Description
Blue Fox: Arm Assembly Internals and Reverse Engineering by Maria Markstedter provides a solid foundation in Arm assembly internals and reverse-engineering fundamentals, essential for analyzing and securing billions of Arm devices.
With the widespread use of Arm processors in over 90% of mobile devices, billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and current laptops from major manufacturers, finding and mitigating security vulnerabilities has become a critical internet security frontier. This book introduces readers to modern Armv8-A instruction sets and the process of reverse-engineering Arm binaries for security research and defensive purposes.
Divided into two sections, the book covers the basics of ELF file format and OS internals, followed by an in-depth exploration of Arm architecture fundamentals and the A32 and A64 instruction sets. It also delves into the process of reverse-engineering itself, including setting up an Arm environment, static and dynamic analysis tools, and extracting and emulating firmware for analysis.
