Reverse Engineering Binaries
summary
Demonstrates using GNU binutils and gdb to analyze runtime problems when only binaries or libraries are available, showing how to trace code flow, resolve symbols, and reconstruct likely source-level behavior from executables. Covers diagnosing issues such as symbol resolution failures, crashes, and nonstandard programming patterns by inspecting binaries, with some reliance on assembly, registers, and system architecture knowledge.
