Testimonials
Eric G.
This was a really nice intro to Cutter. I felt that it was more of an intermediate-level course that built well upon Mr. Paul Chin's "Reverse Engineering Course: x64dbg Tutorial" course. I was initially drawn to this course because of the new "reverse debugging" while tracing feature I had heard about in Cutter. I was surprised to also learn about Cutter's variable renaming, decompiling, and multi-platform abilities. I also appreciated Mr. Paul Chin walking us through Cutter's powerful Rizin console since I think I definitely would have missed that on my own.
I learned some new general debugging tips too, like how shorter/longer graphical analysis paths could indicate failed/passing checks. It was also nice to see a method for commenting while doing memory register/pointer tracing that I know I'll be borrowing to do more crackme challenges.
I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone interested in a great into to Cutter. I'm excited to have a new Windows/Linux debugger in my toolbox.
