Very much recommended if you are into hacking, reverse engineering, debugging, ... and are not afraid from assembler...

Great introduce to Reverse Engineering world.

Cannot give less than 5 stars.
I didn't read it cover to cover but skimmed over some parts, because I'm not that interested in the resulting assembler code. Anyway, the book is full of insights, even if you are not interested in RE.

A must read book in RE.

Probably the longest technical book I've ever read. I feel so powerful

In my opinion, too hard for beginners.

Úžasná kniha. Cca před 15 lety byl mnohem větší problém najít nějaký solidní úvod do reverse engineeringu, ve kterém by byly zajímavé a netriviální "příklady". A dnes si začátečníci mohou navíc stáhnout volně dostupnou GHIDRU a nemusejí crackovat/ kupovat IDU Pro.:) Škoda, že současná edice knihy GHIDRU nepoužívá.
