Incorporate the assembly language routines in your high level language applications


Key Features:

  • Understand the Assembly programming concepts and the benefits of examining the AL codes generated from high level languages
  • Learn to incorporate the assembly language routines in your high level language applications
  • Understand how a CPU works when programming in high level languages


Book Description:

The Assembly language is the lowest level human readable programming language on any platform. Knowing the way things are on the Assembly level will help developers design their code in a much more elegant and efficient way. It may be produced by compiling source code from a high-level programming language (such as C/C++) but can also be written from scratch. Assembly code can be converted to machine code using an assembler.


The first section of the book starts with setting up the development environment on Windows and Linux, mentioning most common toolchains. The reader is led through the basic structure of CPU and memory, and is presented the most important Assembly instructions through examples for both Windows and Linux, 32 and 64 bits. Then the reader would understand how high level languages are translated into Assembly and then compiled into object code. Finally we will cover patching existing code, either legacy code without sources or a running code in same or remote process.


What You Will Learn:

  • Obtain deeper understanding of the underlying platform
  • Understand binary arithmetic and logic operations
  • Create elegant and efficient code in Assembly language
  • Understand how to link Assembly code to outer world
  • Obtain in-depth understanding of relevant internal mechanisms of Intel CPU
  • Write stable, efficient and elegant patches for running processes


Who this book is for:

This book is for developers who would like to learn about Assembly language. Prior programming knowledge of C and C++ is assumed.

About the Author

Alexey Lyashko is an Assembly language addict, independent software reverse engineer, and consultant. At the very beginning of his career, when he was a malware researcher at Aladdin Knowledge Systems, he invented and developed a generic code recognition method known as HOFA™. After spending a few years in the anti-malware industry and gaining sufficient experience in low-level development and reverse engineering, Alexey switched to content protection and worked as a reverse engineering consultant with Irdeto's BD+ department, actively participating in content protection technology development.

Since 2013, he has worked with several software development companies providing reverse engineering and low-level software development consultancy.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is exactly what anyone that wants to learn assembly should pick up!
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2017
This book covers all the main points of diving into the exciting world of assembly programming. I purchased the digital and physical copy of the book and wholeheartedly believe that it should be a book on every programmer's shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars The book is for the ones who completely does not know anything about assembly or low-level programming. An introduction book.

This book gives an excellent introduction into low-level programming and assembly programming itself. It gives you just an idea of how everything works and so you'll not become a guru after reading this book, you'll just have something common in your mind, some idea you will be able to use later. There are another books with better quality of assembly programming teaching but this one is good for the beginners too.

I liked it especially for this kind of introduction like "explain like I am five" - you'll not know everything in really low-level details but you'll be able to dive into it later. I also realized how this book is good after reading the "Low Level Programming" by Igor Zhirkov (Apress): you already know enough to read the latter one but the LLP is actually much more good in explaining details than the "Mastering Assembly Programming".

As a summary, I'd suggest to start learning assembly programming from this book and then go to the "Low level programming" after.

I hate it when writer says something like this: “... The ... is indeed very simple as all it does is...”. When they do this, they are telling us they think they are such a great writer, it should be clear to the reader. Well, no , it was not very simple.
The author does this over and over...
The book is just ok.

3.0 out of 5 stars The organization could be improved
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2017
It don't particularly like the organization. I would prefer it to start in chapter 1 (after getting an environment setup) with the basic "Hello World" program, and build from slowly and clearly from there. Instead, it starts by listing Intel CPU registers in chapter 1. By chapter 3 the discussion is not so easy to follow: the text does not explain well but instead gives short statements, apparently assuming you have some preexisting knowledge of assembly. Again, a better approach would be to build slowly upon the foundation of "Hello World" - adding one or two new instructions along the way, and explaining what each new instruction does - instead of jumping into listings of CPU registers and then listings of the instruction set.

I realize the book is titled MASTERING ... not BEGINNING ..., but the beginning of the book states, "This book is primarily intended for developers wishing to enrich their understanding of low-level proceedings, but, in fact, there is no special requirement for much experience, although a certain level of experience is anticipated."
