either way I am not worried; I just need some way to learn IDA. That is not a priority now though. |
Reading this book wont harm you anyway . if you cant understand something just skip that part. Completely mastering IDA requires extensive knowledge in PE and windows internals and compiler documents etc.
I will just say, start with olly for debugging and use ida for diassembly purpose. Some people abuse the hexrays for its c++ pseucde generate ability but i will say just focus how to use ida to make things easier, not automated.
