Buffer overflow is a vulnerability where a program tries to store more data in a buffer than it can hold, potentially overwriting important data or enabling an attacker to execute malicious code. While these attacks are becoming less common due to better security practices, understanding buffer overflows is still vital for beginners in cybersecurity. They...
Hey everyone! In the previous blog (part 2 of the “Intro to Software Reverse Engineering”), we covered a walk-through of a challenge from crackmes.one. We’ll be continuing our series on software reverse engineering with a walkthrough of another challenge from crackmes.one. The description of this challenge is as follows: Guess the password without brute-forcing. No...
In our previous blog (part 1 of the “Intro to Software Reverse Engineering” series), we covered the basics of Reverse Engineering. In this blog (part 2 of the same series), we’ll be covering a walk-through of a challenge from crackmes.one. This challenge is an x86 binary executable which we’ll attempt to reverse engineer using OllyDBG. As...
Software Reverse Engineering is the process through which one attempts to understand a program’s functionality by analyzing its code. In this blog (part 1 of the “Intro to Software Reverse Engineering” series), we’ll delve into Reverse Engineering x86 Windows applications. OllyDbg is the tool we are going to utilize for x86 binary analysis and debugging....
