Where to start?
 

Hi all, havent been around for quite a while and have fallen behind a fair bit in reversing. would like some advice on what tools i should use these days. I suppose OllyDBG is still okay to use but on windows 7 there seems to be some issues same as imprec.. yep as you can see im probably miles behind.. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello cybercoder. I know all too well how difficult it is to get back up to speed after taking an extended leave from reverse engineering.

Ollydbg is still the best choice for x32 debugging, in my opinion. The new 2.0 version is becoming quite popular. It probably works better on an x64 computer(for debugging x32 targets) than version 1.10. If you are like me and prefer version 1.10, I suggest using the x64 compatibility mode setting in the Olly Advanced plugin.

If you are interested in debugging x64 applications, I would suggest trying the new Bugdbg. Though it is in a Pre-alpha stage, many are suggesting that it is quite powerful:

For import reconstruction, I will recommend Scylla. It works seamlessly on windows 7.

IDAPro+IDAStealth as debugger works very well. ImpRec also works fine for 32-bit applications, but Scylla can be used for both 32-bit and 64-bit applications.
