Reverse engineering guide for beginners: Methodology and tools
I'd love to know more about disassembly. I've recently had more and more reason to go deeper into applications I'm running as dependencies. A few issues I've found and fixed just by using strace to get an idea of the system calls.There was one thing in particular where I knew there was a jump somewhere (if some_length I wanted something that could give me a few seconds worth of samples of where the instruction register was spending its time as a starting point, but couldn't find any such tool (linux).Within my control:    - giving input files to explicitly set unique numbers to watch out for
    - giving inputs that would generate bad output numbers only in the bad code path
    - giving inputs to force a load of jumps down the bad or good code paths

Does anyone have any advice on how you might approach such a situation?
