On: Hackme: Deconstructing an ELF File

[jdthomas]

Any particular disassembler(s) you recommend? How about on other architectures; MIPS or ARM?

[angusgr → jdthomas]

For free (as in beer) you can get IDA Pro 5.0 (an older version than the latest.)

Not sure what architectures that version supports outside of x86 (the latest commercial version does ARM and the Advanced variant does MIPS.)

IDA Free has traditionally only supported x86 PE binaries, but I don't know if that's changed with the bump up to 5.0.

[0x0 → jdthomas]

Actually when I dabbled with disassemblers it was mostly on win32, where OllyDBG is nice.

But IDA is probably the best you can get. Haven't had a look at the new versions, but even the freeware version is useful (on windows at least)
