Hacker News Reader

Yeah, I've been interested in learning assembly/reverse engineering/ghidra at some stage, but reading stuff like this by people who understand what a computer's doing to this level makes me despair for my own lack of knowledge.

You can always learn! You're just a few books away from the knowledge.

Which books?

I think the raw reverse engineering knowhow generally comes from reading and writing low level code and reverse engineering other people's.

Atop of that you also need understanding of computer architecture, for which I vaguely recommend Hen.&Pat. but again you get this knowledge by playing around mainly.

A bit of compiler design would help too if you want to write one of these - Engineering a compiler is a good one.

I hope those same people are looking into the M1 SSD mystery.

What mystery?
