Foundations of Linux Debugging, Disassembling, and Reversing: Analyze Binary Code, Understand Stack Memory Usage, and Reconstruct C/C++ Code with Intel x64: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Foundations of Linux Debugging, Disassembling, and Reversing: Analyze Binary Code, Understand Stack Memory Usage, and Reconstruct C/C++ Code with Intel x64" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Review topics ranging from Intel x64 assembly language instructions and writing programs in assembly language, to pointers, live debugging, and static binary analysis of compiled C and C++ code. This book is ideal for Linux desktop and cloud developers.

Using the latest version of Debian, youll focus on the foundations of the diagnostics of core memory dumps, live and postmortem debugging of Linux applications, services, and systems, memory forensics, malware, and vulnerability analysis. This requires an understanding of x64 Intel assembly language and how C and C++ compilers generate code, including memory layout and pointers.

This book provides the background knowledge and practical foundations youll need in order to master internal Linux program structure and behavior. It consists of practical step-by-step exercises of increasing complexity with explanations and ample diagrams. Youll also work with the GDB debugger and use it for disassembly and reversing.

By the end of the book, you will have a solid understanding of how Linux C and C++ compilers generate binary code. In addition, you will be able to analyze such code confidently, understand stack memory usage, and reconstruct original C/C++ code. Foundations of Linux Debugging, Disassembling, and Reversing is the perfect companion to Foundations of ARM64 Linux Debugging, Disassembling, and Reversing for readers interested in the cloud or cybersecurity.


What Youll Learn
  • Review the basics of x64 assembly language
  • Examine the essential GDB debugger commands for debugging and binary analysis
  • Study C and C++ compiler code generation with and without compiler optimizations
  • Look at binary code disassembly and reversing patterns
  • See how pointers in C and C++ are implemented and used
Who This Book Is For

Software support and escalation engineers, cloud security engineers, site reliability engineers, DevSecOps, platform engineers, software testers, Linux C/C++ software engineers and security researchers without Intel x64 assembly language background, beginners learning Linux software reverse engineering techniques, and engineers coming from non-Linux environments.

Preface

The book covers topics ranging from Intel x64 assembly language instructions and writing programs in assembly language to pointers, live debugging, and static binary analysis of compiled C and C++ code.

Diagnostics of core memory dumps, live and postmortem debugging of Linux applications , services, and systems, memory forensics, malware, and vulnerability analysis require an understanding of x64 Intel assembly language and how C and C++ compilers generate code, including memory layout and pointers. This book is about background knowledge and practical foundations that are needed to understand internal Linux program structure and behavior, start working with the GDB debugger, and use it for disassembly and reversing. It consists of practical step-by-step exercises of increasing complexity with explanations and many diagrams, including some necessary background topics.

By the end of the book, you will have a solid understanding of how Linux C and C++ compilers generate binary code. In addition, you will be able to analyze such code confidently, understand stack memory usage , and reconstruct original C/C++ code.

The book will be useful for

  • Software technical support and escalation engineers

  • Software engineers coming from JVM background

  • Software testers

  • Engineers coming from non-Linux environments, for example, Windows or Mac OS X

  • Linux C/C++ software engineers without assembly language background

  • Security researchers without assembly language background

  • Beginners learning Linux software reverse engineering techniques

This book can also be used as an x64 assembly language and Linux debugging supplement for relevant undergraduate-level courses.

Memory and Registers Inside an Idealized Computer
Computer memory consists of a sequence of memory cells, and each cell has a unique address (location). Every cell contains a number. We refer to these numbers as contents at addresses (locations). Because memory access is slower than arithmetic instructions, there are so-called registers to speed up complex operations that require memory to store temporary results. We can also think about them as stand-alone memory cells. The name of a register is its address. Figure illustrates this concept.
