Binary Analysis Cookbook

A great product that gets right into the code! Most of the time, when I am doing a Capture the Flag or competition that involves reversing, I will just run a strings file as a "Hail Mary" to hopefully pull the flag. It rarely works.This book did an excellent job of stepping me through reviewing, understanding, and tweaking code to understand what goes on behind the scenes. The chapters are broken in up to slowly ramp up the more challenging items. Each section has code examples for homework and a follow-up discussion. This is perfect for my learning style.If you are thinking about getting into the field or are already a veteran this should be right on your bookshelf next to Practical Malware Analysis!
