What do I learn first?
—>>path 1:
1 ) visit http://video.reverse-engineering.net/ to view some reversing videos that train you in the RCE basis.
2 ) check http://www.crackmes.de/ to find some visual solution submitted for crackmes.
3 ) Try to repeat the shown steps, and reproduce them with other crackmes. This will bring you quickly to practice.
4 ) Learn ‘on-demand’ what you need to know over the time by using linked resources about languages, apis, forum etc. you can find in this section.
—>> path 2:
1 ) read http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ up to “Compound Data Types:” included
2 ) read http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/ up to “Graphics Device Interface” included (use the Win32 help file -below- to understand Win32 functions better)
3 ) Now you know the Win32 basis, select an Assembler Ebook/tutorial and start learning a bit of assembler -the more, the better.
4 ) Take Olly -below-, go to http://www.crackmes.de/ and select some crackme level 1
5 ) read the solution of 2-4 solved crackmes of level 1!!
6 ) select a solved crackme lvl1 and try to solve it. If you have problems, read the solution and TRY TO DO the steps of the solver.
7 ) goto 6 until you solve lvl1 crackmes very easily
8 ) Increase level difficulty by 1, goto 5!
