In this course, you will learn to reverse engineer. That will allow you to protect intellectual property, find vulnerabilities, and pull apart malware. Join me in making the world a little safer. In the prior courses we learned there are 4 main techniques to secure code: design review, static analysis, manual audit, and dynamic (fuzz) testing. But, once the code is fielded, hackers will begin researching exploits against it. In this course, learn how and why compiled binaries are examined and scoured for weaknesses, and why reversing is also a required malware analysis skill and is sometimes needed for low-level developers working with undocumented APIs. After watching this course you’ll be familiar all of the above and with the popular IDA pro tool and how to use it. Download the IDA pro demo to complete the labs.
