Practical Foundations of Linux Debugging, Disassembling, Reversing Dmitry Vostokov

This training course is a Linux version of the previous Practical Foundations of Windows Debugging, Disassembly, Reversing book. It also complements Accelerated Linux Core Dump Analysis training course.




Although the book skeleton is the same as its Windows predecessor, the content was revised entirely because of a different operating system, debugger (GDB), toolchain (GCC, assembler, linker), application binary interface, and even an assembly language flavor, AT& T.




The course is useful for:


Software technical support and escalation engineersSoftware engineers coming from JVM backgroundSoftware testersEngineers coming from non-Linux environments, for example, Windows or Mac OS XLinux C/C++ software engineers without assembly language backgroundSecurity researchers without assembly language backgroundBeginners learning Linux software reverse engineering techniques




This book can also be used as x64 assembly language and Linux debugging supplement for relevant undergraduate level courses.
