This is the code repository for Binary Analysis Cookbook , published by Packt.
Actionable recipes for disassembling and analyzing binaries for security risks
Binary analysis is the process of examining a binary program to determine information security actions. It is a complex, constantly evolving, and challenging topic that crosses over into several domains of information technology and security.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Traverse the IA32, IA64, and ELF specifications
- Explore Linux tools to disassemble ELF binaries
- Identify vulnerabilities in 32-bit and 64-bit binaries
- Discover actionable solutions to overcome the limitations in analyzing ELF binaries
- Interpret the output of Linux tools to identify security risks in binaries
- Understand how dynamic taint analysis works
