Chapter 1, Setting Up the Lab, explains how to set up a test lab for working through the recipes in this book.
Chapter 2, 32-Bit Assembly on Linux and the ELF Specification, will introduce 32-bit Intel assembly on Linux and the ELF specification for 32-bit systems.
Chapter 3, 64-Bit Assembly on Linux and the ELF Specification, will introduce 64-bit Intel assembly on Linux and the ELF specification for 64-bit systems.
Chapter 4, Creating a Binary Analysis Methodology, explains how to establish a fundamental analysis methodology and situations where some steps may be skipped.
Chapter 5, Linux Tools for Binary Analysis, will introduce you to common tools used in binary analysis.
Chapter 6, Analyzing a Simple Bind Shell, reinforces the skills gained in the previous chapter by having you analyze a 32-bit bind shell binary.
Chapter 7, Analyzing a Simple Reverse Shell, enhances your understanding of the skills and tools you have been learning about by teaching you how to analyze a 64-bit reverse shell.
Chapter 8, Identifying Vulnerabilities, includes recipes using the tools and skills learned in previous chapters to identify basic vulnerabilities in binaries.
Chapter 9, Understanding Anti-Analysis Techniques, has recipes that reinforce basic anti-analysis techniques and how to overcome them.
Chapter 10, A Simple Reverse Shell with Polymorphism, takes you through an obfuscated reverse shell analysis.
Appendix, Dynamic Taint Analysis: The 30,000 FT View, presents a very high-level and basic understanding of binary instrumentation and dynamic taint analysis. This chapter will serve as a jumping-off point into other binary analysis books that look deeper into the topic.
