Kali Linux 2018: Windows Penetration Testing - Second Edition

Summary

Reverse Engineering to get a definitive answer as to the actual code for a complicated application is unlikely, since there are many ways to achieve the same output via loops or choice structures. It is easier to get a statistical list of possible treatments of the inputs by testing several of them. You are likely to get more detail from looking at the assembly code outputs from EDB-Debugger or OllyDbg. As you have probably noticed, the assembly code for Linux and for Windows applications is basically identical. High-level languages such as C and C++ are just ways to get at the assembly code that can be easily converted to machine code to tell the machine what to do.

Stress testing your Windows hosts comes down to checking their ability ...
