F-Secure Reverse Engineering Challenge 2007
Fancy utilizing your analytical and deductive skills to solve a trio of challenges and learn some extra knowlegde in the process? Actually, there were iPods up for grabs for the three fastest entries but they have already been won. You can still win a visit to F-Secure’s anti-virus lab in Helsinki (excluding travel expenses)
Try F-Secure Reverse Engineering Challenge 2007 (started yesterday at 3:00 PM (SG time) and ends on Sunday 4:59 PM) which I read about over @ Didier Steven’s blog. For more rules and details of the competition, head over to this page @ the ASSEMBLY Summer ‘07 site.
Some of my favourite freeware tools of the trade that you may find useful:
- IDA Pro Freeware 4.3 (or Google Search for freeida43.exe) - A freeware version of a most powerful disassembler
- OllyDbg - Disassembler and assembler-level debugger
- HxD - My favourite hex editor

The first challenge should be simple enough for even basic reverse engineers - as long as you’re comfortable with basic programming and debugging, it shouldn’t even take you more than 20 minutes. Download it from the offfical site at www.khallenge.com.
