My god, 1000+ pages. What a great submission though. I wonder what kind of things keep such people motivated to write one fuckin' thousand and eighty two pages about assembly!? This is nuts.

I don’t think it’s nuts to share such depth of knowledge. I greatly welcome the knowledge, too. I legitimately am wondering what sort of project I could take up that would be “small enough”, only do-able in asm/c, and interesting.

wow - impressive. In the intro of the book, yes, its a book - there is a call for proof read (English and Russian) and translators, will accept work no matter how small and credit. now that's cool. when I get a few minutes between meetings i'm going to see if I can find anything to contribute and submit. I absolutely love the tone of the book! what a cool guy.

This seems to the same text as the author's Reverse Engineering for Beginners ( https://beginners.re/ ) https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=beginners.re

Fun fact: both books have precisely 1082 pages.

Think "nuts" was used as an endearing compliment there. Like "insane" in the sense of "insanely good".

Great share. I have been curious about assembly languages for a while. Hopefully it’s not to technical for someone without a CS background.

13 year old kids figure it out. I was one of them, and I'm an idiot more days than I care to admit. Granted, it was 6502 assembly, but later I'd be able to sift my through x86, before it went completely nuts.
