff in Assembly, learn to do that first and learn to use GDB to debug it.
I've been working through various crackmes from crackmes.one
Right now I'm working through hell86, and I'm using Ghidra for static analysis.
Ayden Gomez
Adam Jenkins
lol
Asher Diaz
Well its either Ghidra or IDA, and IDA is proprietary cuckware. I'd take libre glownigger code over that any day.

Some specific things in tech such as reverse engineering are always evolving and doing so faster and faster.
There are some initial logical tricks to finding how ANYTHING works, but other than that, there are no books but few blogs and tutorials that might get you on right track and get you started until you start googlin every little bit of info you get your hands on.
Learn UART dumping of firmware, learn binwalk, radare2, assembly, bash, C and python, try to solve few crackmes and and you are off on a good start.
Michael Kelly
also das u-boot
Ayden Sullivan
Deprecated by Rust. DOn't learn C. C is a meme at this point.
Dominic Howard
weak bait, you pozz nigger.
Jace Long
Just remember that RE is a shitty field to get a job in. It's fine if you do it for fun, but the pay and environment are awful.
This has to be peak freetard.
Luis Allen
Give me one good reason not to use the single best libre static analysis tool, seriously.
Lucas Turner
How do you know it's a shitty field to get into? And learning c is still a must for decompiler c pseudo code if it decompiled to rust per se I would learn rust. That Nsaware is really good it's easy to understand what's going on and I don't have 2k to throw down for it's competition.
David Edwards
Go and download the source code, look for malware and come here, if you'll find something. Or maybe you don't know what's source code for.
Jason Butler
how so?
Alexander Butler
kys
James Nguyen
How come you have NT widgets? Are you that guy that unironically runs Windows 2000
Angel Watson
Still 200 times better than Windows 10
Parker Jackson
rust doesn't even have a set standard. do they seriously expect anyone serious to use it?
Aaron Russell
Jayden Diaz
You're forgetting Radare2
Angel Rivera
Lmao Radare2 is basically useless compared to both Ghidra and IDA
See how much time it takes you to RE some kernel module in Radare compared to Ghidra.
Thomas Green
There's no way RE can be that shitty, I'd figure people have to PAY for RE because it's pretty arduous.
Parker Cruz
Hunter Green
I've always found it's easier to pick a target for reverse engineering, then build a syllabus on how to take it apart and figure out how it ticks around that. Research without a goal in mind isn't particularly engaging, at least for me.
