Key benefits

  • Adopt a methodological approach to binary ELF analysis on Linux
  • Learn how to disassemble binaries and understand disassembled code
  • Discover how and when to patch a malicious binary during analysis

Description

Binary analysis is the process of examining a binary program to determine information security actions. It is a complex, constantly evolving, and challenging topic that crosses over into several domains of information technology and security. This binary analysis book is designed to help you get started with the basics, before gradually advancing to challenging topics. Using a recipe-based approach, this book guides you through building a lab of virtual machines and installing tools to analyze binaries effectively. You'll begin by learning about the IA32 and ELF32 as well as IA64 and ELF64 specifications. The book will then guide you in developing a methodology and exploring a variety of tools for Linux binary analysis. As you advance, you'll learn how to analyze malicious 32-bit and 64-bit binaries and identify vulnerabilities. You'll even examine obfuscation and anti-analysis techniques, analyze polymorphed malicious binaries, and get a high-level overview of dynamic taint analysis and binary instrumentation concepts. By the end of the book, you'll have gained comprehensive insights into binary analysis concepts and have developed the foundational skills to confidently delve into the realm of binary analysis.

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone looking to learn how to dissect ELF binaries using open-source tools available in Linux. If you’re a Linux system administrator or information security professional, you’ll find this guide useful. Basic knowledge of Linux, familiarity with virtualization technologies and the working of network sockets, and experience in basic Python or Bash scripting will assist you with understanding the concepts in this book

A great product that gets right into the code! Most of the time, when I am doing a Capture the Flag or competition that involves reversing, I will just run a strings file as a "Hail Mary" to hopefully pull the flag. It rarely works.This book did an excellent job of stepping me through reviewing, understanding, and tweaking code to understand what goes on behind the scenes. The chapters are broken in up to slowly ramp up the more challenging items. Each section has code examples for homework and a follow-up discussion. This is perfect for my learning style.If you are thinking about getting into the field or are already a veteran this should be right on your bookshelf next to Practical Malware Analysis!
