Assembly Language Crash Course

by Coleman Kane

I have two prior lectures that delve into detail about assembly language, and analyzing disassembly:

• Assembly Language Crash Course pt. 1
• Assembly Language Crash Course pt. 2

Additional Resources

Ghidra

In addition to the resources discussed in the above two posts, one tool that we will use for analyzing disassembly is Ghidra, which was released last year. This has become very popular over the course of the prior year, and we will be performing many of the examples using this instead of IDA Free.

Hopper

Another popular disassembler is Hopper, which is named after the famous Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, a legendary female computer scientist in the Navy, who pioneered work in compilers and the first compiled computer languages.
