Listen "Black Page Update: Reverse Engineering"
Episode Synopsis
From the Black Hat Black Page
Reverse engineering has become a staple of security research. Only a few years ago an arcane specialty, many factors such as the increase in malware and common dependence on closed-source software has increased the value and need for reverse engineering. If a newbie came to me for advice about preparing for future work in the security field, I would tell them to concentrate on reversing as a core skill.
For a couple years we have been focusing on reverse engineering content and trying to bring information for the newly initiated and expert. For a good dive into the realm of unpacking, Mark Vincent Yason brings "The Art of Unpacking." Mark's presentation will bring you up to date with
the state of packers and their defenses and arm you with techniques and tools to strip away the defenses. For a deeper look at some techniques and tools to defeat many packers and other armoring techniques, we have Danny Quist and Valsmith presenting "Covert Debugging: Circumventing Software Armoring Techniques" and Cody Pierce releasing and discussing "PyEmu: A multi-purpose scriptable x86 emulator." This should be some cool and useful content for anyone interested in reversing.
