Book Description
Practical Binary Analysis is the first book of its kind to present advanced binary analysis topics in an accessible way. After an introduction on the basics of binary formats, disassembly, and code injection, you’ll dive into more complex topics such as binary instrumentation, dynamic taint analysis, and symbolic execution. By the end of the book, you’ll be able to build your own binary analysis tools on Linux by following hands-on and practical examples.
