Author: Ruan Yifeng Link:http://www.ruanyifeng.com/blog/2018/01/ Code Farmer’s Way High-Quality Technical Article Directory of Code Farmer’s Way (Click Me) About Code Farmer’s Way (Click Me) Learning programming is essentially learning high-level languages, which are designed for humans. However, computers do not understand high-level languages; they must be converted into binary code through a compiler to run. Knowing … Read more

Discussing Lunar Lake’s Low Power Design: Can x86 Achieve Low Power?

Discussing Lunar Lake's Low Power Design: Can x86 Achieve Low Power?

There has been a persistent belief that the x86 instruction set is inherently incapable of low power consumption. Is this really the case? This article focuses on how the Core Ultra 2nd generation considers low power consumption and whether it is possible to achieve it… For many years, there has been a rumor: x86 cannot … Read more

Identifying and Avoiding NOP Instructions in Disassembly

Identifying and Avoiding NOP Instructions in Disassembly

In the workplace, a significant amount of time and effort is spent analyzing NOP instructions, which has become a concern for reverse engineers and security responders. NOP instructions are a series of instructions that have no actual significance. Besides wasting time, I have found that some people are also shocked and excited by the NOP … Read more

A Non-Professional Comparison of Various Open Source Disassembly Engines

A Non-Professional Comparison of Various Open Source Disassembly Engines

Due to my personal interests and work requirements, I have researched and used various popular open source x86/64 assembly and disassembly engines. If you want to analyze and manipulate assembly instructions, you either need to study the Intel instruction set and write your own, or use existing open source engines. Writing your own is a … Read more

CTF Assembly Challenge: Learning ARM and X86 Assembly

CTF Assembly Challenge: Learning ARM and X86 Assembly

The problem is relatively simple but tests the basics of binary assembly.I personally think that the fundamentals are veryimportant, so I spent some time carefully studying this problem to solidify my foundation.If it wereoffline, without GPT’s help, contestants would need a solid understanding of assembly to conduct a detailed analysis of the problem. If you … Read more

Is X86 Assembly Truly a Terrifying Existence?

Is X86 Assembly Truly a Terrifying Existence?

Assembly Language, for those who have never delved deeply into it, can be incredibly arcane. Since our computers are developed based on assembly language, understanding this content will greatly help us clarify how the CPU works. The X86 computer is fully backward compatible with the IBM PC – from the top level of the system … Read more

Analysis of x86, ARM, and MIPS Chip Architectures

Analysis of x86, ARM, and MIPS Chip Architectures

Instruction sets can be divided into Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) and Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC), represented by the architectures x86, ARM, and MIPS. ARM RISC is a chip architecture designed to improve processor speed, with key technology in pipelining, which allows multiple instructions to be completed in one clock cycle. Compared to Complex … Read more
