C++ Strings and C Runtime (CRT) Reverse Engineering Tips
🕑 Added 2024-11-23 15:00:08 +0000 UTCin this tutorial we examine C++ strings initialized in the CRT __initterm and how to take advantage of this setup when reverse engineering malware with encrypted strings.
Resources
Practice Examples
Attached are both the encrypted and non-encrypted compiled examples as well as the accompanying PDB files. I strongly recommend attempting to decrypt the strings using x64dbg by replicating the steps shown in the tutorial.
