Course Overview

If you have always wanted to learn how to reverse engineer a program and understand how it works from the inside out, then this is the course for you. Except for IDA Pro, many other debuggers out there are not capable of performing graphical representations of disassembled software. x64dbg however can do it. It can disassemble a program and also represent it as a graphical representation. This makes it ideal as a free tool to perform what IDA Pro can do, i.e., static analysis. The hidden power of x64dbg lies in its ability to run a live debugging session simultaneously with graphical static analysis.

The course begins with Section 1, offering an introduction to static analysis. Section 2 guides participants through the installation of x64dbg, including the xAnalyzer Plugin setup. Section 3 focuses on graphical static analysis, detailing how to disassemble and generate a graphical view using x64dbg. Section 4 encourages hands-on experience through practice in graphical static analysis and file patching. Moving to Section 5, the course covers static analysis on 64-bit programs, introducing 64-bit registers and providing practical exercises, including solving an easy 64-bit crackme. The section concludes with useful commands for the x64 graphical tool, offering a comprehensive exploration of static analysis techniques.

By the end of the course, you will have mastered static analysis using x64dbg for program disassembly and patching.
