Testimonials
Tatjana J.
Like all courses from this instructor, this is very good and fun to do. Knowing x64dbg and (some) Assembly is useful if you want to try the CrackMes on your own before seeing the instructor's solution.
Nicholas B.
Yet another great course and experience! This time I learned so much in so little time. The amount of content you are able to jam into each online course is very intelligent and efficient. Once again, content is organized and managed effectively so as not to make the content or the lectures boring and lose focus. Assignments are fun and engaging enough to want to complete them for a sense of satisfaction.
Michael S.
This is my favourite course in Paul Chin's series of reverse engineering courses thus far. It teaches some really useful things and I highly recommend it. Thank you Mr Chin.
