Wow. After watching the whole series I was stoked to try and do the crackme. I managed to understand the program quite well, and even though I eventually looked at a write-up to actually get the flag, I knew exactly what to do and had traversed the rest of the program no problem, so I am calling that a win! Thank you again so much jeff for giving me the confidence to properly start trying reverse engineering, it has been extremely fun.

That is called power of knowledge

jeff you are such a talented creator. thank you. your content is the highest quality ive found.

thanks for making these videos, great to see your process for doing this, you got me reinterested in RCT! just installed reshade and trying to improve the graphics, good times!

If it is written in x86 assembly, that means it is technically source available....

Hey man, I just wanted to say your channel is an absolute gem regarding RE and it's to be quite honest one of the best resources out here on youtube and I'm really wondering how your channel is not bigger. Keep up great work!

the easiest way for Anyone, and I mean absolutely Anyone, to learn assembly and reverse engineering at the same time, is to write some simple c code snippets, then to debug them.

I can't believe the hidden flag was on the last place I looked. I was getting discouraged. Thanks for making this, I really hope you make more. I'd buy you a coffee if you had superthanks enabled on the video.

Honestly I'm so sorry that there's been only 3 episodes of this masterpiece, but I'm so grateful for those 3 anyway. Thanks for the content

guys...his name is jeff

this is a really great video but near the end i thought you were going todo something like, an exe that if you launch it apply the patches to the game but don't make permanent changes to the original exe. i don't know if you already have a video on your channel but it would be great for modding

Awesome content mate. I love you.

good job !!!

im gonna watch this without missing 1 second. You are really valuable person in this life, thanks for sharing this with us.

...dude. :)

great video as always your channel is the best for deep dives on cybersecurity Congragulations on the third kid

amazing bro <3

Thanks for being here! As always, I’ll post any updates or corrections to this pinned comment. Hope you enjoy! Update 12APR24: <24 hours after this is posted, improvements are already being made to the parser - thanks to some of your suggestions! I'll only be posting major updates to this comment, but check out the "Issues" tab of the GitHub repo in the description to see all of the changes made over time to the parser. Update 24APR24: One of the most significant updates to this parser was the ability to brute-force the config when the VerifyHash() function marker is not present - check out the changes here: github.com/jeFF0Falltrades/rat_king_parser/commit/339744aae63b48f019e3552e6e8e579b09e08382

is it common for client machines to have python installed?

Hey, I'm a fourth year comp sci student and just wanted to say that I loved the series and the videos were really helpful. We used ARMv8 so I wasn't a beginner by any means, but I thought that your explanations were great and fit in well with my current knowledge base. You also really broke down the use of the tool chain well which allowed me to experiment on my own with your crackme challenge. This actually was a great exercise because it allowed me to see where my knowledge gaps were when I was trying it on my own and in turn i could go back and reference the video. I must admit that ghidra has some quarks compared to watching others use IDA, but 5k for the pro version that comes with a decompiler is too much for educational exploration. Thank you so much for this.

Great video, and very interesting to see the process. One recommendation would be to change the names of the variables and functions in Ghidra as you go. It will make the program become more readable over time, as you discover what everything does.

How did you add nullbytes in 45:46?

can you reverse engineer a slot machine if you know how much its programmed to pay out and know the seed is constantly changing for time of day

My knowledge didn't go beyond "Mitochondria is the power house of the cell."

yo man !! thank you <3

Show the intro to professor true brian

Just earned yourself a sub! This was a great video! I’m a computer engineering student really interested in malware analysis and reverse engineering and this series is so helpful!!

University offers Reverse Engineering courses? Where is that? Which one? I’m interested.

This is an amazing video full of important information. Thank you.

I searched for sooooo long a beginner friendly introduction to RE, thanks u so much for the content that you share, because great tutorials as yours are so rare. Btw your voice awesome, really chill.

Alright, loved the satire! when you got to "I don't see anything else happening in 2024..." I was like, dude, is only March! and then... it was satire😂. This I think is also something I enjoy about your content, you have a particular humor that I appreciate! Looking forward to what's coming!

Well done! I enjoyed watching this video a lot.

I learned a huge deal from you. I appreciate your work. Congratulations on becoming three. I know we'll see less of you. 😅 Enjoy

You rock! As I see it, we should all manage our channels, and subscriber count, according to our own interpretations of audience. One person's 10k might be another's 100. No hard rule aside from what is essentially marketing folly. Congrats on the birth, Dad ✌️

Okay, satire and bad acting aside: Obviously, I am overjoyed at this milestone and love you all, but nothing that happens this year will come close to welcoming our new daughter (who may as well have been a paid actor here - I was just going to pan down, but that crying had amazing comedic timing 😂). Thanks to all of you, truly, for the support! I have 1 new video and 1 new master0Fnone class in the hopper, but for now, I’m going to enjoy my parental leave with this little one ❤️

Your eyes are so majestic ❤

RE old good games from DOS/Win32 always be nice to see.

Thanks for video but the XP solitaire sourcecode is in the leaked XP sources available from internet. Im not promoting it but just telling the fact

Really impressive! Thanks for this HUGE info. I'm/was looking for info to reverse engineer an old Fortran program of 140kb. Those programs might help a lot.

Hey, how do you do that the x32dbg when dragged sol.exe on it opens the actual game window, on my side nothing happens. The process itself (the solitaire game) exists within x32dbg's process but there is no window for it.

i didn't know that this was what i wanted. entertaining. goodish pace (i don't know what i would want different). thanks. very much NOW MOAR DO IT NAO
