Unlock the secrets of software development with 'Reversing', a comprehensive guide ideal for both beginners and seasoned developers. This essential resource begins with a fundamental primer on reverse engineering concepts, covering crucial topics such as computer internals, operating systems, and assembly language. 'Reversing' explores various applications of reverse engineering, providing practical, in-depth techniques tailored for software reverse engineering.

This book is structured into two informative parts. The first concentrates on security-related reverse engineering—a must-read for professionals looking to defend against security threats. Learn how hackers exploit reverse engineering techniques to crack copy-protection schemes and identify targets for malware. The second part dives into practical reverse engineering methods, equipping you to enhance software interfacing and outperform competitors by understanding their products better.

With 624 pages of expert insights from John Wiley & Sons, 'Reversing' is your essential companion in software development. Whether you aim to speed up your development processes or bolster security measures, this book reveals how to effectively reverse engineer software and libraries.

Description:
Beginning with a basic primer on reverse engineering-including
computer internals, operating systems, and assembly language-and
then discussing the various
applications of reverse engineering, this book provides readers
with practical, in-depth techniques for software reverse
engineering. The book is broken into two parts, the first deals
with security-related reverse engineering and the second explores
the more practical aspects of reverse engineering. In addition, the
author explains how to reverse engineer a third-party software
library to improve interfacing and how to reverse engineer a
competitor's software to build a better product.
* The first popular book to show how software reverse engineering
can help defend against security threats, speed up development, and
unlock the secrets of competitive products
* Helps developers plug security holes by demonstrating how hackers
exploit reverse engineering techniques to crack copy-protection
schemes and identify software targets for viruses and other
malware
* Offers a primer on advanced reverse-engineering, delving into
"disassembly"-code-level reverse engineering-and explaining how to
decipher assembly language
