No source code? No problem. With IDA Pro, the interactive disassembler,
you live in a source code-optional world. IDA can automatically analyze
the millions of opcodes that make up an executable and present you with
a disassembly. But at that point, your work is just beginning. With The
IDA Pro Book, you'll learn how to turn that mountain of mnemonics into
something you can actually use.
Hailed by the creator of IDA Pro as "profound, comprehensive, and
accurate," the second edition of The IDA Pro Book covers everything
from the very first steps to advanced automation techniques. You'll find
complete coverage of IDA's new Qt-based user interface, as well as
increased coverage of the IDA debugger, the Bochs debugger, and IDA
scripting (especially using IDAPython). But because humans are still
smarter than computers, you'll even learn how to use IDA's latest
interactive and scriptable interfaces to your advantage.
Save time and effort as you learn to:
-Navigate, comment, and modify disassembly
-Identify known library routines, so you can focus your analysis on
other areas of the code
-Use code graphing to quickly make sense of cross references and
function calls
-Extend IDA to support new processors and filetypes using the SDK
-Explore popular plug-ins that make writing IDA scripts easier, allow
collaborative reverse engineering, and much more
-Use IDA's built-in debugger to tackle hostile and obfuscated code
Whether you're analyzing malware, conducting vulnerability research, or
reverse engineering software, a mastery of IDA is crucial to your
success. Take your skills to the next level with this 2nd edition of
The IDA Pro Book.
