Too many screenshot, not detail explain enough, like a lab manual than a book
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Not recommended this book.
This book is approximately 270 pages long, but around 200 pages are comprised of screenshots, including IDA Pro screenshots, Virustotal result screens, lists of function names, and lists of DLL file names.
This book primarily shows you how to use the tools, which are illustrated mainly through screenshots of the tools' screens and results.
This is a well-structured lab manual that guides you through all the necessary screens and steps to locate the flag.
However, there are too many screenshots, and the concept is not explained in detail.
It is expected that you will have a basic understanding to follow the lab manual.
And this is not colour printing, and the photo was resized, making it a bit hard to read the screenshot details.
If you are at the GREM level, you may already be familiar with using the tools.
Unless you want a quick refresher on your lab skills.
