Course Description

If you had always wanted to learn how use x64dbg to reverse engineer and debug software, then this is the course for you.

x64dbg is one of the most popular modern debugger in use today and has superseded OllyDbg.  It is used for Reverse Engineering, Malware Analysis and Software Debugging. In this course we will learn x64dbg by solving a simple CrackMe challenge.  A CrackMe is a small program designed to test a programmer's reverse engineering skills. This course is an introduction to Reverse Engineering for anyone who wants to get started in this field. It is suitable for software developers who want to learn how software works internally and also for reverse engineers who want to fix bugs where the source code is not available. This course will equip you with the knowledge and skill to use x64dbg in addition to whatever other tools you might already be familiar. It is also suitable for absolute beginners with no knowledge of reversing, as I will take you from zero to hero.

What you will learn:

  • How to disassemble programs into assembly code

  • Dynamic Analysis

  • Setting breakpoints and stepping through code

  • Modify program behaviour

  • Patching programs

Money back guarantee:

This course is backed by a 30-day money back guarantee.  So, go ahead and enroll in this course now and start reverse engineering and debugging programs the fun and easy way!

I am a complete beginner when it comes to reverse engineering, coming to it as a hobby learner. Paul Chin has become my favorite instructor on the subject. I am also taking his Assembly Language for Beginners. I found this course and the other course very helpful as first steps. I can tell there is still a lot more I need to know on the subject, but I like how these courses are slower paced with good examples.

This is a nice beginner course. not more than that. if you already took other courses and know your way around it might be a good idea to start in the next Paul Chin course. a lot of the material is repeated, and for a learner who is completely new to this field this is nice BUT for someone who knows its ways around it would require to skip a lot of parts.

Really enjoyed this course. The instructor clearly presents the concepts. I've no previous knowledge of reverse engineering but found the course very interesting - I have now purchased some of the other courses in the Reverse Engineering series and really looking forward to learning more !

By Okan Akyuz on 12/8/2023

The course is good for beginners. I was using ollydbg and softice about 20-25 years ago during Windows 98 (I don't know if Softice or its clone still exists). I saw this course while browsing. I purchased this and all the other courses of the tutor. While watching the course, I was able to rent a few level 1 cracks. ( I do still know assembler). I deducted one star for a few reasons. I sometimes found the instructor's accent odd. The second reason is that you spend 2 hours on a subject that you can learn in 15 minutes by explaining it at great length. With this logic, the entire 18-hour training could be completed in 3-4 hours.

Nice pace for beginners. I found it useful to learn x64dbg tool but I was more comfortable already with assembly, what is a NOP, how the memory works and command execution order, so at times it felt really slow-paced. Regardless, the purpose I had, to learn a bit more about the tool, was accomplished.

Best course I have taken so far in debugging... Well explained. You need to have little assembly knowledge though as the assembly part is just a refresher as the author said. But overall, this was a great course and I got some more from him as I am taking a Malware Analysis class and this course is just right on point. I recommend all Paul classes to anyone who wants a solid foundation and a step-by-step, well-explained tutorial. Thank you again, Paul ...

I wanted to learn GDB for linux and accidentally signed up for this class. But still decided to give it shot, so that i can understand GDB using windows. The course content though basic, it is well done and give you enough confidence to take it to the next level.

By Ben Beale on 6/5/2021

Really good content, but I had previously purchased this instructor's full "Software Ethical Hacking - How to Crack Software Legally" course before he took it off of Udemy. This course is simply the first 10 sections of the full course, now available only on his website. Unfortunately, Udemy would not let me request a refund, based on how much of the course I had watched, but that is a platform issue and I do not hold that against the instructor. TLDR: You can skip this one if you have the full course.

So far it's bringing back memories from my old days of cracking.
