Hello from a reverse engineering addicted! (Italy)
Hi all, I'm Luca from Italy.
When I was in primary school I got an A500 from my uncle, with a box full of floppies (Another World and Toki were among them!). I had also an Atari monitor. Nowadays I code for work, but in my free time I love to reverse engineer and document old DRMs, viruses and packers (you will find some technical papers on my website). After all these years I'd like to start reverse engineering the protection of some of these Amiga games and document them. After all, my interested in RE started in that period, watching those nice cracktros for literaly hours. I know nothing about Motorola asm, so it will be a fun adventure! ![]() I plan to use these tools: - AR3 or Hrtmon: as disassembler/debugger - Deksid: as hex editor - XCopy: to get information about the protection - IPF of game floppy & empty ADF virtual file - UAE as emu - Various packers/crunchers on game-by-game basis am I missing something? EDIT: oh forgot to say that I'm interested in reverse engineering bootblock viruses too! If you have a bootblock virus, feel free to send me te ADF or just the bootblock dump! |

WinUAE has a debugger/disassembler built into it you could look at. Ghidra is probably the most user friendly and advanced disassembler, if you need to do longer sessions on your regular computer.

i'd add my vote to ghidra but if you are determined to use original tools then resource was pretty good for its time. I wrote a number of crack tutorials for flashtro.com - they have a pretty good collection of them which might be useful for you as well (some of them are better written than others though). |
