+# Reverse Engineering
+
+Reverse engineering is the process of extracting information or design knowledge from
+anything that is man-made. The mechanisms within the field of reverse engineering are
+used in many applications including understanding malware, bridging software
+interoperability, and determining the strength of application code. <br>
+
+Knowledge of the usage of a disassembler is helpful to solve reverse engineering tasks. A
+disassembler is a tool that interprets a compiled program and produces the
+corresponding machine code that can be used for analysis. There are several
+disassemblers available including IDA and Ghidra (https://www.ghidra-sre.org). <br>
+
+A free evaluation version of IDA can be found at the following link: <br>

+Potential skills that may be necessary to solve reverse engineering tasks.
+- Basic understanding of how binary data is read and structured
+- How to programmatically read in binary data
+- How to handle low-level reads and writes
+- How to interpret raw data using a hexadecimal viewer
+- Understanding how the stack and heap is used with applications
+
+Below are potential examples of reverse engineering problems:
+- Password discovery
+- Breaking through obfuscation
+- Discovering DLL Injection
