Description
If you had always wanted to learn how software protection works and how to use x64dbg to unpack them, then this is the course for you. This course is an introduction to Software Protection for anyone who wants to get started in this field. It is suitable for software developers who want to learn how to protect their software and also for reverse engineers who want to fix bugs where the source code is not available.
You will learn how to use x64dbg to unpack Crackmes protected with packing and anti-debugging. A CrackMe is a small program designed to test a programmer's reverse engineering skills.
What you will learn
How to set hardware breakpoints and analyze the unpacking header stub
Dumping unpacked executable from memory
Fixing Import Address Tables (IAT) after dumping memory.
Modify program behaviour
Patching programs
Creating loaders for process patching
What if the program cannot be unpacked
3 techniques to unpack multiple protections
Prerequisites:
Before taking this course, you should already be familiar with how to use x64dbg.
