Assembly

Assembly is a 'must learn' programming language if one wants to crack or reverse engineer. It may seem hard to learn at first, but once you manage to grasp the main ideas, the rest will be easy. I have seen a few wannabes coming into #cracking4newbies at EFNet and said they want to crack without assembly knowledge (they already know how to write in overbloated languages like Visual Basic or Delphi). THIS IS A VERY BAD ATTITUDE AND SHOULD NOT BE CONTINUED. You can find the assembly tools in my Tools section.

Tutorials / Texts / Books

Registers, Memory, and how Assembly Language came to Mankind [ View ]
One of Mammon's Tales To His Grandson series. This, in my opinion, is the best document to help wannabe crackers get started with assembly language.

Links
Iczelion's Win32 Assembly Homepage [ View ]
Learn how to write Windows based programs using assembly language. A must for crackers, so that one will be familiar with the program flow, and also know what he/she is doing when in Softice ;). Iczelion is a member in the Coding section of a very famous cracking group, Phrozen Crew.
Mammon's Assembly Language Collection [ View ]
An EXTREMELY huge resource of assembly links and tutorials. Unfortunately, Mammon is a very busy man and he has closed this page down. Therefore, most of the links are outdated and broken. Mammon is a very talented reverser and his works must not be looked down upon.

This page have a few very good resources for assembly language, which includes the HTML version of Art of Assembly by Randall Hyde, 80x86 assembly language tutorial by Gavin Estey, 8086 family assembly language FAQ, A86 FAQ, Microsoft MASM FAQ and Borland TASM FAQ.
