Top ten reverse engineering tools

Are you interested in software reverse engineering? You would like to know how to peek inside compiled applications, how to restore source code from binary code? Here is a list of top ten reverse engineering tools to do that.

IDA Disassembler, debugger & decompiler

The best reverse engineering tools for .NET apps

The best reverse engineering tools for .NET applications. It is very different from classic tools used for the reversing of native x86 / x64 applications in PE (Windows EXE/DLL Portable Executable) or ELF (Linux Executable and Linkable Format) formats.

Different code architecture forced to create a whole range of dedicated tools for .NET executable files, I will try to present some of them that may be useful in software reversing.

Assembly Optimization Tips - Optimize Assembler Code For Size

There is one particular area of assembly programming that focues on size optimization. I have used this knowledge many times in many of my software reverse engineering projects to modify compiled binaries with a limited amount of space available to include the modified code or to develop shellcodes for 0 day exploits, where again the size of the shellcode is limited.
