Security Warrior: Windows Reverse Engineering

Overview Software reverse engineering, also known as Reverse Code Engineering (RCE), is the art of dissecting closed-source binary applications. Unlike open source software, which theoretically can be more easily peer-reviewed for security, closed source software presents the user with a "Black box." Historically, RCE has been performed on Windows platforms, but there is now a growing need for expert Linux reversers as well.
