The IDA Pro Book, 2nd Edition: The Unofficial Guide to the World's Most Popular Disassembler
No source code? No problem. With IDA Pro, the interactive disassembler, you live in a source code-optional world. IDA can automatically analyze the millions of opcodes that make up an executable and present you with a disassembly. But at that point, your work is just beginning. With The IDA Pro Book , you'll learn how to turn that mountain of mnemonics into something you can actually use.
Hailed by the creator of IDA Pro as "profound, comprehensive, and accurate," the second edition of The IDA Pro Book covers everything from the very first steps to advanced automation techniques. You'll find complete coverage of IDA's new Qt-based user interface, as well as increased coverage of the IDA debugger, the Bochs debugger, and IDA scripting (especially using IDAPython). But because humans are still smarter than computers, you'll even learn how to use IDA's latest interactive and scriptable interfaces to your advantage.
Save time and effort as you learn
–Navigate, comment, and modify disassembly
–Identify known library routines, so you can focus your analysis on other areas of the code
–Use code graphing to quickly make sense of cross references and function calls
–Extend IDA to support new processors and filetypes using the SDK
–Explore popular plug-ins that make writing IDA scripts easier, allow collaborative reverse engineering, and much more
–Use IDA's built-in debugger to tackle hostile and obfuscated code
Whether you're analyzing malware, conducting vulnerability research, or reverse engineering software, a mastery of IDA is crucial to your success. Take your skills to the next level with this 2nd edition of The IDA Pro Book .

This book is incredibly useful for users of IDA pro. I've used IDA for several years, but I dog-eared at least sixteen pages that contain immediately actionable information, and I learned at least two other valuable pieces of information. Each of these bits of information are probably worth the cost of the book.

One of the best written technical books I've read, alongside Steven's TCP/IP Illustrated. Clearly explained extremely technical subjects in a very readable and enjoyable manner. If you use IDA, you must read this book.

Excellent book. If you plan to spend anytime at all in IDAPro you should read this book. The last few chapters are very introductory topics that are better covered in other books but still worth glancing at.

If you want to master IDA, DON'T read this book. It will just waste your time and limit your mind, thinking you have learnt something. Experiment. That's the only way to become a IDA guru. I agree that IDA is a great tool. Become an expert by DIY!
