These are the best I know, but there are also:

In addition it is suggested get some specific books about system internals, certain tools, certain file formats, and malware in general. E.g.:


And don't forget books about assembly. You will need them.

You should read the question again. (http://fun.resplace.net/Emoticons/smiley/DOH.gif)
Being precise is especially beneficial for programmers and reverse engineers.

These are the best I know, but there are also:
  • Practical Reverse Engineering: x86, x64, ARM, Windows Kernel, Reversing Tools, and Obfuscation
  • Malware Analyst's Cookbook

I have this books too, though I have not read any of those two yet. But I can provide the links for ease here:

If you start with this book, you won't need another book on the topic in a long time.

So you've read it. Why should I read it? Why is it better than the others?

Are these books for all types of reverse engineering or geared towards either software or hardware?

Not for all architectures. Only for ARM (including Thumb), x86, x86-64.

I would definitely go with Practical Malware Analysis. It has labs that you can do that progressively get harder as you get more experienced as well as an accompanying website where you can download the sample lab malware. Also, this is a good webinar with Michael Sikorski and Andrew Honig (The guys who wrote it) that has some good info to help get you started. They both are top Malware researchers/analysts from Mandiant. So it's safe to say that they know what there talking about.

I hope this helps.

Hi , I think there are a lot of good books are published on the internet but I think you should start it with Lena's reverse enginnering tutorial because it shows you the power of reverse enginnering and of course the basics of reverse engineering.  You can download it from tuts4u. It is a very good primer for everyone :)

A lot of good articles can be found on  infosec resources : http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/category/reverse-engineering-2/ .

Tuts4u is also a good site : https://tuts4you.com/download.php

RCE forum is also a good site : http://www.woodmann.com/forum/content.php

Just in case any of you still interested in the book:
Practical Reverse Engineering: x86, x64, ARM, Windows Kernel, Reversing Tools, and Obfuscation

Here is a download link to it as I was unable to obtain it from the previous post:
