Master the essentials of assembly language, binary analysis, and debugging techniques for x86-64 systems. Develop the skills to read, write, and analyze low-level code using powerful tools and real-world examples.
This course covers the core topics of assembly language programming, including registers, memory addressing, and instruction sets. You will learn to write and disassemble assembly programs, debug binaries, and analyze data types and executable formats for both Linux and Windows. The course also introduces you to advanced tools like IDA Pro and Data Display Debugger, empowering you to understand and manipulate binaries with confidence. Step-by-step video walkthroughs and targeted readings guide you through practical examples and real-world scenarios. Quizzes help solidify your understanding as you build expertise in low-level programming and binary analysis. This course is part two of a three-course Specialization designed to build a complete and cohesive understanding of the subject. While it offers valuable skills on its own, you'll gain the most benefit by progressing through all three courses as a structured learning journey.
