nixCraft 🐧Here is a meme that was shared by a group of disassembler enthusiasts.
Pit mit "Klatsch"👌
Rob@nixCraft how can I learn assembly? Is this still relevant today for reverse engineering?
Ron Bowes@Feynman @nixCraft I learned it by writing stuff and disassembling it, then trying to understand what it's doing. And yes, absolutely still relevant, even though a lot of enterprise software is Java, almost all of it has a bit of compiled code and that's usually where bugs live
If you check out the various work I did on https://skullsecurity.org/cv you'll see a ton of reversing
@nixCraft I’ll learn assembly on ARM on Raspberry Pi Pico. Remembered I had a course in college on MIPS (that I never went to) in CS.
Kadarus@nixCraft Server-side code still isn't though :3

LEdoian@nixCraft In a similar way, minified JavaScript can be considered to be open source…
Understanding and modifying it seems to be too much of a chore for me to even try. (Applies to both.)
gresakg@nixCraft assembly is not machine language. Assembly still needs to be compiled/interpreted.
alexandernikiBut it still not free/libre :(
Ministerofimpediments@nixCraft I had it in college and it was hands-down the best and most effective way to really screw something up…until I leaned C which allowed me to screw lots of things up at the same time.
It’ll teach you how a computer works though.

Robin Hartley@nixCraft I feel the wording needs "eve-e-e-entually" somewhere in there.

hexaheximal@nixCraft hate to ruin the fun, but:
- That's not open-source. Don't believe me? Read the definition for yourself: https://opensource.org/osd/
- It's not actually the real source code.
- A lot of EULAs actually don't allow reverse-engineering, so to do it legally you would have to fall under one of the situations where the law would override that (iirc security research is one of them)
