Foundations of Linux Debugging, Disassembling, and Reversing: Analyze Binary Code, Understand Stack Memory Usage, and Reconstruct C/C++ Code with Inte

Review topics ranging from Intel x64 assembly language instructions and writing programs in assembly language, to pointers, live debugging, and static binary analysis of compiled C and C++ code. This book is ideal for Linux desktop and cloud developers.

Using the latest version of Debian, you'll focus on the foundations of the diagnostics of core memory dumps, live and postmortem debugging of Linux applications, services, and systems, memory forensics, malware, and vulnerability analysis. This requires an understanding of x64 Intel assembly language and how C and C++ compilers generate code, including memory layout and pointers.

This book provides the back-ground knowledge and practical foundations you'll need in order to master internal Linux program structure and behavior. It consists of practical step-by-step exercises of increasing complexity with explanations and ample diagrams. You'll also work with the GDB debugger and use it for disassembly and reversing.

By the end of the book, you will have a solid understanding of how Linux C and C++ compilers generate binary code. In addition, you will be able to analyze such code confidently, understand stack memory usage, and reconstruct original C/C++ code. Foundations of Linux Debugging, Disassembling, and Reversing is the perfect companion to Foundations of ARM64 Linux Debugging, Disassembling, and Reversing for readers interested in the cloud or cybersecurity.

What You'll Learn

• Review the basics of x64 assembly language
• Examine the essential GDB debugger commands for debugging and binary analysis
• Study C and C++ compiler code generation with and without compiler optimizations
• Look at binary code disassembly and reversing patterns
• See how pointers in C and C++ are implemented and used

Who This Book Is For

Software support and escalation engineers, cloud security engineers, site reliability engineers, DevSecOps, platform engineers, software testers, Linux C/C++ software engineers and security researchers without Intel x64 assembly language background, beginners learning Linux software reverse engineering techniques, and engineers coming from non-Linux environments.

本書涵蓋了從Intel x64組合語言指令和編寫組合語言程式，到指標、即時調試和靜態二進制分析編譯的C和C++代碼等各種主題。這本書非常適合Linux桌面和雲端開發人員。

使用最新版本的Debian，你將專注於核心內存轉儲的診斷基礎、Linux應用程序、服務和系統的即時和事後調試、內存取證、惡意軟件和漏洞分析。這需要對x64 Intel組合語言以及C和C++編譯器生成代碼的理解，包括內存佈局和指標。

本書提供了你掌握內部Linux程序結構和行為所需的背景知識和實踐基礎。它由一系列漸進複雜的實踐步驟練習組成，並附有解釋和豐富的圖表。你還將使用GDB調試器進行反彙編和反向工程。

通過閱讀本書，你將對Linux C和C++編譯器如何生成二進制代碼有深入的理解。此外，你還將能夠自信地分析這樣的代碼，理解堆棧內存使用情況，並重構原始的C/C++代碼。《Linux調試、反彙編和反向工程基礎》是《ARM64 Linux調試、反彙編和反向工程基礎》的完美伴侶，適合對雲端或網絡安全感興趣的讀者。

你將學到什麼：

- 回顧x64組合語言的基礎知識
- 檢查GDB調試器的基本命令，用於調試和二進制分析
- 研究帶有和不帶有編譯器優化的C和C++編譯器代碼生成
- 查看二進制代碼的反彙編和反向工程模式
- 瞭解C和C++中指標的實現和使用方式

本書適合軟件支持和升級工程師、雲安全工程師、網站可靠性工程師、DevSecOps、平台工程師、軟件測試人員、Linux C/C++軟件工程師和沒有Intel x64組合語言背景的安全研究人員，以及從非Linux環境轉入的工程師。
