Course Overview

Ghidra is a powerful tool used for Reverse Engineering, Malware Analysis, and Exploit Analysis. If you have never used Ghidra before and want to learn how to get started with using Ghidra to reverse engineer and analyze programs, then this is the course for you.

In this course, we will learn Ghidra by solving Linux and Windows CrackMe challenges. A CrackMe is a small program designed to test a programmer's reverse engineering skills. This course is an introduction to Reverse Engineering for anyone who wants to get started in this field. It is suitable for software developers who want to learn how the software works internally and for reverse engineers who want to understand how Linux and Windows binaries work.
