Binary Reverse Engineering for Beginners (CLASS)

Presented at BSidesDC 2017, Oct. 7, 2017, 8 a.m. (540 minutes)

Binary reverse engineering is a critical skill in the infosec world, from verifying crypto algorithms to finding and analyzing vulnerabilities and writing exploits. This often requires a balance of experience and intuition that only comes from practice. Our workshop will delve into the dark art of disassembly and provide participants with the tools and techniques required to practice it and develop the perceived "sixth sense" that accompanies expert reverse engineers.
