Beginning with a basic primer on reverse engineering-including computer internals,
operating systems, and assembly language-and then discussing the various applications
of reverse engineering, this book provides readers with practical, in-depth techniques
for software reverse engineering. The book is broken into two parts, the first deals
with security-related reverse engineering and the second explores the more practical
aspects of reverse engineering. In addition, the author explains how to reverse engineer
a third-party software library to improve interfacing and how to reverse engineer
a competitor's software to build a better product.

* The first popular book to show how software reverse engineering can help
defend against security threats, speed up development, and unlock the secrets
of competitive products
* Helps developers plug security holes by demonstrating how hackers exploit
reverse engineering techniques to crack copy-protection schemes and identify
software targets for viruses and other malware
* Offers a primer on advanced reverse-engineering, delving into "disassembly"-
code-level reverse engineering-and explaining how to decipher assembly language
