Reverse Engineering
This book is on Reverse Engineering of computer software.
Disclaimer: This book aims to be a guide for the practice of reverse engineering. Concepts and examples discussed in the book will be LEGAL unless otherwise noted. All discussions of illegal reverse engineering (hacking or cracking) will be accompanied by sections describing security measures that can prevent such illegal activity. Reverse Engineering has many legal uses, and is an invaluable tool for software developers to find and correct mistakes in software, and these uses will be stressed above all other topics.
Note to Contributers
The offical topic of this book is "Legal Reverse Engineering." Any material that doesn't fit that description should not be included in this book (although I suppose you are more than welcome to write about that kind of stuff anywhere else you desire). This book is not a showcase for security exploits, hacks, cracks, or other malicious intentions.
