Introduction to Reverse Engineering Software

Introduction to Reverse Engineering Software:

"This book is an attempt to provide an introduction to reverse engineering software under both Linux and Microsoft Windows�. Since reverse engineering is under legal fire, the authors figure the best response is to make the knowledge widespread. The idea is that since discussing specific reverse engineering feats is now illegal in many cases, we should then discuss general approaches, so that it is within every motivated user's ability to obtain information locked inside the black box. Furthermore, interoperability issues with closed-source proprietary systems are just plain annoying, and something needs to be done to educate more open source developers as to how to implement this functionality in their software."
