So you want be a Reverser? This is the best tutorial with the best tools ever coupled!!


What is Reverse Engineering?
-Reverse engineering, also called back engineering, is the processes of extracting knowledge or design information from anything man-made and re-producing it or reproducing anything based on the extracted information.(Thanks Wikipedia)


So here we go

I am a noob reverser i learned much from all this :) i hope you too

While I'm sure that some of these are outdated, it should at least give you a headstart (by pointing you in the right direction). That doesn't mean, however, that they are ALL outdated.

GIVE me REP++ IF I HELPED :)
