pReview topics ranging from Intel x64 assembly language instructions and writing programs in assembly language, to pointers, live debugging, and static binary analysis of compiled C and C code. This book is ideal for Linux desktop and cloud developers. p pUsing the latest version of Debian, you'll focus on the foundations of the diagnostics of core memory dumps, live and postmortem debugging of Linux applications, services, and systems, memory forensics, malware, and vulnerability analysis. This requires an understanding of x64 Intel assembly language and how C and C compilers generate code, including memory layout and pointers. p pThis book provides the back-ground knowledge and practical foundations you'll need in order to master internal Linux program structure and behavior. It consists of practical step-by-step exercises of increasing complexity with explanations and ample diagrams. You'll also work with the GDB debugger and use it for disassembly and reversing. p pBy the end of th
