This course is for reverse engineers, researchers, and analysts looking to level up with Binary Ninja. It provides a comprehensive tour of Binary Ninja’s powerful core analysis features, alongside an opinionated guide of the reverse engineering process. We’ll show you all the common workflows you might be familiar with in other tools, and how to leverage Binary Ninja’s additional capabilities to do them faster than ever. Wherever you are, this course will boost your reversing skills.

We’ll also explore performing actions through Binary Ninja’s extremely ergonomic Python API, and how to use or extend its analysis results to accelerate your reverse engineering process. All-in-all, this class will cover everything you need to get the most out of your new best friend!

Topics Covered

Simple crackmes
How to read Binary Ninja’s ILs
Binary annotation / interaction

Who Should Attend

Reverse Engineers
Vulnerability Researchers
Malware Analysts
CTF Players
Tool Builders
Anyone looking to become a Binary Ninja

Prerequisite Knowledge

Students must be able to read and write intermediate-level Python scripts. A foundation in reverse engineering, vulnerability research, firmware analysis, or similar would be helpful, but not required. Students should be familiar with how the stack works, what the heap is, and some basic vulnerability classes (buffer overflow, stack smashing, etc). Guided exercises reminiscent of low-point reversing CTF challenges are integrated into the course, and students should be able to derive their own solutions.

Hardware / Software Requirements

A laptop that can run Binary Ninja

(Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 x64; Windows 10/11 x64; MacOSX 11+ x64, MacOSX 12+ arm64).
(Optional)

A x64 Linux VM to run binaries (most binaries are also provided for ARM Macs)

Students will be provided with

A free non-commercial license of Binary Ninja including one year of updates (can convert to a license extension or used as a discount for a commercial upgrade upon request)
Slides
Example scripts and binaries
Exercise templates
Full answers and scripts at the end of the class!
