[?-HELP] Reverse enginering

[xLuckySzx]

I started studying reverse engineering a few days ago, I already know a bit of c#, c++ and the bases of other less known languages.
The problem is that I don't know where I should start...
I have read a few guides about reverse engineering, but I think I should study assembly before starting Reverse engineering.

I hope
 you can help me!

Google  reverse engineering for beginners.    Go Go gadget GOOOOOOOGGGGLLLLEEEEE

I meant: Do I need any particular knowledge before starting studying Reverse engineering?

I have only tinkered with it a small bit. If you know assembly it might help. 


You can do some crackme challenges also to learn .


Also here is some free videos to learn also with challenges

If you want to RE native binaries, yes, learn assembly before you start.

xLuckySzx, there is basic and advanced in re. In basic analysis you don't need any assembly for either static or dynamic (run time) analysis on malware/executable. However for "Advanced static analysis" you need to be able to read assembly.
By the way I liked the book Practical Malware Analysis, I think it's good to first learn some basic analysis and then going through assembly.
Wish you do well in re <3

I wanna extract algorithms for key generation from known programs, so I think I should learn assembly before, am I right? Anyways thank you for the replies.


EDIT: Now I am trying to crack LaFarge #2 crackme, but it seems still too early...
Has anyone got a good Assembly and RE guide? At the moment I can't find anything good... I have already finished the ones that white-knight suggested me, but I think they were too easy even though they were really well explained.

Did you try any books? take a look at the ez book index (https://evilzone.org/wiki/index.php/The_big_ebook_index), you'll probably find helpful books.
And one more thing, you can't find anything good? If you want to start with asm just go through a book! There are lots of them.
For assembly, myself, I liked the book "Programming Ground up" which teaches assembly att syntax. (I'm not sure about the full name of the book) It was good for starting and I didn't feel  tired while reading it (it wasn't hard).

[xLuckySzx]

Thank you again, I'll look for this book.
 I have tried to study Assembly with an application on my phone, but it was too complicated...
Is this the guide you meant? http://download-mirror.savannah.gnu.org/releases/pgubook/ProgrammingGroundUp-1-0-booksize.pdf

[hcac]

Yup, that's the one. That shouldn't look very complicated.
However learning assembly needs some patience. The complicated thing I think is the "Low level programming" and the language its self is simple (means don't give up in the begining).

[xLuckySzx]

ok ^^ Now I start reading

Lena's Tutorials are by far the best: https://tuts4you.com/download.php?list.17
(Site is down atm, I hope this changes soon).
LegendofRandom's tutorials were great too, but his site has been down for weeks. I don't think this will change. I believe tuts4you had his tutorials as download as well.

Try to get hands on this book:

[xLuckySzx]

I will also try these ones
