Intro to Embedded Reverse Engineering for PC reversers

Presented at REcon 2010, July 10, 2010, 1 p.m. (60 minutes)

These days many researchers working in the PC software area are starting to get interested in the embedded reverse engineering. However, most of the materials presented so far assumed familiarity with the topic. This presentation tries to offer a general introduction to the basics from the point of view of a PC reverser. But it's not all theory, there will be plenty of practical techniques discussed as well.


Presenters:

  • Igor Skochinsky
    Igor Skochinsky was interested in "how stuff works" since childhood and got into software reverse engineering while attending Belarusian State University. After graduating cum laude in Computer Science, he spent several years at a big software company but continued to pursue his RE hobby in free time. He had brief periods of internet fame after releasing a dumper for iTunes DRM-ed files (QTFairUse6) and hacking the Amazon Kindle. In 2008 he got his dream job at Hex-Rays where he is helping Ilfak Guilfanov to develop the world famous IDA Pro disassembler.
