At this point, we should have a lab set up, a good grasp of IA32 and IA64, and a methodology we can use, and we should be familiar with some of the tools we can use for analysis. It's time we put all of that introductory knowledge to good use and analyze our first binary. We'll keep this one simply because I really want us to focus on recognizing and reading the disassembled binary. Without giving too much away, we will see right away where some of our tools will fall short in their output and how to recognize their shortcomings. From this point on, we will use our methodology and associated tools to accomplish each phase of analysis. If there is something that isn't clear in the writing or your output, use that as an opportunity to really learn by doing extra research on your own until you understand whatever was unclear.
I realize...
