This is the discussion thread for the lesson "Unpacking with a Debugger" (Reverse Engineering and Malware Analysis, Unit 5). Ask questions, share real-world examples, and help classmates who are stuck.
Conversation starters. Try explaining one of these in your own words:
- Explain why PUSHAD/POPAD enables the ESP hardware breakpoint technique
- Apply the ten-step ESP breakpoint procedure in x32dbg to reach the OEP
- Recognise the OEP by the standard compiler prologue pattern
