Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables AI assistants to securely communicate with external tools, making it possible to automate complex software analysis and reverse engineering tasks. By integrating large language models with debuggers, disassemblers, and development environments, MCP enhances productivity, accelerates vulnerability research, and simplifies binary analysis. This course provides a practical guide to building AI-assisted reverse engineering workflows using leading industry tools.

This course begins with the fundamentals of MCP, including installation, configuration, communication protocols, and supporting tools. You will then integrate AI with x64dbg, build custom crackmes, automate debugging tasks, and develop MCP servers using Python. The course continues with session management, register manipulation, memory operations, GUI-based crackmes, ASLR modification, and enabling AI agents to interact with virtual machines. Advanced modules cover implementing MCP tools through AI-assisted coding, practical reverse engineering scenarios, MCP optimization, running local LLMs, and integrating MCP with .NET, Ghidra, GhidrAssist, IDA Pro, Cutter, Frida, and DeepSeek for comprehensive AI-powered binary analysis.

By the end of this course, you will be able to build and use AI-powered MCP workflows to automate reverse engineering, debugging, and binary analysis tasks.
