Reverse Engineering with Python

Reactive Publishing

Unlock the secrets of compiled software with the most versatile tool in your programming arsenal-Python. This hands-on guide takes you deep into the world of reverse engineering, where code is broken down, analyzed, and rebuilt to reveal its true inner workings.

Whether you're a cybersecurity analyst, software developer, or hacker at heart, this book teaches you how to disassemble executables, analyze bytecode, decode obfuscated logic, and understand proprietary software. With step-by-step Python implementations, you'll master essential techniques like:

Static and dynamic binary analysis

Bytecode introspection and patching

Decompiling and reconstructing logic flow

Malware unpacking and behavioral forensics

API hooking and DLL injection

Writing custom tools with capstone, radare2, uncompyle6, frida, and more

Reverse Engineering with Python bridges the gap between theory and practical application-offering real-world examples, exercises, and use cases across Windows, Linux, and mobile binaries.

Rebuild what's broken. Decode what's hidden. Understand what was never meant to be understood.
