Hi Vins, I am fairly new to the world of reverse engineering. I have found that the basics can be found on University websites, such as: http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/sigmil/RevEng/ These are a good place to start (it will by no means give you every thing you need). They provide at least a theoretical base. I have also found that a knowledge of C and x86 assembly are a good basis. Specifically for web products it seems that python is becoming rather popular and might be something to look at. I am sure there are others on the list that have many better ideas, but I hope this helps a little bit. v/r Sarah On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 9:03 PM, Vin Oxious <vinoxious () gmail com> wrote:
