The upcoming “Assembly x64/x86 1” training by Alexandre Borges is scheduled for October 4, 2025. This course is designed for professionals looking to enhance their reverse engineering and malware analysis skills.
Course Highlights:
- Fundamentals of x86/x64 Assembly for reverse engineering.
- Writing simple Assembly routines and understanding Stack & Calling Conventions.
- Decoding opcodes and recognizing loops/conditionals in disassembly.
- Analyzing real-world malware code and interpreting malicious logic.

You Should Know:
Essential Assembly Commands & Tools
1. Basic x86/x64 Assembly Instructions
mov eax, 5 ; Move value 5 into EAX register add ebx, eax ; Add EAX to EBX sub ecx, 1 ; Decrement ECX by 1 jmp label ; Jump to a label (unconditional branch) cmp eax, ebx ; Compare EAX and EBX je equal ; Jump if equal (conditional branch)
2. Disassembling Binaries with GDB
gdb ./malware_sample disass main ; Disassemble the main function x/10i $pc ; Examine 10 instructions at Program Counter break 0x8048000 ; Set a breakpoint at a specific address run ; Execute the program
3. Analyzing Malware with Radare2
r2 -AAA ./malware_sample ; Open binary in Radare2 with auto-analysis afl ; List all functions pdf @main ; Disassemble the main function iz ; List strings in the binary
4. Debugging with x64dbg (Windows)
- Load the executable in x64dbg.
- Set breakpoints on suspicious API calls (
CreateFileA,WriteProcessMemory). - Trace execution flow using Step Into (F7) and Step Over (F8).
5. Extracting Opcodes with Objdump
objdump -d -M intel malware_sample | less
6. Recognizing Common Malware Patterns
- Process Injection: Look for
VirtualAllocEx,WriteProcessMemory,CreateRemoteThread. - Persistence: Check registry modifications (
RegSetValueEx). - Anti-Debugging:
IsDebuggerPresent,NtQueryInformationProcess.
What Undercode Say
Mastering Assembly x86/x64 is crucial for reverse engineering and malware analysis. Understanding low-level execution helps in:
– Decrypting packed malware.
– Bypassing anti-analysis tricks.
– Writing shellcode and exploits.
Expected Output:
A deep understanding of Assembly, malware disassembly, and debugging techniques for cybersecurity professionals.
Prediction
As malware becomes more sophisticated, reverse engineering skills will be in higher demand. Future malware may use AI-based obfuscation, requiring advanced Assembly analysis techniques.
