Python for Reverse Engineers Training
Python Reverse Engineering is geared towards the reverse engineer and introduces the Python language with a focus on using it to accelerate, automate, and optimize reverse engineering tasks. The course begins with an introduction to Python and a review of object types and flow statements, and then delves into file operations, modules, working with the CTypes library for interaction with Windows operating systems, debugging, and IDA scripting.
