I'm not gonna larp. I only do static and dynamic analysis to do CTFs and to modify video games for fun (retro, since it's easier). And you can do those with the typical native GNU/linux utils like objdump -d, gcc, gdb to debug, strings, xxd, etc.

If things get too wild i use Ghidra for more advanced static (like multiple binaries and that shit). But i don't pay IDA pro nor use IDA free even though it's supposed to be the standard and professional way to go by everyone. It's like sometimes I feel less lazy trying to interpret the raw assembly code than reading the "friendly" pseudo code c from IDA. Am I too autistic by doing this?

(Actually to reverse games I can be so lazy sometimes that I will only try cheat engine on and on XD)

I don't use such software on my Linux computer btw. You don't need to be tech savvy to use Linux, just fyi.
I have approximately 1 terabyte of anime on my computer.

Only ever used ILSpy to attempt to port the old "Reciprocity" app (It's just an old and long dead film reciprocity failure correction calculator for Android, with a bunch of presets for various films based both on the docs and third-party tests) over to Flutter. It was shockingly easy to decompile a Xamarin app like this, and I'm not even proficient at coding to begin with.

Don't panic. It's easy AF.

1. Take this code for instance

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("Hello, World!\n");
    return 0;
}


2. Copy and paste it in any text editor and then save it with ext .c
3. On your linux terminal use this command on the file you just saved [ gcc file.c -o new_file ]. (This will compile the program to run it if you want with ./file.c
4. Disssemble the program with this command [ objdump -d new_file ] (to get access to the raw code machine)
5. Use string command or | grep pipe to look for hints like the keyword "Hello".

Technically you hacked it :3

is it for reverse engineering? too lazy to learn but everything is open source if you know reverse engineering

Yup. Reverse eng , Binary exploitation, and even useful for OS Dev if you deepen very into ASM code and low level architecture. You can go to HTB or OTW. There are very funny CTFs. Or portSwigger if you like more playing with web pentest.

Sorry XD

CTF = Capture the flag (Hacking competitions, games, etc)
ASM = Assembly Language (language ugly as fuck but if you learn it everything is open source)
HTB = Hack the box (to play ctfs)
OTW = Over the wire (ctfs but for noobs)
portSwigger = (ctf but for web practice)

I did a bug bounty and found an XSS in Bootstrap, but they removed the HTML that made it possible, so the owners of the bounty said that cases like that, where a vulnerability exists but can't be exploited, don't count...

@hacker09 oh.. how bad. I found a command injection in 2022 but they closed it for being out of scope. They almost ban me from the program xd. Ever since i haven't even tried to monetize. Only for fun

Mmm I see, I know nothing about photography but if you were using ILSpy to decompile that thing is because it must be some .NET/C# app and perhaps you were trying to bring an obsolete app to a modernized cross platform version by porting it to flutter. That's so nice.
I never used ILspy tbh but i did have some short experience coding desktop programs in C#. Not my favorite lang if u ask me

I've dabbled in a bit of it, but I wouldn't say I'm very knowledgeable on some of the differences.

ya, it's not a very popular topic sadly. Most people run away when they see a binary. If they gave it a shot they'd realize it's very funny T.T
