Summary

You have seen the myriad ways in which we can work with assembly language programming and disassembly analysis in the Windows environment by using VC++ IDE. Understanding the tool chain and the operation modes, as well as proper configuration is paramount to facilitating a proper programming process. You have seen how each line in the disassembled code of a compiled binary can be deconstructed and a sample of how both high-level logic and opcode-level analysis can be investigated. You will be doing more assembly programming and analysis as we progress with the material. With a sound introduction to the fundamentals, you can now explore disassembly for malware in the next chapter for a static analysis, which has a tendency to be quite convoluted.
