Reverse Engineering

The Reverse Engineering (REP) course builds the ability to work out how a compiled program operates, at assembly and debugger level, without access to its source code.

Reverse Engineering Professional (REP) comes with lifetime access to highly technical course materials and guided exercises. Learn at your own pace through the included PDFs and HQ video material.

Highly Practical

Reverse Engineering Professional (REP) comes with a set of downloadable executables that you will reverse engineer, guided by step-by-step video labs. An in-depth explanation of each technique is provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

What prior knowledge does this course require?

The course is advanced. Experience in at least one programming language and familiarity with operating system and memory management concepts are expected; assembly knowledge is developed within the course.

How does it differ from malware analysis?

Reverse engineering is a general skill that applies to any compiled program. Malware analysis is that skill specialised for malicious software, and additionally covers dealing with evasion techniques.

Which platforms are covered?

The course works primarily with the x86 architecture and Windows binaries; the methods taught transfer to other platforms.
