Thank you in advance.

In this chapter, we are going to look at dynamic reverse engineering. The first question is what is dynamic reverse engineering and how does it compare with static reverse engineering? What are the advantages and requirements of dynamic engineering? And how can you interact with a program that is executing on the chip while it is executing, look at (and change) memory content, alter the execution flow, step through the program instructions, and more?

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
