For students, hobbyists, and entry-level employees just starting out with reverse engineering. This class will take anyone from "zero" to "hero"! No prior knowledge of assembly, binary formats, or reverse engineering is required.

We'll explore what happens to source code when it gets compiled, what gets lost, and what's involved in recovering an understanding of that code. Students will learn how to leverage Binary Ninja to reverse engineer programs for any architecture. Examples from several popular machine code architectures will be provided (such as x86 and ARM) for students to learn when they need to inspect the disassembly and how to read it without needing to be an expert. Variable storage, register allocation, how the stack works, type recovery, basic vulnerability classes, and much more will all be covered. For more information, see the full syllabus.

This class, for experienced reverse engineers, leverages the latest in modern program analysis theory to simplify and automate many every-day reverse engineering tasks. We'll cover how to model high-level language patterns and identify them in binaries regardless of target architecture, automate source-to-sink analysis, build a collection of scripts to run on any binary you open to extract key program attributes, and so much more. We'll discuss how to use automation in long-term reverse engineering projects on large code bases and leverage user annotations to make incremental progress towards your goals, as well as batch processing to make quick, automated decisions and reports on binaries as they come in the door.

Students should be familiar with the stack, heap, assembly, and general reverse engineering concepts. For more information, see the full syllabus.
