At a fundamental level, the Windows Timeline is nothing but putting the what and when together of the user’s activities on a Windows system. The Windows Timeline is an […]
Prologue In the previous blogpost, we reverse engineered a binary and extracted the password from within it. This binary however contained a plaintext password. This was good to start for beginners, but you won’t really find such types of binaries in today’s world. In real life, passwords are mostly obfuscated or encrypted. Most of the […]
As you might already be aware that ARM powers a variety of low-powered devices around us, including but not limited to, phones, routers, IoT devices, etc. Therefore, it is only logical to dig into this architecture and understand how it differs from x86 and x64 architectures. For this blog post, we will focus on 64bit […]
Prologue In the previous blog here, we reverse engineered a simple binary containing plaintext password in Linux with the help of GNU Debugger (GDB). In this blog however, we will be using the same source code of the binary but compile and debug it in Windows. Reverse engineering tools in Windows are highly different from […]
Prologue The main focus of this blog is to give a push start to the beginners to get in the field of reverse engineering. Since this is the age of x64, I have skipped x86 architecture and will solely be focusing on x64 assembly. However, all the examples that will be written in C++ can […]
