Reverse Engineering with AI
Learn practically to decompile, analyze, and rebuild software using Claude, Ghidra, and Frida
This book is 100% completeLast updated on 2026-10-28
Across every chapter in this book, we'll look at real software, break it down and put it back together again so we can use it. We'll encounter a stripped binary, a scrambled algorithm, an undocumented file format, a mobile app protecting its backend, a web client, a hardened sample that fights back, and a live protocol whose secrets only exist while it's running. We're not stopping at one clever trick either. We'll get the job done to a standard that's verifiable and someone else can trust.

About the Book
This book is a no-nonsense, hands-on guide to getting to the bottom of how real software works from the inside out, with an AI assistant there to help you at every step. All of this is done across eleven projects, where you take apart a mystery binary, recover a hidden algorithm, open an undocumented file format, map mobile and web backends, defeat obfuscation and anti-analysis, reverse a live network protocol, and rebuild a feature lawfully through clean-room practice.
The theme of this book is that every chapter is like a total reversal experiment, and you can see the results for all of them. Whether it's a working parser, a reproduced request, a client that speaks the protocol, or a reimplementation that's been validated, it's all there for you to test out. The book teaches you to drive Ghidra, IDA Pro, JADX and Frida through Claude, turning raw machine code into readable logic, and to always verify the assistant's output against ground truth rather than trusting it blindly.
Key Learnings

About the Author
GitforGits | Asian Publishing House
We are the engineer’s publisher, the coder’s mentor, and the content alchemist—meticulously turning dense tech into practical gold. With a growing library of 100+ titles, we don’t just develop technical books, rather we build roadmaps for professionals across Python, MySQL, DevOps, Rust, AI, Kotlin, Arduino, Golang and everything around the massive IT ecosystem. Every chapter, every script, every project is a tool in the hands of developers who want to get things done.
Where others summarize, we construct step-by-step learning blueprints, cutting through clutter, banning the fluff, and ensuring every paragraph delivers hands-on value. Our audience isn’t learning from scratch—they’re leveling up with purpose, and we stand by them with code-first content, consistent project workflows, and a zero-redundancy approach.
Earn $8 on a $10 Purchase, and $16 on a $20 Purchase
We pay 80% royalties on purchases of $7.99 or more, and 80% royalties minus a 50 cent flat fee on purchases between $0.99 and $7.98. You earn $8 on a $10 sale, and $16 on a $20 sale. So, if we sell 5000 non-refunded copies of your book for $20, you'll earn $80,000.
