Binary Analysis Patterns

Comprehensive patterns and techniques for analyzing compiled binaries, understanding assembly code, and reconstructing program logic.

When to Use This Skill

- Reverse-engineering an unknown executable to understand its behavior

- Analyzing malware or obfuscated binaries with Ghidra / IDA Pro / Binary Ninja

- Recognizing common assembly idioms (function prologues, switch tables, vtable dispatch)

- Reconstructing high-level control flow from compiled code

- Identifying compiler-introduced patterns (stack canaries, PIC trampolines)
