  • Practical Binary Analysis covers major binary analysis topics including binary formats, disassembly, and advanced techniques like binary instrumentation and symbolic execution.
  • Available in multiple languages: Polish, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese (Mandarin).
  • Includes a virtual machine with all examples and software; username and password are 'binary'.
  • Important to update the VM using a specific command to fix errata; avoid updating the OS or software packages manually.
  • Code samples can be run on platforms other than the VM, but some tools like libdft are not compatible with Windows.
  • Triton and libdft depend on older Pin versions, making them challenging to run on modern Linux distros.
  • Downloads include virtual machine, code samples, patches, and sample chapters.
  • Errata can be reported to No Starch Press or the author.
  • Community contributions include CTF walkthroughs, exercise solutions, and custom tools.
  • Contact the author via email or PGP key for questions or comments.
