Description
Mastering binary analysis and instrumentation is crucial for understanding how software works and gaining control over binary programs. This hands-on guide takes you from basic concepts to state-of-the-art methods, teaching you how to analyze binaries using techniques like the GNU/Linux binary analysis toolchain, disassembly, and code injection.
With a focus on security engineers, hackers, and those with a basic working knowledge of C/C++ and x86-64, this book provides in-depth coverage of binary programs and the tools and techniques needed to gain more insight into them. You'll learn how to tackle topics like code injection, disassembly, dynamic taint analysis, and binary instrumentation.
By completing an introduction to basic binary formats, you'll be able to analyze binaries using advanced methods and acquire a deeper understanding of what they really do, rather than just what we think they should do.
