To Go Further

And so ends this introduction to software reverse engineering. I hope you enjoyed the format of this course and found it useful!

However, it's important to remember that reverse engineering is all about practice! In addition to numerous blog posts and related resources, there are plenty of executables available online for you to cut your teeth on, and it is easy to practice and develop your reverse engineering skills using free tools. Eventually, you may find yourself analyzing malware, or even making a living at it.

Even if you can't learn reverse engineering from books alone (or from reading a newsletter on your phone on the way to work), there are a few books out there that can give you a deeper insight into certain aspects:
