+1 for mentioning malwareunicorns Reverse Engineering Malware 101 course. I'm pretty excited about starting that after I'm done with some Powershell stuff.

Books for: /u/Kreator333 and /u/curiousdoggo

C/C++:

  • The C Programming Language (2nd Edition) - K&R is fine for fundementals.

  • Pointers on C the sections on pointers are phenomenal. The author explains them in great depth with lots of examples.

  • TBH I haven't learned C++ yet but this definitive guide/list looks promising.

    Assembly/C:

  • Hacking The Art of Exploitation 2nd Edition. Mainly the chapter on programming which pretty much has everything you need. It can get you started with C and ASM and how they compare by stepping through examples using GDB, etc.. Read this if you really want to hit the ground running and then jump into those other books you mentioned OP.

    Also OP while your learning the basics here do as many examples as you can. Don't just read it and assume you know everything. For C you can try coding a bunch of classical ciphers and for ASM, debug the assembly of simple programs in gdb. (check out godbolt) or try coding a echo client/server in Nasm.

For a beginner I'd recommend Programming in C, it's written in a clear and readable way, with useful exercises, and does a great job explaining the basic stuff.

Secondly, Pointers on C is a fantastic second book, and very much underrated. Much more focused around pointers and memory, and integrates that stuff into it's code examples from the start. This book was massively useful to me when I wan learning, but, it can be hard to get a copy for a reasonable price.

Agreed, C Programming A Modern Approach, 2dn edition is the textbook I would recommend if you want to learn C, K&R is classic , but it lacks a lot details in C which are coverd in books like Pointers on C and C Traps and Pitfalls, C Programming A Modern Approach, 2dn edition covers most, if not all, of them.

Actually, I thought you were referring to: Pointers on C by Kenneth Reek.

I'll check yours, too.
