The open source release of the Ghidra disassembler presents a unique opportunity to those that want to get started in the field of reverse engineering. Ghidra provides users with a robust and configurable GUI that drives a very capable disassembler and decompiler. Beginners now have a capable and free toolset in which they can learn.While Ghidra has a robust set of features to aid in reverse engineering, it is large and complex enough to be intimidating to new users. In this talk, Wesley McGrew will help attendees out with the steep initial learning curve of Ghidra by using it to present the basic concepts of reverse engineering. Rather than using powerpoint slides, the Ghidra interface itself will be used in a live demonstration of reverse engineering undocumented code.Wesley will present the core technical requirements for reversing, including the basics of reading assembly, referencing processor and API documentation, and the linking and loading process. The focus, however, will be on methodology: navigating code and iteratively improving your understanding of a program. Resources for continuing your early self-study of reverse engineering will be recommended.
